What it does
Scheduling by email or phone means a lot of back and forth before an appointment is ever set. This plugin moves that process onto your site. Clients open a calendar, see the time slots you have made available and pick one. You decide how long appointments run and which hours are open, and the booking form asks for the information your business needs before the visit.
It fits salons, professional offices and freelancers who take appointments. If you have several staff members, locations or service types, you can run separate calendars for each, and user roles let you control who can view, manage or create appointments. Email notifications handle confirmations, reminders and cancellations for clients and staff. The plugin also provides calendar feeds, and there is reporting for tracking bookings, cancellations and client data.
Best for
- Salons and personal service businesses taking appointments
- Professional offices with several staff calendars
- Freelancers who want clients to self-book online
