How do I use appointments to support online accommodation bookings

judithah — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 01:47:42 GMT

I am wanting to set up an online booking system for short stay accommodation.

Can the appointments functionality be used for this?

I would need to be able to give customers the ability to book 1, 2 or 3 nights for example.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @judithah

The maximum duration for a service is 24 hours. So yes, you could make it work by having customers book three separate appointments for each night they're staying, for example.

It is not an ideal solution, but you can make it work.

Let us know if you have further questions, thank you!

Hi Frances, thank you, I thought this would be the case, unfortunately that won't really work for me.

I will have to find another solution.
