Convert your classifieds into a booking system, events calendar, or online reservation CMS! The booking plugin provides a wide variety of booking & calendar options

Booking, events calendar, online reservation form​

The plugin allows sellers to define one or more booking options on their listings. There are 3 basic booking types:

• TIME – booking offers based on time slots (multiple values/options per day)
• DATE – booking offers based on single-day selection (1 value/option per day)
• RANGE – booking offers based on the selection of date range

Each type brings different features, especially to the availability calendar and the way how data are shown there, but also how reservations are created.
Customers can create reservations on the selected booking options.

Booking option types​

“TIME” BOOKING TYPE​

The objective of this type is, that when the customer is creating a reservation/or checking the availability calendar, after selecting “day”, the modal box is shown with a list of time slots for that day and their availability, so each slot can have different availability

“DATE” BOOKING TYPE​

The objective of this type is, that customers can check only 1 day from the calendar. When viewing availability, daily availability is shown and each day can have different availability (based on existing reservations and availability set by the seller).

“RANGE” BOOKING TYPE​

The objective of this type is, that customers can select one or more days as the range. Availability is shown in the same way as for the “DATE” type, until the “Accommodation type” is disabled.
Admin can also set what is maximum duration/range for reservation, i.e. it can be 15 or 30 days that the user can select as the maximum.

When the listing owner creates a reservation, there is an option for “Bookout reservation”. This is considered an administrative reservation that target is lower availability on particular dates. For such reservations, no notification emails are sent, user data is disabled and the price is hidden.
