What happens when a new booking appointment is received?
When a customer submits their booking, the calendar moderator receives an email that includes all the information the customer has submitted on the booking request form to make reservations.
Managing your Booking Request
The online booking moderator can then approve, reject or communicate directly with the customer about the booking.
All communication uses a discussion form which is attached to the specific appointment, so both calendar moderator and customer can track the conversation until it is approved or declined.

How do I get an appointment scheduler to show up on my page?
You can embed a simple shortcode which will output the calendar on any post or page. You can also pre-define a booking form for this calendar. Once user tries to book a slot on this calendar your booking form will hover over the calendar.
Does the plugin support multiple calendars?
Yes. You can define an unlimited number of calendars. Each calendar can have it’s own unique booking form, availability timeframe and meeting duration. There are other parameters you can set for each individual calendar.
Can the admin manually add bookings?
Yes. Admin can add booking from the plugin backend. This adds the ability to support customer bookings made by the admin. When manually adding bookings all notification will be sent to both admin and user ensuring the user is also notified about the meeting.
What type of fields can I include in the booking form
The booking form is totally customizable. You can include as many fields as you need, define which are mandatory and also add a label and description for each. The form generator supports input, textarea checkbox and radio buttons. All can be added and moved by a drag and drop interface.
Does this plugin support appointment payment
Yes. You can restrict bookings until payment is made by the customer. You can define for each calendar how much should be charged per booking.
Can appointments be automatically approved without moderation?
Yes. Our plugin supports both automatic and moderated booking. You can define which behaviour you would prefer for each calendar. When calendar does not have moderated booking the user will receive a confirmation immediately after completing the booking form.
If clients must input payment information at the end of the booking, does the payment go through immediately or can it be held until the booking is approved?
There are two options:
If booking is moderated then client will be asked to pay ONLY after moderation is confirmed therefore he will not add his credit card information when making the booking but only once booking is approved. When booking is approved an email will be sent to him to pay for booking and if he fails to to pay within set amount of time booking will be canceled.
If booking is not moderated then client will be required to pay immediately once making the booking.

The plugin is one of the best I ever used. You can tailor the calendar and its options to your needs and it has everything that you may want. They have a very responsive and helpful customer support and I'm a member here for 4 years, having tried over 50 plugins. 5 stars is absolutely not enough! I highly recommend it.
This super responsive plugin is a great option for customer support and requires almost no maintenance. The ability to create and manage multiple calendars is a life-changing option especially when you have business offices in multiple countries and time zones. Booking is so much easier for everyone with this plugin!
We use several calendars (beauty salons), each with their schedule. Not only functional, but the calendar looks pretty good too, and is responsive. Five starts
