How do booking series work?
Booking series work with the combination of a booking option (mode “Series”) and the availability of the resource:- You set the booking option’s mode to Series
- You create the individual appointments in the resource’s availability
- You assign these appointments to a series (for example “Yoga June 2026”)
- Customers select the series they want via a dropdown during the booking process and book all appointments at once
Provided resources per appointment
Additional resources (for example trainers or rooms) can be connected to individual appointments and are managed directly at the slot level.Cancelling booking series
Admin cancellation offers three options:When do I use this?
- You offer courses with fixed dates (for example a 12-week language course, an 8-week yoga course): Create a series with all course appointments.
- You want to offer several course cycles in parallel: Create multiple series on the same resource (for example “Beginners May” and “Beginners July”).
- You also want to enable drop-ins: Leave individual appointments without a series assignment, so they remain separately bookable.
- You need a trainer assignment per appointment: Connect provided resources at the slot level.
- Not suitable for: Automatically recurring individual appointments (for example a weekly jour fixe that repeats endlessly). Use Recurring Bookings for that.
How it connects with other features
- Recurring Bookings: Recurring bookings repeat one appointment automatically (for example every Monday). Booking series are fixed, manually maintained appointment packages. These are different concepts.
- Custom Forms: Form data for series is stored exclusively on the master appointment and only visible there.
- Cancellation Conditions: Cancellation conditions only apply when cancelling the entire series, not for single-appointment cancellations.
