Simplify Appointment Scheduling Process with Bookly
Pro
Bookly Pro is the best booking plugin for WordPress websites
(customer’s words – not ours). The process of booking appointments
is fully customizable for your clients. It’s anywhere from 2 to 6
easy Steps. Here’s a walkthrough of the user experience in the
standard 6-Step scheduling process.
This piece touches on add-ons, and focuses more on the standard
booking plugin. Check out and the deeper customization options they
provide.
Step 1: Choose
Service
Upon arrival at the page containing the booking plugin, the
client enters the following information:
- Desired service
- Desired staff member
- Desired date and time
Note: Let customers decide on the number of people they wish to
book. How: With , increase the capacity of a service in the
Services tab and untick the ‘Number of Persons’ checkbox while
.
, one of our most popular add-ons, allows you to add extra
products or services to an appointment. When added, a new step will
appear in the booking process, pictured below.
Step 2. Pick a
Time Slot
Based on the preferred date & time, the booking system
offers a list of available time slots. The customer can browse
through the scheduling list and choose the time that suits
them.
You can customize the available dates that are displayed to
clients. You can also change the appearance, like having each day
in a separate column.
Step 3 (optional): Book Multiple Appointments in One Session
With the , your clients can book multiple appointments in one
booking session. This feature adds an option to ‘book more’ right
after Step 2. The ‘book more’ button will bring them back to Step
1, while storing the current booking on their cart ().
Two add-ons are worth mentioning at this point. allows the
client to book different services in one visit. For example in a
dentist’s office: a cleaning, whitening and check-up can be booked
in sequence.
allows your client to book identical services back-to-back. This
is useful for group bookings where clients are assisted
individually.
All booked appointments will be displayed together with their
dates, times, staff members, and prices.
Step 4: User Info
Here’s where customers insert info for organizational or
marketing purposes. The defaults are name, phone number and email.
These fields cannot be removed, but the phone number can be
replaced with a Skype ID. More fields .
Your customers can also leave notes here on the booking system.
Like their favourite spa cocktail or a request for parking
space.
Step 5: Payment
The customer can choose between multiple payment options,
including offline payment (cash on arrival). There are 10+ online
payment options that you can choose from and enable for your
plugin. .
You can integrate and offer coupons, .
Should you offer any free services (price set to 0), this step
will be skipped.
Step 6:
Booking Confirmation
Appointment confirmed. If you’ve set up notifications (highly
recommended), a confirmation email and a text message (SMS) with
booking details are sent to the customer. See how to set
notifications up with , or
If you have switched on the , we recommend that you change the
wording of this last step. An acknowledgement or heads-up to say
that you’ll be in touch to confirm the booking would be better.

What is Bookly
Pro?
Bookly Pro is an add-on which requires the Bookly plugin for
WordPress websites. With Bookly, your clients can make bookings for
service right on your site. No need for time-consuming phone calls
or face-to-face meetings.
According to many reviews, Bookly is the best booking plugin for
WP. It’s a unique booking system that is under constant development
to stay on top. Our programmers never stop working to satisfy your
requests and concerns.
So if you’re ready to automate booking on your (or your
client’s) website, Bookly could be the appointment software you’re
looking for.
What you would need to replicate Bookly – without Bookly?
If you wanted your website to accept bookings online, you would
choose Bookly, right? But what if you didn’t?
First of all, you’d need an expert programmer to set a booking
system up on your website. If you didn’t wish to keep this expert
on your payroll, you’d need to train up one of your current
employees to keep it all running. This first step costs time and
money.
Next you would have to train each of your staff members on how
to use this software. This can also cost a lot of time, depending
on how complicated the system is.
Then you would have to hire someone in a secretarial role to
handle the bookings and allocate staff members.
It could become quite a messy business.
That’s why Bookly is such a great plugin. It takes all of these
moving parts out and adds them into a simple plugin with powerful
capabilities.
Let’s take a look at some of those capabilities.
What
does Bookly Pro have to offer?
* Some features require add-ons, but most don’t.
* Bookly is in a state of constant development, depending on
what the community wants. Thanks to our , you decide what we
develop.
