Bookly Custom Duration 2.8

Bookly Custom Duration is a WordPress plugin add-on for Bookly that lets clients choose how long their appointment lasts within your existing booking workflow. Instead of being limited to a single default service duration, visitors can reserve time that better matches their needs—whether that’s extending a meeting or booking extra room time. This flexibility reduces booking friction and helps align scheduling with real-world plans. The add-on is designed for straightforward setup, so you can offer a smoother, friendlier experience right where people make reservations.

By integrating with Bookly’s booking process, the selected duration becomes part of the appointment flow, helping clients feel in control while still keeping your scheduling organized. If your services vary by meeting length, Bookly Custom Duration makes it easier to offer that variety without redesigning your entire WordPress setup.
