EffectIO Bookly Service Extras (Add-on) 6.6

Description:

Bookly Service Extras, version 6.6, is an add-on for the Bookly booking plugin for WordPress. It lets a business attach optional extras to a service, so customers can add them on top of their appointment. The idea is extra margin: rather than offering only the core service, you can offer additional items or services at an additional cost. A plumber who fixes pipes can, for example, sell custom home appliances alongside the repair. A vet can offer a flu vaccination as an extra on top of a regular check-up, giving the owner another opportunity to protect their pet during the same visit.

The customer experience stays as it was. The customer first chooses the type of service and the employee they want it from, and then a new step appears in the appointment creation process. In that step, several options are presented, and the customer picks the ones they want. Each option affects the final price and the timing of the appointment. An extra that takes an additional 10 minutes, such as a one on one consultation, will therefore lengthen the booking as well as raise the total. The rest of the booking flow stays the same, with the extras step added to it.

Setup happens inside WordPress. After purchasing the add-on, you install it into your Bookly plugin. The extras are then set up in the Services section of the WordPress Bookly dashboard. A detailed technical instruction on how to set up and use the add-on is available in the documentation.

The add-on is aimed at businesses that already take appointments through Bookly and want to earn more from each booking. Because the extras step sits inside the standard appointment creation process, it can fit many kinds of service businesses. Bookly covers industries including salons, spas, massage, fitness studios, event services, tutoring, photography, and dental clinics. Whatever the field, the pattern is the same: the business defines the options, the customer selects them during booking, and the price and duration of the appointment update to match.

The vendor’s own page for Bookly Service Extras (Add-on) has the full details.
