General Configuration

On the admin sidebar, choose Booking & Reservation > Configurations:

General

• Enable Module: Allow customers to access booking features. When disable, customers won’t be able to place orders on Booking Products. The chosen Booking category will also be hidden, and can be view once module is re-enabled.
• Booking Category: Define the Booking Category, which will be used as:

• Default category for new booking products.
• Insert direct links to “My Booking Orders” in the menu bar entry of that category
• Toggle category visibility on Frontend when enable/disable module.

• Hold Quantity: The global Hold Quantity settings. Will be used when Hold Quantity for a product is enabled and set as 0.

• Tip: Enable a product’s Hold Quantity and setting its + global hold quantity to 0 will prevent placing orders with any offline payment methods.

• Paid State: If an order with offline payment methods reached this state, the amount of Hold Quantity it has taken from the booking slot will be replenished.

• An order might skip the state defined in this configuration. In that case, that order will be considered “Paid” once it has been Invoiced.

Booking Settings

All timing calculations are done in UTC timezone.

• Allow customers to cancel orders before: Customer won’t be able to request cancellation if the amount of time left before Booked Date is below this value. Only calculate by Booking Date, not the Time Range (if specified) of that slot.
• Maximum Booked Items: Limit the number of unpaid orders a customer can have, which include:

• Placed Orders that haven’t reached “Paid” status.
• Booking Products in customer’s cart.

        Leave as 0 to disable orders limit.

• Minimum Booking Time: A slot can only be booked if the amount of time before its date is above this value. Only calculate by date, not the Time Range (if specified) of that slot.
• Days Off: A global limit applied to all Booking Products. Prevent customers from booking the chosen weekdays, even if there’re slots available on that date.

All Booking orders placed can be viewed in our module’s Order Management grid, which can be accessed by clicking on Booking & Reservation -> Order Management.

The Grid allows you to:

• Quickly view all booked slots, or navigate to the slots you need by filtering. You can filter Booking Orders by its Magento Orders, Booked Date, Created Datel; as well as the Customer, Product, and current status of that orders.
• Checking out an Order with a special Booking Status system, allowing you to quickly determine the best course of action:

• Ordered status is assigned when an order is placed with qty within hold limit but hasn't reached the defined Paid Status, and hasn't been invoiced or only partially invoiced. Only applied for product with Unpaid Order enabled.
• An order is considered Paid if it has reached the defined Paid Status, or it was fully invoiced, or the associated product "Unpaid Order" attribute is disabled, or the order quantity exceeded Hold Quantity.
• An order is Complete if it has gotten past the Booked Date without being Canceled.
• When Customer request cancellation, Cancellation Requested status will be assigned to the order.
• An order is considered Canceled if its Ordered Quantity = Canceled Quantity + Refunded Quantity.

• Quickly respond to a cancellation request:

• Review the request’s message and quantity

• Quickly cancel the order if possible, otherwise redirect you to the order’s creditmemo page:

Create Reservation Rule

Reservation rules will be used to create promotion programs for Booking products. To create a new Reservation rule, follow these steps:

 Step 1: On the Admin sidebar, go to Booking & Reservation > Reservation Rule > Add New Rule button

You will direct to the Reservation Rule form page:

Then we have Special Date Rule, 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.  Admins can view or delete Reservation Price Rules. 

Especially, admins can set pre-order for Reservation Price Rule. 

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. You need to select correct Product ID 

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 in Magenest Booking And Reservation tab. Then click on Magenest Reservation Configuration tab to configure reservation products.  

When a customer is on the frontend of a Booking and Reservation product, he will be able to select a specific date assigned with a staff. There are two UI for Booking and Reservation products. It depends on Reservation Option. 

Full day:

Some hours in 1 day:

When a day is selected, the system will check if there are any product schedules available. 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 will choose schedule and enter number of slots they want to order 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.

In order to help customers manage overbooked reservation easier, the system has created My Booking and Reservation tab in frontend:

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