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.

    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. http://www.atticinsulationsilverspring.com/

    Sir, Would this be better for a customer to choose the starting date / end date ?

  14. Paul says:

    Yes! This should be a built-in available feature!

    I really need this too! My client has a mix of bookable products. Some are numerous through a each day of the month, others are only a few per year. A calendar really makes no sense for the latter.

    They have requested a drop-down solution so I got as far as using this:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-bookings-dropdown/

    This works perfectly for the products that can only be booked by date but is no good when you add timeslots.

    ‘+1 Having the choice of Drop-Down datepickers (including the option to enter dates manually) should be available out of the box.

Anyone have to know how to do? Thanks

    We also need fixed duration dates, for example a tour that starts on a specific date for x number of days – so the user simply needs to select the start date to see how many spaces are available (or perhaps there is no actual date selection even needed as it simply starts on a given date for za fixed number of days.

    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!!

    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. Having said that I do use a plugin with google calendar that shows upcoming tours as a list but only on the sidebar
