I’d like to enable bookings on my marketplace so that users can choose time slots when making a purchase. How can I activate this feature, and what steps are needed to set up schedules and booking flows?
Here’s how you can create and activate Bookings in Tradly:
1. Activate a Booking Template
- Go to Workspace > Templates. Tradly – Templates
- Find the Booking with Schedules template and duplicate it into your project.
- This ensures that your project has the booking functionality enabled.
In the last of this page, added few templates with some suggestions. Here is the latest one.
2. Create a Booking Listing
- Visit your website and click Add Listing.
- The system will ask you to create an account (this simulates how your clients will experience it).
- After adding basic listing info, you’ll see options to configure schedules.
3. Add & Customize Schedules
- In the listing setup, you can add:
- Simple schedules (fixed times)
- Custom schedules (different days/times, recurring slots, etc.)
- It’s highly customizable, so you can set it up exactly as needed.
4. Test the Buyer Flow
- Once the listing is created, go to the public listing page.
- From the buyer’s side, you’ll be able to see available schedules and book a slot.
Troubleshooting:
-
If you don’t see any schedule on the checkout page, it may be because:
- You didn’t duplicate the correct booking template.
- Or, you haven’t added the Schedules Block in the editor.
- Add schedules to appear on the Listing Detail Page, go to Editor > Listing Detail Page and add the block there too.
To fix this:
- Go to Editor > Checkout and add the Schedules Block.
5. Notifications
- Once a booking is confirmed:
- The seller (your client) will receive an email about the booking.
- The buyer will get a booking confirmation email and can view the booking details under Orders in their account.
6. Premium Feature (Optional)
- There’s also an advanced Ticketing feature available:
- Issue digital tickets for bookings.
- Ticket verification page.
- Collect additional attendee details during booking.
With these steps, you’ll have a full booking flow set up — from creating schedules, to buyer booking, to email confirmations.
SOME EXAMPLES
Healthcare Booking example.

Fitness booking : A simple booking without schedules
if you don’t want any schedules. but rather just booking. This might be good. It has many beautifully designed components in home page. And a big card to showcase especially when you have few services and want to show premium/highlight. (Use high res pictures for good impression)
