Using Bookly for an event center website
I am building an event center website and I am evaluating Bookly for my needs. Visitors need to be able to book blocks of time for a space - could be 3 hours, could be 5 hours, or all day...customer's choice based on their event length. The rented spaces each have a cost per hour with a three-hour minimum. Bookly would need to block those hours out and know how much to charge. Is this something built into Bookly now? Is Bookly the right plugin for this application?

Hi Sabene,
Please note that Bookly is designed to work with a weekly schedule. After you set up the staff member's schedule, this schedule will be repeated for the following weeks. Please note that the system takes into account the staff member's schedule when rendering available time slots in the front-end/booking. So the availability offered in the booking form is based on the schedule of the staff member. Whereas, the interval of the slots offered is regulated with the time slot length as this is the basis of how the hours are divided and presented in the booking form.
