WooCommerce Bookings – Available Date Drop Down Instead of Date Picker

Our client runs hundreds of courses, across more than 20 locations. I’ve had to set up the same course for every venue. They only have one available start date per month for each course and location. It would be great to have the option to display a drop down list of available dates, rather than a very empty calendar.

    For setups like WooCommerce Bookings where you’re managing hundreds of courses across multiple locations, the idea of replacing a calendar date picker with a dropdown list of available dates makes a lot of sense. When each course only has one start date per month per location, a dropdown would make the selection process much cleaner and reduce user confusion caused by empty or limited calendar views. This kind of improvement could significantly enhance user experience and booking efficiency for both customers and admins managing multiple schedules.

    Yes, it is possible to show available dates in a drop-down instead of the calendar picker in WooCommerce Bookings. You can achieve this by customizing the booking form with PHP or JavaScript. The idea is to hide the default date picker and create a drop-down that lists only the available booking dates. This improves user experience by allowing customers to quickly choose valid dates without browsing a full calendar. Many developers implement this through custom hooks or small UI modifications. https://enquirymedical.com/

    We have a couple clients that have around 6 events per each bookable product. There are 10 products. A date picker requires the customer to hunt through every month to find an available and not sold out date. There was a plugin in 12 years ago.
    This seems to be a basic need.
    Please consider! The old plugin codeis still on line but no updates and support. Tried it on an old site and it was perfect.
    Update it and I will be your first customer.

    Same. There is a lack of quality travel/event booking and registration plugins for WP/woo. We are migrating a travel site from Joomla to WP – if anyone is familiar with Joomdonation’s Joomla component and can recommend one with similar functionality in WP please do. Thanks

    Calendar with optional “list view” would do the trick too…

    I have been waiting for this feature for over 5 years. It is what has stopped me buying this plugin.

    Dropdown will be a great idea, our web site has sometimes 2 or 3 months in row without scheduled training… it is not nice to see the whole calendar empty. Or another solution will be if the calendar is display on the closest date available!! custom cabinets that are made to order for your property https://kirkscustomcabinetsinpomona.com/custom-kitchen-cabinets/

  21. Richard May says:

    My client typically runs single date events (themed evenings etc) which they want to promote in advance which means the calendar looks empty and the person has to scroll through an empty month to get to the date. Being able to just show the date in a drop down would be a bit improvement

    ‘I wish bookings was easier to modify. Of all the woocommerce plugins, this must be the worst – and the one where it’s most needed.

    Depends on the context. In my case (tour company) having the customer view the available dates on a calendar form helps them visualize their week and get organized. | https://www.kitchenremodeltacomawa.com
