commerce_bat
Connects Drupal Commerce to BAT so you can sell rentals and timeslots with live availability calendars, capacity presets, and admin blockouts.
Features
- Adds a booking layer to Drupal Commerce using BAT (Booking and Availability Tools).
- Supports two modes: rentals (date ranges) and timeslots (lessons).
- Real‑time availability calendars on the add‑to‑cart form (FullCalendar or Flatpickr).
- Capacity presets (shared or separate) and shared capacity pools across variations.
- Admin blockout calendar to reserve inventory and see orders.
- Bulk order sync to rebuild BAT events when needed.
Use this module when you need a Commerce checkout for bookable inventory, plus a calendar‑driven UX for selecting dates or time slots.
I'm sure there were other ways to do the same thing this module does but it works for my needs.
Post-Installation
1. Enable Commerce BAT and its dependencies.
2. Go to `/admin/commerce/commerce-bat` (settings overview):
- Map variation types to rental or timeslot mode.
- Choose calendar plugins and defaults.
- Configure capacity defaults/presets.
3. Add/confirm the BAT Date/Time widget on the add‑to‑cart form display.
4. Create capacity presets (optional) at `/admin/commerce/commerce-bat/capacity-presets`.
5. Use the admin blockout calendar at `/admin/commerce/commerce-bat/blockout`.
6. If importing existing orders, run the bulk sync once.
Additional Requirements
- Drupal Commerce (commerce_product, commerce_order, commerce_cart, commerce_store, commerce_price).
- BAT modules: bat, bat_unit, bat_event.
- Core module: datetime_range.
- JS libraries: FullCalendar and Flatpickr (CDN fallback or local copies).
Recommended modules/libraries
- FullCalendar v6.1.11+(best UX for calendars and timeslots).
- Flatpickr v4.6.13+ (lighter date picker).
- Views (for custom order reporting).
Similar projects
- BAT alone provides booking entities but not Commerce checkout integration. For e.g You can look into BEE(Bookable Entities Everywhere)
- Commerce booking modules exist, but this module focuses on calendar UX, shared capacity pools, and admin blockouts tightly integrated with Commerce.
