Hire Amelia Developers

Amelia is a premium WordPress booking plugin developed by TMS (wpamelia.com). It is designed for service businesses that need a polished, professional booking interface – the client-facing booking form is one of the most visually refined in the WordPress booking plugin market. Amelia handles appointments (one-to-one service bookings), events (group bookings with a fixed capacity), and packages (bundles of multiple appointments sold together).

Amelia’s architecture is built around employees, services, locations, and time slots. Each employee has configurable working hours, days off, and service assignments. The system handles scheduling logic – available slots, buffer time between appointments, and capacity limits – without requiring manual management. Clients book through a front-end form that guides them through service selection, employee selection (optional), date/time selection, and payment.

Payment processing is built into Amelia for Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, and Razorpay, as well as WooCommerce for sites already using WooCommerce as the payment layer. Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar two-way sync is included in higher Amelia licence tiers. How To Set Up Amelia Booking Plugin.

Amelia development work typically involves:

• Setting up Amelia for a service business – employees, services, locations, working hours, and the booking form configuration.
• Connecting Amelia to a payment gateway and configuring deposit or full-payment booking flows.
• Customising the Amelia booking form styling to match the site’s brand beyond the built-in colour and font options.
• Setting up Amelia Events for group workshops, classes, or webinars with fixed capacity and event-specific registration flows.
• Configuring Packages – bundles of appointments sold together – for businesses that offer session packages (e.g., 10 personal training sessions).
• Integrating Amelia with Zoom or Google Meet for automatic online meeting link generation on booking confirmation.

Amelia is newer than Bookly and has a more opinionated design – the front-end experience is more polished but is also less flexible to customise at a code level. Look for developers who have worked specifically with Amelia rather than just general booking plugin experience.

For styling customisation, ask how they approach Amelia CSS overrides. Amelia uses scoped CSS and a customisation panel for colour and font settings. Deeper styling changes require CSS that targets Amelia’s specific class names, which change between versions. A developer who has done Amelia styling work knows which selectors are stable and which to avoid.

For complex setups with multiple locations and employees, ask whether they have built Amelia configurations at that scale. Amelia’s scheduling logic handles complexity well, but the configuration surface is large and the order in which settings are configured matters.

Common Amelia problems: Amelia Vs Bookly Vs Calendly WordPress Comparison.

• No available time slots displaying – the employee has no working hours set for the selected day, the service is not assigned to the employee, or the time zone in Amelia Settings does not match the server. Check each in sequence.
• Booking confirmation email not arriving – email delivery is broken. Amelia sends notifications via wp_mail() – install and configure an SMTP plugin. Also check that the notification template for the specific service is enabled in Amelia > Notifications.
• Payment not processing – gateway credentials are incorrect, or the gateway is in test mode while the site is live. Check the gateway configuration in Amelia > Settings > Payments.
• Zoom link not generating – the Zoom integration OAuth token has expired. Re-authenticate the Zoom connection in Amelia > Settings > Integrations.
• Booking form not displaying on the page – the Amelia shortcode or block is not added to the page, or a JavaScript conflict is preventing the booking form from rendering. Check the browser console for errors.

Amelia releases regular updates. Major version updates sometimes change the booking form’s CSS structure, which can break custom CSS overrides. Testing Amelia updates on staging before applying to production is important for sites with custom styling.

The Google Calendar and Zoom OAuth connections need to be monitored – OAuth tokens expire and need to be re-authenticated periodically. If the Google Calendar sync stops working, an expired token is the most likely cause.

Booking and appointment records accumulate over time. Amelia stores all historical bookings in its own database tables. Archiving or exporting old booking data periodically keeps the admin calendar views performant.

When posting an Amelia project on Codeable, describe the booking model completely: how many employees and services, whether you need events (group bookings) or packages in addition to appointments, whether online payment is required, and what calendar or video conferencing integrations you need. Amelia is configurable enough that two “appointment booking” projects can be very different in complexity.

For styling customisation, provide design references – screenshots or a style guide – so the developer can assess how far the design departs from Amelia’s default appearance and estimate the CSS work accordingly.
