Product Description
Ever been building out a booking site with Bookly and hit a wall because you need to let people book multiple spots in one go? Like a yoga class, a workshop, or even just letting someone book 3 haircuts for their family all at once? That’s where the Bookly Addon Multiply Appointments swoops in. Instead of shelling out big bucks for the original license, you can snag this essential addon right here at GPL Guru for a fraction of the cost. Yeah, we’re talking serious savings.
So, how does this work? Simple: GPL licensing means we can legally redistribute premium plugins and themes. You get the exact same code, the same functionality, and you can use it on as many sites as you want – no limits! What you don’t get is direct support from the original developer or automatic updates through your WordPress dashboard. But honestly, for most devs, that’s not a deal-breaker. You’re savvy enough to handle updates manually, and for support, you’ve got communities, documentation, and frankly, us if you hit a snag.
This is huge for agencies and freelancers. Imagine building a dozen client sites that all need this ‘multiply appointments’ feature. Buying a license for each would be a nightmare. With our GPL version, you buy it once, and deploy it everywhere. It’s a no-brainer for scaling your development work without scaling your expenses.

To get this Bookly addon up and running, here’s what you’ll need:
WordPress Installation
A self-hosted WordPress site is essential, as this is a WordPress plugin addon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this addon legal?
Absolutely. The GNU General Public License (GPL) allows us to redistribute these products. When a developer releases a plugin or theme under GPL, they grant permission for anyone to use, modify, and redistribute their code. We’re just exercising that right, making premium tools more accessible.
How do I get updates?
We regularly update our library with the latest versions as soon as they’re released by the original developers. You’ll simply download the updated file from your GPL Guru account and manually upload it to your site. It’s a quick process, and we usually get updates out pretty fast after the originals drop.
What about support?
Since you’re not buying directly from the original developer, you won’t get official support from them. However, for general WordPress or plugin-specific questions, there are tons of online resources, forums, and communities. And for common issues, our own knowledge base and community might be able to help. For most developers, the savings far outweigh the need for direct developer support.
Can I use this on client sites?
Yes, definitely! That’s one of the biggest advantages. With GPL, you can use the plugin on as many personal or client websites as you want, without any extra licensing fees per site. It’s perfect for agencies and freelancers who build multiple sites and want to keep their costs down.
