Payments for Appointment and Event Scheduling
How many plugins do you need to enable your site to manage payments from multiple sources for a variety of events; assuming you’d rather not do so manually? With Amelia 2.0 the answer is one.
Amelia allows you to schedule different event types and automates and simplifies the payments process; a “must” for if a booking solution is to be all-inclusive.
Amelia features WooCommerce integration together with PayPal and Stripe support, including the ability to manage different currencies. Simply set up an event and watch the automatic SMS notifications pile up as payments are successfully received and processed.
Events Calendar
The Events Calendar is a powerhouse Amelia feature that can actively boost event registration and payments conversions. Users are only one click away from being able to view the panorama of events offered in your service catalog, after which they are guided step by step through the booking process. An event is updated automatically to indicate when its maximum capacity as been reached.
To ensure the entire process is as smooth and intuitive as possible, event booking, payment processing, and the calendar itself share the same UI with you and the attendees. This allows a free flow of data that makes managing events as simple and enjoyable as possible.
That’s just a sample of Amelia 2.0’s capabilities. You can create “invitation only” events or choose which events will appear on the calendar based on their status or on your selections. Click here to read even more about the Events Calendar.

Appointment and Event Scheduling You’ll Wish You Had Before
Amelia was already getting great reviews for its UI and UX. Did the 2.0 release make it any better, and if so, how much?
For starters, a pair of new languages (Dutch and French) were added, along with the Amelia Gutenberg Block.
There’s more, but to get the best use of this plugin, it’s important to fully understand how some of the existing and most popular features work and what they can accomplish.
Four examples:
Admin Dashboard
Business owners and designers are able to view a summary of all KPIs on Amelia’s dashboard. The dashboard display, consisting of tables, charts, and widgets clearly show what actions, if any, need to be taken based on the values of these performance indicators. It only takes a few seconds on the dashboard to get a clear picture of how your business is performing.
Booking Wizard
The booking wizard is another popular feature. It presents users with a step-by-step guide they can follow to proceed smoothly through booking or purchasing. Users can easily select services, locations, and dates along with payment details. They can also make changes on the spot if necessary.

Amelia also saves users the trouble of having to conduct lengthy (more than a few seconds) searches to find and book an event or a series of events. The search widget provides locations and time slots and users can input preferred dates or times and select service types or categories. Lesson learned: making things easy for users translates into conversions.
