2-way Google Calendar sync
Setting base availability within the extension is a good start, but many of us schedule our time using Google Calendar (for both personal and professional time commitments) so Bookings isn’t an option unless it can limit availability based on real-time openings.
For the same reason, it’s important that new appointments are also saved to Google Calendar. Thanks to their API and ubiquity, most scheduling and calendar-extension-type apps play with Google Calendar, so it serves as a central clearing house for all things scheduling; it needs to be current.
I’m not going into a lot of detail here, but several folks have provided more information and use cases:

Any news on this? Does anyone even pay any attention to this?
Never fear, ninjas are here. I’m going to start working on this myself
https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-calendar-woocommerce-bookings-two-way-sync/
Complete! I’ll fix up the readme and make any bug fixes you find, please use the support forum on WordPress to ensure everyone benefits from the same things you need! Here we go!
Wow, this is timely just what I was looking for. Thanks ninjas!
Is there any formal professional solution to this? The ninjas solution doesn’t work and it’s not documented, also the plugin seems incomplete.
‘+1. Still eagerly waiting for this feature 🙂
For the moment it goes one way : WordPress to Google Calendar…
Will it get Google calendar to WordPress synchronization?
I’m happy to contribute time to assist developing this feature
‘IMPORTANT :
2 way sync with Google Calendar, but for each ressource separately ! ===> Staff calendar management !
Like Bookly.
And it would be perfect if we can set a buffer !
Like :
– 11am from 11:30 I’ve something on my Google Calendar,
– I set 1hour as buffer,
– A client can book my service, for example, from 9 to 10am… but not from 9:30 to 10:30, because the last 30min are “inside” the buffer !
Setting a buffer before and after.
Thanks
In the room booking industry each room (product or bookable resource) has its own calendar. You then import and export each calendar to places like airbnb.com, etc. and that is how rooms are synced. Having everything lumped altogether in one calendar is not plausible. Generally, just the existence of any kind of appointment in that time slot (doesn’t need to have any order info) will cause all of the other places the feed goes to mark that resource (as it has it’s own calendar) as unavailable. Additionally, adding in an option to book an all day as a particular range of hours say 11am that day to 10am the next day would allow the resource to be understood by everyone out there.
I want to jump on the ‘calendar for each bookable product’ bandwagon. I understand the complexity involved, but it would be a night and day offering.
I need the Bookings extension to stay in sync with my Google calendar and make times unavailable to be booked when I add an appointment to my Google calendar. I currently use Setster and it does this by checking my Google Calendar every 15 minutes for new appointments I may have added. Not having this in the Bookings extension is the only thing that’s preventing me from buying it and making the switch.
Why is this not implemented yet, It’s been over 18 months and still under review?
This is a clear necessity for any booking system!
Also I’d like to point out that this is a $250 plugin: We shouldn’t have to rely on third parties to sort out your flawed build logic and to have ignored this for nearly two years is ridiculous.
Yes please! I need this feature.
How is going with this review?
This is a much needed feature!
‘Hi guys there.
I have a developer (a very good one) who is available to create the needed two-ways sync as a brand new Woocommerce extension that will work with Bookings.
Specifications as follows:
– the extension will create a new WP role: resources, and resources you add to bookable products will be linkable to these WP accounts
– a user given this role will have the privilege to edit his profile as a resource: his availability, in particular. He will also have the ability to authorize Google to sync his calendar with the extension.
– the extension will now check if the resource is available in real-time.
This is perfect for who uses personnel to provide services, like personal trainers, therapysts, tourist guides, etc, especially when they are freelance
It will also be usable for who has rooms or apartments as resources, especially when they’re for rent on other platforms (airbnb, booking, etc)
The ETA for this project is about 1 month, the developer is great, I used his services multiple times.
My plan is to share this extension with Woocommerce developers, hoping they maintain it (and give me a free license)
The only problem is the guy asks for € 800 to develop the extension, and it is way out of budget for me. If someone is interested in contributing, we can set up a pool and have this thing sorted, finally.
Can anyone confirm if this works here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-calendar-woocommerce-bookings-two-way-sync/
I really need this also.
Need it
Any news on this update?
How long has this feature been listed as ‘Under Review?’
‘I would really appreciate this as well. I have several sites in development that need this. Also spending USD299 on this plugin would make this an absolute to-have.
@Anonymous: The comment you posted on January 15, 2016: did it take off? Otherwise I would love to contribute.
However it should be part of the plugin, given the price…
Without solution I’ll have to abandon woocommerce and woo commerce booking…
defintely needed!!!!
For any accommodation solution the ability to sync an availability calendar with other ical calendars, whether Google or Airbnb, is essential in my view.
This is a very needed and necessary extension for accommodation bookings… I hope this happens soon.
Thanks!
It would be important to be able to select what entities are booked against a specific calender: single products/bookings, resources, all vendor bookings when a Vendor extension is used.
It would be really helpful if you could choose what information to show.
I’m frankly puzzled, almost incredulous, that this functionality a) has not been included as a baseline feature, so essential is it to so many people and b) appears not to have received any attention in two years. WooCommerce appear to be hiding under the duvet and pretending the 583 requests for it do not exist. Could not someone from Woo at least reply to the thread and say, ‘ooh, it might be difficult’ or ‘nah, we just don’t care’?
this is an absolutely necessary function, and with out this it almost makes this plugin useless
I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO PRINT MY BOOKING FROM THE CALENDAR
This is the one thing why I’m doubting to switch to another solution that has this function already available. This functions is a necessity!
