Appointment Booking Calendar Views
|
Easily manage your bookings by blocking out your availability or setting specific dates and times that customers are allowed to book appointments. The WordPress Calendar Booking plugin automatically adjusts so customers view the calendar in their local time zone. Customers can then book appointments automatically, or after moderation by submitting a booking request form. |

Booking Form Example |
The appointment booking calendar form can be customized to include any additional information you may require by adding any number of supplemental fields. The calendar owner can then communicate with customers before approving their booking based on the information provided on the booking form. The appointment scheduling form is a handy way to ensure the admin has all the required information before accepting the calendar booking request. |
Easily Manage your WordPress Appointment Scheduling
|
The appointment booking calendar plugin integrates into any WordPress website using shortcodes. Our WordPress calendar booking software has a user friendly interface that eliminates the back and forth communication in appointment booking. View all booking requests on one dashboard, where you can then easily approve, decline, or cancel appointments. |

Schedule Zoom Meetings Instantly
Email message with Zoom link |
Create a meeting in your Zoom account for every new booking. Schedule up to 100 calls a day and send the direct link to the user that requested the booking. |
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. |

The WordPress booking calendar 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. Booking can also be automatically accepted if the calendar is set to accept online booking without moderation. |
