Bookables (Event)

[Intro] In this lesson we’ll be discussing setting up the bookables for your app, in particular, event bookables. Let’s get started…

[Editor] To access the bookables section. Click on the Platfio editor, then click on bookables. You will be directed to the ‘Bookable Collections Editor’ page where you can manage and organize all your bookables for your app.

To add a new collection. Click on the plus icon to access the ‘Bookable Collection Editor’. Then, we add the Name. Then press on save.

Once you’ve created a collection, let’s add a new bookable. Click on the plus sign at the top right. Then, under the details tab, select the type of bookable, for this lesson we will pick Event.

Let’s name it Wellness Convention, and set the date to Saturday and the start time at one pm. Then let’s set the Duration to 300 minutes.

Next, on the tickets tab, we can add a General Ticket, and let’s say the price for $10 and you can set the capacity, for now let’s set it to 200, then click on the plus icon at the upper right to add the bookable.

Next, we can also add a VIP ticket, and let’s say for $30 and set the capacity to 50, then add.

Now that we have our bookable created, we’ll add it to navigation. Press the helper at the lower right corner and click on the Windows icon. You can then choose where to add the bookable. This time we will add it to the Left Hand Side Menu.

[Emulator] Next with our Emulator, let's test the Bookable from the user's perspective.

Open the left-hand side menu.

We will see that the bookable we have added is available.

Click on the bookable created, we can then select the type of ticket we want to order, let’s pick a General Ticket, then click on proceed.

We can then review the booking and add the card details. Let’s then click on Checkout.

A confirmation screen will show up once the booking is confirmed.

[Manager] Then as an app Manager, to check on the booking created, go to the Platfio Manager, then click on Bookings to be directed to the Bookings Manager.

Next click on the booking that we have just created. We can see here that there is one person who booked the event under a general ticket.

[Emulator] Let’s order another ticket and this time we’ll choose the VIP. So if we go back to the bookings Manager and click the booking, we can now see that there are two bookings, one for general and one for VIP.

[Outro] Thank you for watching!
