Manual Bookings by store staff or admin

This feature would allow store staff/admin to manually create bookings via the Admin. The use case is when a customer calls or emails in or is in front of a store staff member but is not going to go online to make the booking themselves. Additionally, it would be great to be able to manually create a booking (without a Shopify order attached) Perhaps someone misses an event and you want to rebook at no charge, without having a sale and a discounted sale recorded etc.

    Hello! Is there a timeline for when we can expect this feature? 2023 yet?

      mnhs.myshopify.com: No, we don't have a timeline yet. Part of the reason it hasn't been a super high priority compared to other features is that it's easy for a merchant/staff person to do this in the Experiences Shopify POS app. But we know it's a high-demand feature.

      One of the challenges is that we have to be able to allow you take payment through the Shopify admin and there's a bit of work to make that seamless/intuitive.

      Mark Sandeno: Thanks for the update. Part of the issue for us is that much of our office staff works on a computer (not an ipad). So they don't have access to Shopify POS to make the sale.

    2021 initial request. I hope that feature is coming soon in 2023 :)

      Mika Georgelin: I know. It's about time that we busted this out. A bit more complicated that we'd like.

    This is really needed, do you have a date on when you are going to add this feature?

    Hi! Wondering if this manual booking is ready for use. I am looking at the app and do not see such a function anywhere.

    Mark Sandeno once Ilyas has proven himself I think this might be a good one to queue up for him. It's in our ninety.io plan for the quarter.

      Chip Keyes: Sounds good to me. It'll be a good test to see what he's capable of.

    We're planning to provide a solution here but are still working through the details of what that would look like.

    Love it :) especially because of Covid many classes are canceled and we need to book clients back in who have already paid. It’s such a huge process to do it through Shopify orders then we have to resolve a booking and assign them. This will save so much time!

    We have prototyped this and recorded a quick overview. Please take a look and comment on the solution for allowing admin bookings for any given experience. https://experiencesapp.wistia.com/medias/kax22v1cs1

      Mark Sandeno: Hello , we are still waiting for this option, there is no upgrade on the application, when will you make modifications?

      Laura NICOULAUD: Hello. I'm not sure when we're going to do it, unfortunately. Everyone who has commented/voted on this will be notified when we do, though.

    We have definitely heard your collective voices on this one. It's very clear that we need to build this feature. A question for any of you willing to answer in the comments: Do you want to be able to book someone with out taking payment (assume it's a pre-paid experience) and have the option to invoice them for later payment or collect money by other means?
