Hello.
Please note, this forum is only about support of Booking Calendar Free version, please contact support of premium versions here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/contact/
You can test Booking Calendar live premium demos at this page https://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/ to be sure in functionality and do not have misunderstanding.
1) The ability to book for the specific times only possible in the Booking Calendar Business Small / Business Medium versions (and in higher versions for booking resources with capacity =1). Please note if you will make the booking for the specific timeslot, this timeslot become unavailable for the other visitors for that selected date in current specific calendar.
Please watch more in this video: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-calendar-video-timeslots/
You can configure the timeslots selections on the Booking > Settings > Form page. Please use the “shortcode generator” on the right side of that page for the correct generation of the shortcode.
You can use one”timerange” (timeslots) or “start time” and”end time” selections or”starttime” and “duration”of time selections shortcodes or even start time and end time entering shortcodes. Please read more about the booking form fields configuration here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-form-fields/
You can test the bookings for the specific time-slots in action on the live demo of Business Small version (which is configured by default for the bookings of specific time-slots) here: https://bs.wpbookingcalendar.com/ Other live demo you will need to reconfigure.
2) What do you mean by “places”, if its number of bookings per specific time-slot in the same calendar, so its does not possible in any versions of Booking Calendar. Sorry.
But you can have multiple calendars (places) and to have selections of these places (booking resources) at the top of the form, like in this example https://bm.wpbookingcalendar.com/select-resource/
The ability to have independent calendars possible in any paid versions of Booking Calendar.
