WooCommerce Bookings
| Developed by WooCommerceSave time and effort by letting customers book at their convenience
Let your customers book reservations, appointments or rentals on their own – no phone calls required. Save yourself time and fill up your calendar by letting your site do the work for you.
Let customers book classes, schedule appointments, or reserve items
Whatever options you want to offer to your customers, Bookings makes it possible:
- Define set options, like fixed time slots for a class, appointment or guided tour
- Let customers choose the times that work best by giving them the flexibility to book whatever range they need, like checking into a hotel
With either option, you can also block time off as un-bookable, leaving you time to take care of your other priorities and create buffers between bookings, to make sure the schedule works for you.
Get as specific as you want with your time slots—the extension allows for bookings in days, hours, even minutes.
Book one-on-one appointments or multi-person events
You can set the minimum and maximum number of participants: limit a booking to one-at-a-time for appointments or let multiple people reserve a class or tour.
Offer special pricing for groups, days, or individuals
Offer discounts for groups or people booking multiple slots, show lower prices for early birds, higher prices on weekends, or special prices for kids. Bookings lets you customize pricing any way you want.
Show availability in the customer’s time zone
If your services are online or if you’re shipping something to the customer, display your availability in the customer’s time zone so they book the time they really need. Whether bookings come from New York, New Mexico or New Zealand, they’ll be within the hours you set, so no surprise appointments!
It’s perfect for virtual classes, online appointments, or rentals that need to be delivered to the customer.
Require confirmation, offer free cancellations – it’s all up to you
Set up confirmations, allowing you time to review before making the booking official. Automatically send out reminders leading up to a booking to reduce no-shows, and set whether bookings can be cancelled.
Send reminders and reduce no-shows
Remind clients about their appointments with handy notification emails when a reservation is made, confirmed, and a day before the booking date.
If you’d like to do more, you can send a special reminder right from your site.
Never get double-booked
Avoid double bookings by assigning the needed resources to a particular booking. For example, if your 2:00 bride books a fitting and a stylist until 3:30, that stylist won’t appear available for the bride scheduling a fitting at 3:00. You’ll never have to worry about offering the same resource to two customers at the same time.
Manage your calendar, your way – including syncing with Google Calendar
Use the calendar view to see how your day or month is shaping up. Update existing bookings or availability, or filter to view specific services or resources.
Still have customers calling in to make bookings the old-fashioned way? Add them manually from the calendar while you’re on the phone.
Give your Bookings a boost
For a fully-customized experience, consider these add-ons other Woo Commerce customers use with Bookings.
- Take a deposit for a reservation with Deposits
- Use AutomateWoo to help improve your customers experience, decrease cancellations, or even upsell customers after they make bookings with automated booking confirmation or completion emails.
- Power up reminder emails with Follow-Ups
- Sell more bookings by presenting a calendar or schedule of available slots in a page or post with Bookings Availability.
- Try our free Accommodation Bookings add-on, or the Hotel theme, if you have a hotel or B&B
- Allow service providers to submit and manage offerings themselves using Product Vendors
- Offer add-ons for services, such as an oil treatment with a massage, or limited edition merchandise with a group booking for a baseball field, using Product Add-Ons.

Amazing product, very deeply thought through, with very powerful use cases where it can help and I would emphasise that no other solution would provide even 70% coverage. We’ve used it for setting up deliveries, appointment reservations, bookings and even ticket sales. It has areas of improvement for sure, but the previous reviews do not do it justice. Here are a couple of features that need to be pointed out for the solution architects and the developers out there:
1) bookings can be manually created, without assigning a user or order; an interesting use case of this feature is migrating the bookings from another system, e.g. another plugin or Eventbrite
2) time slots can be set up basically at any time desired (not only regular intervals); the availability matrix is amazing and incredibly flexible
3) it is possible to use one resource for different booking products (e.g. selling for the same event regular tickets and discounted tickets for partners)
4) there is a rather powerful booking calendar in the backend which serves as a great booking dashboard
5) the automation is pretty great and seamless – bookings are automatically removed from cart after the timeout, cancelled orders automatically cancel the bookings as well
6) there are plenty of options to adjust the price based on the duration, resources and persons, which makes it easy to provide flexibility for the customers
7) there is a decent amount of overrides for the templates, documentation is pretty good and there is a good toolset of functions that can be used to create custom functionality.
Overall, I’d say the plugin is well worth its cost and the support has been very responsive during my interactions with them (probably the best support among WooCommerce plugins).

Plugin is good but pretty limited as is compatibility with other WC plugins. The support for the annual price of $250 p.a. is quite disappointing. The documentation is lighter than for the free woocommerce plugin and any more complex question you have, even if just for the same level of documentation as for the FREE WooCommerce core plugin, is stamped as ‘customization’ and you’ll mostly get nowhere. You can’t even put the Booking ID into an email subject without hiring a developer.
If I had to start over I’d take another Bookings plugin – perhaps Microsoft.

we had an excellent experience setting up and customizing this plugin. We built a site that allows users to book the rental of RV vehicles. We are professional WordPress developers (helloari.com) so that is our perspective.

Hello there,
Thank you for your review of WooCommerce Bookings.
I understand that you encountered issues with the theme compatibility.
As you probably know, there are thousands of WordPress themes that anyone can use on their website. Making sure that all of them are compatible with WooCommerce Bookings or any other of our plugins, including WooCommerce, or even fixing them as they come, is a massive task that we are not able to perform.
It is in the interest of the theme developer to make their theme compatible with major plugins, like WooCommerce, or other popular plugins that can be found on WordPress.org and other platforms.
Their support team is much better trained than ours in helping with conflicts and issues pertaining to their own theme, so they are in the best position to help you. We do this indeed with any of our themes. If you would have had issues with WooCommerce Bookings and any of our themes, our support team would have been able to help you further since they are trained with our products and we don’t expect others to know them better than us.
We recommend contacting your theme author if you need further help with fixing the theme compatibility with WooCommerce Bookings, and we hope you understand why we are not able to help you further.

Sad. For the 249.00 price tag, it does not follow basic booking standards. I know they are trying to appease everyone, but logic is not the strong point of this plugin. Now you can’t even use the admin calendar to look up bookings. The booking disappears when clicked and they have been aware of this for over 2 months.
