Step-by-Step Industry Guides
Setting up a booking site for your industry takes just a few steps: install WordPress, pick a compatible theme, install WPBookingly, configure WooCommerce (optional), add your services, publish the booking shortcode, and start accepting appointments. Detailed walkthroughs are available for:
Yes. The core WPBookingly plugin is completely free. WPBookingly Pro adds premium features such as Google Calendar sync, advanced staff management, PDF invoices, and SMS notifications for businesses that need a more advanced setup.
No. WPBookingly works with or without WooCommerce. Choose Custom/Native mode to run bookings, checkout, and customer accounts without WooCommerce, or choose WooCommerce mode to use WooCommerce’s checkout, taxes, coupons, gateways, and order management.
Use [service-booking post_id="123"] and replace 123 with your service’s post ID. The older [bookingplus] shortcode is obsolete and should not be used.
Current versions register the service post type and flush rewrite rules automatically on activation. If you upgraded from an older version, deactivate and reactivate WPBookingly, or go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes. If the issue persists, check your web server’s rewrite rules and file permissions.
In WooCommerce mode, WPBookingly uses any gateway enabled in WooCommerce, including Stripe and PayPal. In Custom/Native mode the Offline payment gateway is included free, so you can accept bookings and collect payment manually without WooCommerce; online Stripe and PayPal checkout in this mode requires WPBookingly Pro. Always test gateway credentials over HTTPS before going live.
Yes. Customers can view booking details, reorder a service, request cancellation, and reschedule eligible appointments from their account area. WooCommerce-mode bookings appear under WooCommerce My Account > Orders; Custom/Native bookings appear on the automatically created WPBookingly My Account page, or on any page using the [mpwpb-user-dashboard] shortcode.
Eligible bookings display cancellation and reschedule controls in the customer account area. Cancellation is submitted as a request and stays pending until an administrator approves it. Availability, ownership, and your configured lead-time policy are always verified on the server.
Yes, when recurring booking is enabled for a service. Customers can view the full series, edit eligible appointments, add a new appointment, and request cancellation of the entire series from their account.
The calendar calculates available dates and times using the service’s working days, operating hours, duration, capacity, holidays, staff availability, existing bookings, and any booking rules you’ve configured.
Yes. Each service can include its own pricing, schedule, availability, extra services, staff assignments, FAQs, and custom client input fields.
Yes. WPBookingly is built to work with any properly coded WordPress theme and popular page builders, and it’s fully translation-ready for multilingual sites.
