Bookly Custom Duration (Add-on)

Preset appointment lengths do not suit every service. A consultation might need 20 minutes for one client and an hour for another. This add-on gives clients that choice at the start of the booking process in the Bookly form, so the booking matches the time they actually need instead of a fixed slot.

Once a client picks a duration, the add-on recalculates the service price automatically, so nobody has to adjust billing by hand. Custom-duration bookings appear in the Bookly Calendar as single appointments, with an indicator of how many time units are reserved. It suits meetings, consultations, therapy sessions, conferences and other services with varied demand.

Features

• Client-chosen appointment length: Clients select how long they want their session to last during booking, so appointments fit their needs instead of a single preset duration.
• Time-flexible services: Set up services where clients pick the exact length they need, which suits meetings, consultations, therapy sessions and conferences.
• Automatic price calculation: The service price recalculates based on the duration a client selects, which removes manual adjustments and keeps billing in line with the booked time.
• Selection at the start of booking: Clients choose their desired duration at the beginning of the booking process through the Bookly form, before moving on to other steps.
• Clear calendar view: Custom-duration bookings show in the Bookly Calendar as one appointment, with an indicator of how many time units have been reserved.
• Works with Bookly PRO: The add-on integrates with Bookly PRO Appointment Booking and Scheduling Software, so it fits into the booking setup you already run.
• Browser and WPML compatibility: It works across Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and Edge, and is compatible with multilingual WordPress sites that use WPML.
• Block editor compatible: The add-on is compatible with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), so it sits comfortably alongside a modern page-building workflow.
