How to Book Gaming Slots Online with Bookings and Appointments for WooCommerce Plugin

In this guide, we will tell you how you can set up and book gaming slots using the Bookings and Appointments for WooCommerce plugin and take a real-life example to help you understand how it’s done. Read along.

The Business Case:

Josh has set up a WooCommerce online gaming site where he allows his customers to book ‘3D Mini Golf’ on an hourly basis. The game runs from 10 AM to 10 PM, and a maximum of 8 people can book for every hour.

Below are his pricing structure for every hour:

Adults (16+): $25

Kids (5 to 15): $18

Concession (Concessions apply to people with either a current Federal Pension Card or WA Seniors Card, school student concession for children up to and including year 12’s): $18

Family Pass (2 adults + 2 children): $76

Solution using Bookings and Appointments for WooCommerce Plugin:

Step 1: Create a product “3D Mini Golf” on an hourly basis. Set the Max bookings per block as 8 because no more than 8 people can book for any given hour.

Step 2: Set the booking period from 10 AM to 10 PM.

Step 3: Provide the participants’ pricing under the Booking Participants tab. And enable the “Consider each participant as a separate block” such that 4 people book at a time, it will be considered as 4 different bookings, and only 4 will be left out of 8 seats for that said time block.

Enable “Charge per block” as the pricing will be calculated for every hour.

Step 4: For Family Pass, where for each booking 4 participants will be considered, we need to install the Bookings-participant-group add-on. This add-on will work in such a way that for every 1 family pass entered by the customers, the number of seats that will be considered is 4.

Refer to know more about the installation and setting up of the add-on.

Step 5: Voilà! Josh will now be able to allow his customers to book for his game “3D Mini Golf” as illustrated in the screenshots below:
