I needed an online booking system that would allow my healing clients to select their own time based on some odd hours that I work. I needed a coupon system (available in the next version but I got to be a beta tester thanks). I also wanted the ability to add further practitioners at a later time.

I got more than I bargained for and I couldn't be happier - really I couldn't be happier ! This is just a dream ! Everything is configurable - everything. This system allows me to choose my working hours which can be different everyday. The client selects the type of session they want and each session type has a different price - they can add coupons for discounts, it fires them off to paypal to pay! Paypal fires back the transaction ID into the booking. There are preconfigured and editable emails for every event I could ever want. There is even a Cron job for automatic reminders - I'd never set one up but the video tutorial made it so easy I'm probably over confident about my own abilities now! I'd put the link up here if I could because I'm REALLY pleased with 'my' efforts - looks very professional. Gee I'm clever, or rather the developer has made this so easy - I think I'm clever.

The pdf documentation is superb - lots of arrows and pictures making it idiot proof. There are plenty of screen dumps on the website so you can see what you getting before you buy, also some easy to follow videos. The user forum is for paid customers but anyone can read the forum.

It took me a full day to get it up and running but that's because I like to read and research everything before I get started to save having to redo everything later - but honestly if you have a little common sense and you're familiar with Joomla modules, you'll probably only need to glance at the pdf - which is fully linked from the menu (another god-send).

It doesn't allow people to multi book a series of dates, but I don't need that anyway.

Buy it - don't waste your time looking for freebies that don't work. I figure the registration fee is about 5 hours of my time and I could easily have spent 3 or 4 times that long looking and testing other free modules.
