Bookly Chain Appointments

Bookly Chain Appointments - Advanced Booking Management Extension

Bookly Chain Appointments is an extension for the Bookly booking system that allows you to create and manage linked bookings. This solution simplifies defining services with multiple stages or dates, automatically booking subsequent appointments, and synchronizing multiple resources or employees in a single transaction. This makes scheduling complex services faster and more transparent for both the client and the calendar administrator.

Key Features of Bookly Chain Appointments

• Chaining appointments: the ability to combine several services or visits into one chain, which are booked sequentially.
• Configuring time intervals: defining breaks between subsequent chain elements, which allows you to precisely adjust the schedule to real needs.
• Multi-staff booking: Option to assign individual stages to different team members or resources.
• Single booking form: the customer makes one booking for all related dates, without the need for multiple confirmations.
• Editable chain templates: Create pre-made service sequences that can be reused for future bookings.
• Calendar visibility: all related appointments are displayed as part of a single chain, with the ability to color and tag them individually.
• Pricing and billing support: ability to set the total price for the chain and prices for individual stages.
• Possibility of modification after booking: flexible options for changing the dates of individual elements of the chain by the administrator or, depending on permissions, also by the customer.

Benefits of use

• Increased planning efficiency: automating the booking of several related dates minimizes the risk of conflicts and saves time.
• Better customer experience: the customer books a comprehensive service in one step, improving the convenience and transparency of the purchasing process.
• Simplified resource management: the ability to block locations, employees and resources simultaneously eliminates schedule overload.
• Possibility to offer complex packages: an ideal solution for multi-stage services – beauty salons, medical clinics, education, photo sessions or renovations.
• Scalability: Chain templates and flexible settings allow you to adapt the solution to small and large companies.

Practical applications

Bookly Chain Appointments is ideal for any service that involves multiple, interconnected steps or requires the coordination of multiple people. Typical applications include:

• hairdressing and beauty salons - a treatment consisting of a consultation, service and subsequent styling;
• clinics and specialist offices – initial examination, treatment and follow-up in one booking process;
• service services - item pickup, diagnosis and repair scheduled as related appointments;
• training and courses – classes divided into modules, booked as a set;
• photography and events - preparation session, main session and photo editing, with separate time slots.

Integration and management

The extension works seamlessly with the Bookly interface, allowing you to leverage your existing booking system without having to create a separate process. Administrators can define availability rules, prioritize employees, and monitor the entire appointment chain in the calendar panel. Clear labels and filtering options allow you to quickly find and manage related bookings in bulk.

Bookly Chain Appointments is a tool designed for businesses that need advanced organization of multi-stage services within WordPress. Its use helps streamline schedules, reduce manual administrative tasks, and improve customer satisfaction. Implementing this extension streamlines complex booking processes and allows for the offering of attractive, bundled services.