Seems like it is possible.
https://www.tychesoftwares.com/starters-guide-syncing-bookings-google-calendar-woocommerce/
its a must have….
so much money and this product cannot use this ???? why????
you have to do this because:
if you create two bookabl products – books a product on a day (like a fotoshooting) book at the other product a wedding – it does not see that there is a booking in another product for this time
you have to build it in!!!!
Could you not do 2 way sync the way Birchpress does?
https://www.birchpress.com/support/documentation/scheduler/calendar-sync
What about this? it´s a essential feature.
This is an absolute must have. Currently we’re working on a project that requires us to integrate on a POS system. Booking resources needs to go both ways in order for this to work properly. Especially since you can’t use Woo webhooks to output resources booked.
The only other choice that remains is using Google Calendar which doesn’t sync resources both ways.
Does this allow calendar sync with major booking sites like booking.com and airbnb?
we need this soon
When will this happen?
We need this ASAP.
Come on, make this happen. This is a crucial feature.
Very much needed. Please make this feature happen soon.
Yes, need this please!!
Dear people
I think that all those who are trying to equip your web page with the hotel apartments and other accommodation to advertise on some of the channels, such as booking.com or airbnb.com.
Would not it be logical to have a synchronization with one of these channels?
You know for yourself that the sale takes place in real time and such an option would be very useful to all of us. As you have this option, I immediately buy your upgrade
Dear friends,
I want to buy this extension.
I need it and I think it’s also necessary for other people, option such as channel manager.
We are dealing with a private smile reservation. We have over 30 units and all of our units are posted on various sales channels like booking.com airbnb and others. All of our calendars are synchronized in real time. If a guest book at booking.com, the date is automatically closed on airbnb and other sales channels.
Whether this option exists in your extension i do not think google calendar synchronization?
Booking or Airbnb allows you to have a link (exempl LINK : https://hr.airbnb.com/calendar/ical/18310491.ics?s=3f13bbed781e864b9d0a8215037c5907 that is only added to the caleder and performed a bidirectional synchronization date.
IS this possibel.
Best regards
Idea was shared from 2014, planned on Nov 2017, so when will it done? If you have this feature, I will buy your extension immediately!
I would love to see two way sync integration. thank you for your time.
Hi, in this business it’s used widely. Without Ical 2-way Calendar sync this beautifull software is useless for us. We do try to book everywhere we can. Places like Airbnb uses Ical links.
Hope you guys can make it soon,
Also, we must be able to add as mush Ical link per property a we need
Dear Team Woocomerce, this is a must feature that is you don’t do it soon other will do it sooner for wordpress users.. as a business opinion you are missing here large sales.. I am from the Caribbean region where we as website developers can sale your solution to literally half of the local business in each the Island… specially if you sync with ical that can sync with viator ( from TripAdvisor) and other booking vendors.. keep me posted if you have this option here and you can contact me if needed.
Please expedite
Where are we at on this VITAL Functionality!?
I agree… This feature is vital as most all other booking plugins already have this feature integrated into their product
We really need this integrated. Why wouldn’t this be a priority? I bought the plug-in without checking this and here we are asking should I pay for another plug-in or should I wait. It’s vital for business.
There is a plug-in on theme forest ? But how many plugs should I have on my system and why should I pay an extra 70 USD for this?
I switched everything over to you guys so I can have everything integrated with woocommerce. I have dropped too much money on all your plugins. Really dissapointed.
We only really need to start in the right direction. Adding a 2 way sync so that that time slot is booked off when someone sends a meeting request or if you yourself want to block off the time.
It doesn’t sync so we have to go in to 2 calendars every time. Like seriously waste of time.
This is definitely needed.
Any updates? I need this like, last month.
Yes – same here – it says “planned” but that was in Nov 2017. Could we get an update pls?
I am waiting for this update and my client wont purchase this without it. Could I have an indication of when this might be developed by?
Any Idea of the release date?
Yes please! This would be a great feature! We want to use Google Calendar along with Bookings /sync thanks!
Will be buying Bookings as soon as this becomes a feature
Have purchased bookings believing this was a feature very disappointed it is not yet.
When is the release due on this?
Hey all i have great news for you the plugin you are requesting is already in the codecanyon market just take a look at it https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-bookings-google-calendar-sync/20499027
Thank me later go and check it out.
Hi, please can you at least give us an ETA on this? I have a bookings site that this feature is vital for, and it’s just been on PLANNED for over a year. I’m going to have to move away from Woocommerce completely and use Bookly.
When this will be done ??
Hello, I just tested the operation “2-ways”; it’s interesting but not enough. I think it would be interesting to have the following functioning: I have 2 resources in “booking”, John and Marta; John and Marta each have a Google Calendar. I wish that John blocks 1 hour in Google Calendar and that this time is blocked in “Booking”. Conversely, I want John to block a slot in “Booking” and that slot is automatically blocked in Google Calendar. Maybe it already exists but I have not found in “booking” and yet it seems to be a minumum in terms of level of synchronization. Thank you for your help to advance on this operation …
