Unleashing the Power of Date-Specific Customization

The Schedulely Unique Dates Add-on empowers you to tailor your scheduling system with unparalleled precision. Its core functionality lets you override standard settings for specific dates. This includes modifying availability, pricing, and even the services offered.

Imagine offering a discounted 'Spa Day' package only on Valentine's Day, or adjusting your staffing and pricing during peak holiday seasons. Perhaps you need to close for a public holiday, or offer an exclusive workshop on a single Saturday. This add-on allows you to handle such scenarios effortlessly.

To set up a unique date, navigate to the 'Unique Dates' section in your scheduling dashboard. Add a new date or date range, then customize the parameters. You can adjust service duration, staff availability, and pricing for that specific period. Each unique date setting overrides the global settings, ensuring targeted control. The add-on's intuitive interface simplifies the process, allowing for swift implementation of date-specific adjustments. It provides unmatched flexibility in managing your scheduling calendar.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Configuration Options

The Schedulely Unique Dates Add-on offers advanced configuration options. These features extend the functionality beyond simple date-specific customizations. Recurring exceptions allow you to exclude specific days from existing recurring schedules. This provides granular control over availability. For example, exclude the third Monday of every month. Date ranges with custom settings streamline the application of settings to continuous periods. No more setting each date individually. This is perfect for seasonal pricing or extended holidays.

Integration capabilities are crucial for developers. The add-on allows integration with other service booking extensions. This enables unique services on specific dates. Consider offering a specialized package only available on weekends. Developers can use hooks and filters to further customize the behavior. The add-on’s filter hook, unique_dates_filter_settings, allows modification of date settings. Code snippets can be added to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin. These features empower developers and agencies to create dynamic experiences.

The flexible design caters to open-source lovers, allowing for community-driven innovation.
