Add Guests – Enhancements

We’ve introduced new improvements to the

'Add Guests'

experience, giving you

more control

over how guests are handled during appointment bookings.

What’s New?

Payment Calculation Based on Attendee Count

You can now configure calendars to
automatically collect payment
based on the total number of attendees—this includes the primary booker and all added guests.
The payment
amount
will be
multiplied
by the total number of
attendees
and the booker will be charged accordingly via the booking widget.
This feature is ideal for group bookings or services
priced per person
.

Mandatory Guest Information

A new setting allows you to make

guest details mandatory

during the booking process. When enabled:

Users must add
at least one guest
to proceed with the booking.
The booking form will always collect Guest count or Guest name and email.

This ensures guest

information isn’t missed

—especially important for businesses like couple’s therapy, restaurant reservations, or group sessions, where at least one additional guest is expected.

How to Enable?

Go to Calendar
Settings
and click
Edit
Calendar.
Open the
Forms & Payment tab.
Under the Add Guests section, enable
Require Guests for Booking
to make at least one guest mandatory.
In the Payments section, enable
Collect payment for all attendees
to charge based on the total number of guests.

Why It Matters

These enhancements help:

Prevent
payment
confusion
by ensuring all attendees are accounted for.
Avoid missed guest entries
in industries where guests are core to the booking.
Reduce
support
tickets
and
friction
in multi-attendee scheduling.
Expand support for more
complex use cases
like events, family appointments, and shared services.
