I’m working for a small art studio and need help implementing a certain feature. When a client books for one of our workshops, we also have them select 1-2 products to paint as part of the intake form. The problem currently is that up to 8 clients can book at once in a batch, and this intake form doesn’t account for the number of clients in the batch. Our current solution is for the intake form to account for all 8 possible clients, but we have had occurrences where a client will book for one person, pay the studio fee for one person, but fill out several people’s worth of product to paint.

I’d like it if the intake forms could be generated based on the number of clients within the batch. If the batch is a collection of bookings, would it be possible to set up the front end to show the intake form for each booking simultaneously and edit the individual bookings within the batch? Or is there another method for appending arbitrary information when making a booking?

Hi,
You can call book method for each booking and pass different values for each booking.

And by assigning them the same booking batch ID they can be accepted as a batch I assume. I guess a follow up to my question would be is it possible to pass booking/batch ids to the existing payment confirmation system that SimplyBookMe provides, or would that need to be implemented on our own webserver if we want to change the other parts of the booking system? Thanks for the prior assistance.
