Description

This module allows a user to check appointment availability, book appointments or schedule a time slot online. The Appointment Booking Module is suited to businesses that run with daily appointments like doctors, beauticians or hair stylists.

Summary

Once the Tribe Leader defines the number of available timeslots for any given resource, a user can see when the resource is available and book an appointment. Time slots are day‐of‐the‐week based, not date‐based so it is easy to setup. The system supports book‐offs for days when the resource is not available.

Users also have the option of making recurring appointments. The module let’s the Tribe Leader can limit bookings to certain dates so they can be issued for specific‐purpose events, such as parent‐teacher conferences or, workshop sign ups, or consulting appointments.

This Booking system has been streamlined for ease‐of‐use, making it flexible and versatile to both to the users and the Tribe Leader.

Everything is configurable ‐ everything. This system allows A Tribe Leader to assign working hours for their staff and resources, which can vary every day. The user then selects the type of session they want and a price, if applicable.

The user then makes a quick payment over Paypal, they retrieve their Transaction ID and they are done. The module also lets the Tribe Leader add coupons or special discounts for their Members. The module has preconfigured and editable email templates for great range of events and has the option of adding automatic reminders on user’s calendars so no one misses an appointment!
