How to create an activity on the eola platform
We know how important it is to have a booking platform that makes it easy for you to set up activities, saving you time and effort. eola was developed with the goal to ensure a smooth management process for experience providers.
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to set up your activities on the platform.
Get started
1. Go to Products > Activities and select Create activity.
You then work through a few pages. You don’t have to finish everything in one go: you can come back and edit the activity at any time.
Activity details
2. Add the activity name, a description, and what customers need to know before they come. You can also set a meeting point. This is what customers read before they book, so make it clear and appealing.
Schedule
3. Set when the activity runs. Add a row for each start time, and choose whether it repeats every day, week or month, until an end date if you want one.
Pricing
4. Set the price: one price for everyone, or separate prices for adults and children. You can also add add-ons, like wetsuit hire, and group pricing discounts.
Resources and languages
5. If you use the Resources app, set how many people each resource can take, so you never take more bookings than you have space or kit for. If you use the Languages app, add the activity’s text in other languages.
Options
6. Set the minimum booking notice, choose whether customers can buy vouchers for this activity, and pick the disclaimer and question pack that apply.
7. Select Save and exit.
To change an activity later, go to Products > Activities and select Edit. If you run similar activities, use Duplicate to set up the next one quickly. Our help article Create an activity has more detail.
