• Default Order Status: specify the default status of newly placed reservation orders.

Price Rules 

We have implemented 3 kinds of price rules: Staff Price Rules, Special Date Price Rules and Reservation Price Rules. These rules will add some versatility to the effort of the better-evaluating price of the reservation. With Staff Price Rules, go to Staff Price Rules tab in Reservation menu.

Then we have Special Date Amount, which will add or subtract a certain amount of money when a certain date is selected. 

Rule Amount is defined so that if a staff of one type is selected on frontend by the customer, a corresponding amount will be added to the total. 

Another price rules - Reservation Price Rules allows admins to create reservation price rules for Time Activity such as every day, every week, every month, every year.  

Main Features 

Define Staff Information

Go to Backend of Magento 2 store > System > All Users > Add New User button to add staff into stores. 

At Staff Management tab, you will be taken to the users list. From now on, you will be able to make an admin user a staff. In detail, you can add some information of the staff as below.

You can also add Work Schedule for the staff. This is nearly identical to the discussed product schedule.

Lastly, the user can view booked orders in which the staff has been chosen.

Usage Procedure

With our Booking and Reservation extension, admins have the ability of setting reservation products for any products including existed products. To create a reservation product, admins just choose yes or no in Magenest Booking And Reservation tab. Then click on Magenest Reservation Configuration tab to confix reservation products if choose yes.  

When a customer is on a frontend detail page of a product of type Booking and Reservation, he will be able to select a date with a date picker input field as shown.

When a day is selected, the system will check if there are any product schedules available that day and display them. It will also check if the selected day is within a special date range as formerly specified. Then if a schedule is selected, the system will now check the staff with the corresponding schedule. Some information about the staff will also be displayed. 

If the products do not include staff, customers need to choose only schedule then click on Add To Cart button > Save Selection.   

Then when the customer adds the product to cart, he will be able to view the product.

When the order is successfully placed, this is what it will look like on My Orders page in customer's My Account.

For easier management overbooked reservation, the customer can also check the My Booking and Reservation tab.

From admin's perspective, he can view all booked reservation in Reservation Orders.
