WooCommerce Bookings Settings

In this document we outline the different menu items added by, as well as the settings available in, the WooCommerce Bookings extension.

Once the WooCommerce Bookings extension is installed and activated on your site, you will see a Bookings menu item in the sidebar with the following sub-menu options. Use the links below to learn more about each admin page added by WooCommerce Bookings:

• All Bookings – Here is where you can review, manage, and edit bookings made on your store
• Resources – Manage the resources associated with your bookable products here.
• Add Product – Access templates to create a bookable product, or start with a blank bookable product.
• Add Booking – Here you can manually add a booking for a customer or guest from the backend.
• Calendar – The calendar view allows you to view booked time slots, and manage bookings arranged by the date of each booking.
• Send Notification – Here you can customize and send an email notification to all customers who have a future booking for a particular booking product.
• Settings – Configure bookings specific settings for your shop.

Click the Bookings >Settings link in your site’s admin area to configure additional options for:

• Store Availability
• Timezones
• Calendar Connection
• Accommodation (If the free Accommodation Bookings extension is enabled)

The Store Availability settings govern the general availability of all your bookable products or services within your store. They provide you with the capability to establish the times when customers can make bookings for your products or services. Visit our Store Availability guide to configure these settings.

The Timezones settings control how Bookings showcases the timezone to customers. Visit our Timezones guide for help with configuring these settings.

WooCommerce Bookings enables one-way or two-way sync with Google Calendar. You need a Google account to use this functionality.

To set up your site’s sync with Google Calendar, read the following documentation: Google Calendar Integration.

To set up your site’s sync with a custom Google Calendar, read the following documentation: Custom Google Calendar Integration.

By default, Bookings only supports bookings by days. The free WooCommerce Accommodation Bookings add-on allows the booking duration to be specified as “number of nights”.

Once you have activated the free WooCommerce Accommodation Bookings extension, an additional setting is provided to set site-wide check-in and check-out times.

Site-wide check-in and check-out times are displayed to the user when making new bookings, or reviewing past bookings.

To set sitewide checkout times:

1. Navigate to WordPress Admin > Bookings > Settings > Accommodation
2. Enter your store’s global Check-in and Check-out times.
3. Click on the Save changes button.
