Booking Multiple Appointments is a brand new feature offered through TimeTap. Booking Multiple Appointments allows the client to book multiple appointments in one visit to the scheduler. For example, if a client would like to book multiple tutoring sessions over the next 2 weeks because they have a test coming up, they will be able open the scheduler, select multiple appointment dates and times over the next few days or weeks, and sign up for all of them in one visit instead of having to go through the scheduling flow multiple times.

Booking Multiple Appointments is a feature that can be turned on at the service or class level, or, if you want all services and classes to have this feature, it can be turned on at the account level. 

Please note that the Booking Multiple Appointments feature is only available in the new version of the scheduler. To learn more about how to switch your scheduler to the new version, please refer to our Scheduling Rules & Logic page.
