What to look for in a booking plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When looking for a plugin to handle appointments and reservations, check for three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A straightforward front-end<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look for a plugin that makes it easy to add a simple calendar or a reservation form to your website. This will allow your customers to do the work of making and editing their reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check that it looks great and provides full functionality on both desktops and mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A customizable backend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to be sure you can easily customize the booking system to fit your business needs. This includes setting working days and hours, showing available time slots, and blocking vacation days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for features like the ability to filter, search for, confirm, and cancel bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you run a business that has more than one service provider (such as a salon with multiple stylists), look for a plugin that allows users to set their own calendars and manage reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integration with other software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Email confirmations, reminders, and automatic Google Calendar holds will ensure neither customers nor service providers forget an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to charge a reservation fee, be sure your booking plugin integrates with your payment gateway of choice, such as PayPal or Stripe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure all your customers can navigate the booking process by translating it into their language with WPML<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
