WooCommerce Bookings

WooCommerce Bookings is the official WooCommerce extension that lets store owners sell appointments, reservations, rentals, or classes with bookable time or date slots. It supports fixed time slots or flexible ranges, group and individual pricing, and resources — staff, rooms, or equipment — each with its own availability to prevent double-booking. It syncs with Google Calendar and works with any WooCommerce payment gateway. It's a paid annual extension with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Bookings – overlapping durations

At the moment when you set the duration of a booking e.g. 1hr, the next booking is not available until 1hr later e.g. 10am, 11am etc. It would be great if the durations could overlap. e.g. start at 10am, 10.30am, 11am, but each booking being 1hr long. Combining this with resources would mean that customers could overlap, but the overall capacity wouldn’t be breached.

    I would also like this for two sites. I know there is sort of a workaround where you set the duration to be shorter in the backend and state the actual duration in the product description, but this only partly works.

    This is exactly what a travel agency needs for certain activities, like a zipline operator. They can have different groups at different intervals on the same parcours. Let’s say the duration is 3 hours. First group leaves at 8 am (until 11 am), second group leaves at 10 am (until 1 pm). At the moment, this is not possible. The system creates intervals of 3 hours, so the 10 am start time is not accepted. There are more real-life scenarios out there that need these types of availability rules.
