What it does
Taking bookings by phone or email means juggling calendars, chasing payments and reminding clients by hand. This plugin moves that work onto your website. You set up your services, staff members and availability, and customers pick an open time through a booking form you can tailor to collect the details you need. Payments can be taken at the same time through gateways such as PayPal and Stripe, so the appointment and the payment arrive together.
It suits many kinds of businesses, from dental clinics and spas to car rental services. Automated emails handle confirmations, reminders and follow-ups, which helps cut down on no-shows. Schedules can sync with Google Calendar and other calendar apps, and the booking pages respond to mobile screens. Multi-language and multi-currency support helps if you serve customers in different regions, and built-in reports show booking trends over time. A search shortcode and seasonal timeslot settings add more control over how availability is shown.
Best for
