On Solo and Pro, a booking set-up can let visitors choose more than one service, such as a cut and a colour, or a tax return review and a pension check. The services run back to back with the same person, the times and prices add up, and only gaps long enough for the whole visit are offered.
Customers choose several services for one visit, with a running total of time and price.
Only gaps long enough for the whole visit are offered, with someone who offers every service chosen.
Emails, invoices and reports show each service with its own start time and price.
Switch it on for a booking set-up and set the most per visit.
They see the total time and price as they go.
Back to back, with one person.
Setting it up: on a booking set-up, switch on Let visitors choose more than one service and set the most services in one appointment (2 to 10). Each service keeps its own length, price, buffers and the people who offer it.
Booking: the service step becomes tick boxes, "Choose one or more", with a running total of time and price. CaliDiary then only offers times where one person is free for the whole visit: every service, plus the first service's buffer before and the last one's after. The summary shows each service with its own start time, for example "10:00 Tax return review, 10:45 Pension check".
Afterwards: it is one booking with a line for each service, so emails, invoices and reports show every line and the total. Moving or cancelling moves or cancels them all together. Staff can remove one service from the appointment; the end time and price update.
