Manage multiple locations where you provide your services: associate employees with locations, let clients choose locations for their visits, manage appointments for locations separately.
Locations Add-on is available for download here.
During the booking process, customers choose at which location they would like to receive services.
Setup
Once you’ve downloaded the add-on, you will see the new Locations tab in your Bookly sidebar menu.
Set up locations in that tab and tie employees to the locations.
Unlike categories (which have been used as locations in some setups), the Locations add-on allows you to keep different types of services categorized into groups, have staff migrate between locations (for services provided at home and grouped into locations by neighborhood e.g.).
You can set custom service settings for staff members for different locations.
1. In Settings > Locations, enable the setting Custom settings for location. If enabled, you won’t be able to remove Location field from the booking form (Appearance > Service tab).
2. Navigate to Staff Members > Services tab. Select particular location from the drop-down menu and then click ‘Use custom settings’. You’ll be offered to choose services (and change their pricing) which will be provided by the staff in that particular location.
In Staff Members > Schedule tab, you'll be able to set custom working time for staff member in different locations.
You can filter appointments by location in Bookly Calendar.
Get your Locations add-on here.

Hi Denis, New customer and really excited about the locations plugin. Where can i get this from? Thanks, Chris
Id like to add this, ive been trying to do this with another plugin - Please could you share the link? Cant find it on Code Canyon
The addon was approved and it's available for purchase on CodeCanyon.
Hi Denis
I am using Location add on, but run into a issue I not can solve.
I am using this addon to offer photosession at diffrent locations, but as I ca see, I need to create multiple users (my self) dedicated to each location to be able to set diffrency of prices based on locations.
I am using only the fields: Location, Service and Employee
It would be greate to have a oportunity to set "EXTRA PRICE" for the Location field, due to payed bridges, tollroads, and longer (more expensive travel)
Should I make that in the service field or adding multiple users of myself, I end up with a huge amount fields to maintain.
Hope it will come in a update very soon.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Currently this is not supported, though you could create more staff members with different pricing and hide the employee field on the front end.
$10 sounds nice, but it says $20 on Codecanyon...
Hi Sander, the price went up a little bit since we released the add-on, we'll update the price.
We have staff that spend some days at one surgery and then they spend the rest of the week at another surgery.
Will this add-on cater for this? I dont want patients to be able to choose the location themselves. That is defined by where the doctor is on the day they have chosen to book their appointment. I guess I just need their appointment info to update with the right location.
You can adjust the location in the appointment creation pop-up by clicking on the customer's name and hide the location field if you don't want your customer to choose the location.
Location field seems to be missing from the admin area. When I click to add a new Appointment from the admin area, the Location field is not shown. The Location field is also not shown on the Calendar.
Hi, I've installed the location add-on.
I have some members of staff that works in two locations.
Is there a way to set into the calendar where each person is every day?
For example: Staff-1 works in city-1 on monday and in city-2 on tuesday.
If the customer chooses city-2, the calendar of staff-1 has to be blocked for every monday.
Hi Camila, at the moment there's no option to set different schedules for the same staff member for different locations. I advise to create two staff members with different schedules for this scenario.
@Denis, @Camilla Fecchio,
We have the exact same need on our side. Please let us know when this useful feature will be added. Thanks!
** Synching calendars with locations would be great too.
** And a setting to set locations opening hours
Very interested to purchase bookly and wondering if its possible to setup separate calendars based on a one-time events. For example offering 15 minute massage sessions on one-day at one specific location. I'd prefer the customers can only select options for that particular day and its associated services. And wondering who can get access to download the schedule spreadsheets
Hi Matthew, currently this is not supported, there's no option to set a schedule for a location, you can set the schedule only for staff members and with the locations add-on you can link staff members to location/s. One time-events can be created by using a workaround with the special days add-on, though these special days are set to staff members. Administrators can export appointments in the appointments menu.
If a staff member is selected by default, the full list of locations is displayed, instead of just THEIR locations.
Would like the ability to LOCK an option.
Ex:
-If you're viewing a location's profile page (tells you about facilities, maybe a gallery, etc.), if you LOCK this location and HIDE the location drop down in the form, then only the employees for this location should show.
-If you are viewing an employee's page (tells you about the employee, maybe some pics, etc.), if you LOCK this employee and HIDE staff member selections in the form, you would expect to only see THIS staff member's list of locations.
Would not be hard, right? At the time of inserting the booking form, only one option can be LOCKED. So if Location can't be changed, the staff members can. If staff member can't be changed, their location can. I will use jQuery to make my own changes but I'd love to see it added in an update because this plugin is pretty boss.
Hi Jerome, thanks for your feedback, we'll take into account for future releases.
Hello, we also bought this addon we need the features as JerRob had described. Rightnow this addon lacks many functionalites to manage it, it is not worth the price. Please update those features as soon as possible.
hi there, so if i understand this plugin works if my customer has a different place works .. but i need inverse .. i mean .. my customer offers some services but at your place .. do u understand .. so user put when and where my customer must go ...
idea?
Hi, sorry but your inquiry is not clear. The add-on will help if you have more staff members that work in different places/locations.
ok sorry ... my problem is different ... i mean ... my customer company has a cleaning company .. so his staff need to go out in different location ... i mean customer A living in MILAN that need cleaning service at home, customer B have an office near Milan so understand ...
You could use custom fields for this need and ask customers their address. Custom fields will be displayed on the details step of the booking form.
@denis thanks ok i'll try and of course that customer needs to put their address if want my customer services! :)
thanks.
Hi Denis, is there some way to sync locations with calendar and appointments? the location info does not show anywhere in the db. thanks
Hi, the location can be seen if you open an appointment and click on customer's name and probably can be found also in the database.
Just bought this add-on, but unfortunately it does not serve my purpose. Presales says "Staff associated with specific locations". That 's what I need, but as Jerome Williams stated on january 28th: "If a staff member is selected by default, the full list of locations is displayed, instead of just THEIR locations." Very unhandy, so one more vote for "Would like the ability to LOCK an option.".
The current version of the add-on is useless for me.
Hi Martin, at the moment the add-on works this way. All locations will always be displayed and will reset the rest of the fields in case there are chosen services/staff members that aren't associate with a location.
So I found out. And this makes this add-on useless for me.
If on the booking form I limit, for example, the category or the employee, it should not display locations where that employee does not work. Like it does not show services that employee does not provide. Shouldn't be so hard to code?
I don't know how hard it is to code, locations filter out staff members, it doesn't work the other way around.
Hi,
Have you updated this plugin since the comments in 2016 about having 1 staff member in the system, assigned to different locations at different prices?
This is essential for my client (and I would guess most as different areas have different costs associated with them, rent, travel, room rates etc) which make pricing in different locations variable.
If not, I will have to continue just manually creating booking forms for each location and have multiple staff as there seems little point paying for a plugin just for a dropdown which I can do myself on a previous page or via a simple menu or text link.
