What it does
A directory listing tells visitors about a business, but they usually have to call or email to book a time. This add-on turns each listing into a place where customers can reserve a slot directly. It requires the Directorist plugin and works inside its listings, so a directory of salons, consultants, rental properties or event venues can take bookings without a separate scheduling tool. Listings show current availability, which helps prevent two customers from claiming the same slot.
Setup centers on forms and rules. You build booking forms that ask for the details your business needs, then set booking durations, buffer times, a daily booking limit and cancellation policies. Customers can pay through PayPal, Stripe or offline methods, and automatic email or SMS reminders go to both clients and service providers before an appointment. Site owners manage, view and edit all bookings from one dashboard, while customers can look back at their own booking history. Forms are responsive on phones and tablets, and the booking system can be offered in multiple languages.
Best for
- Directorist sites listing appointment-based services
- Directories of hotels, rentals or event venues
- Directory owners who want customers to book and pay online
