I am a new owner of your system

carrsdigital.com/MyAppointment

As things go I am 99.99% impressed with your product. But as a Professional Photographer that runs a studio I have a few problems that have to be worked out for your system to help me grow my business.

1. In my business I offer more than 5 different services and each service might have up to 12 different options and when listed on one page, it is to say the least, extremely confusing.
            A.  How to implement the service page to where it is a category page.

Example:
                        Please select your service
            1. Event Photography
                        Text description

            2. Wedding Photography
                        Text description

            3. Graduate Portraits
                        Text description

So when a category is selected the system will then show the services of that select only.

    1. Some services will require more info than others
            So you must be able to create customed items that will only show for the service
            selected.

I currently require a Deposit before I book my time and my deposit is normally 50% of my fee.  So when a customer checks out there must be options like:

Pay a Deposit of $00.00 [Send Button] or Pay in Full $00.00 [Send Button]

I use Paypal,  but I want the option of my Send button not to be Paypal because they accept all major credit card not just Paypal.

I believe that any information that is presented to my customer I should have control in what the text should be and currently there is no way to configure text or messages.

Example I loved the login screen of 2.5 it was very informative, 3.1 is not user friendly you should be able to design the look.


This is the .1% that I need your help, input, coding, or cost on

Re: Options

Hello,
thank you very much for your feedback. I will try to make this "category" thing for services in the future updates.

With an option for a deposit, I will also think on it. By the way, if a client pays a 50% online via Paypal for example, how does he add the remaining 50%? At your office offline?

As for the visual customization, the software actually allows to change any text or layout. Yes I admit it now misses the docs on that, I promise soon there will be a comprehensive customization guide.

For example, we used the default Paypal button, although if you wish to change it please edit this file:

core\packages\client\appointments\cart\checkout\before\paypal\index.php

with some PHP code on top, there is the actual HTML with the Paypal form below, and you can insert your button or image there.

The layout of the login page is defined in this file:

core\hclib\application\packages\common\login\index.php

You can easily add the help text for your clients there.
