best way to set up membership – appt+ – marketpress

want to set up a paid online math tutoring site. will be using tutorbox api for whiteboard. Tutorbox creates 1 board per tutor which url can be emailed with appt confirmations and login info.

want to offer 3 levels of tutoring-

1. basic math

2. intermediate math

3. advanced math

will have three services for each level of instruction:

1. one hour (basic/int/adv)

2. two hour (basic/int/adv)

3. three hour (basic/int/adv)

want flow to be:

1. select level of tutoring

2. create login

3. select service (1h/2h/3h)

4. pay for service

5. schedule

Wondering what plugins together I would need to use to setup this functionality.

fairly new to membership/appts so not entirely sure if there is an easier solution to what I am trying to do.

Thanks for your assistance.

hiya

i don't know how tutor box works so i can't comment on that.

i'm not entirely sure what content you are wanting to protect or offer per plan or whether you need membership plugin at this stage.

with membership plugin, you can restrict access to content based on access rules which you can assign to a subscription plan.

so for each tutoring level you could create a subscription plan

so you have 3 levels, so you create 3 access rules.

1. basic math

2. intermediate math

3. advanced math

then you assign the rules to each subscription plan.

your members then subscribe to the plan they want.

Are you wanting your members to pay a subscription or have free subscription & pay for each appointment individually?

with appointments you would need to set up a service for each.

so in total you would need to create 9 services (screenshot 1)

service 1 = 1hr (basic)

service 2 = 1hr (intermediate)

service 3 = 1hr (advanced)

service 4 = 2hr (basic)

service 5 = 2hr (intermediate)

service 6 = 2hr (advanced)

service 7 = 3hr (basic)

service 8 = 3hr (intermediate)

service 9 = 3hr (advanced)

then add your service providers adding each service to each. (screenshot 2)

set your working hours per provider (screenshot 3)

then setup your general settings in the general tab. (payment settings etc.

you should then have a page in dashboard pages called make-an-appointment

you can use the shortcodes available to create your appointment page.

so something like
```
[app_my_appointments]

[app_services] [app_service_providers]

[app_monthly_schedule][app_monthly_schedule add=&quot;1&quot;]

[app_pagination step=&quot;2&quot; month=&quot;1&quot;]

[app_login]

[app_confirmation]

[app_paypal]
```
there's a usage guide here with more details.
