Booking methods
The Brikk theme allows you to use 3 booking methods:
- Booking ( Days )
- Booking ( Hours )
- Booking ( Appointments )
Basically all the methods work the same way, but the users will be able to select different time ranges.
How to set a booking method to your listing type
- Edit your listing type
- Navigate to `Listing Action Actions Types`
- Select the booking action type you want and click `Add Action Type`
- If you expand the action type you can see additional options for configurations and the first one is `Select Product`. It is important to select a product ( check below to learn how to create the booking product ). This product will be used for your purchase and it will be added to the card with dynamically calculated price, based on the type configuration and user selection. Otherwise, when you try to send a booking request, you will see error message `Booking product is missing`
- That’s all! Your listings are now ready to accept booking requests
How to create a booking product
- You need WooCommerce plugin active
- Then navigate to Product Add new
- Enter a name for the product
- Select `Listing Booking` as product type
- Save it ( price is not required )
