WordPress Appointment Booking Plugin by MotoPress: Key Highlights
Appointment scheduling & booking plugin optimized for quick and easy online reservations.
For Beauty Salons, Medical Centers & Educators
We created this WordPress appointments plugin for all sorts of appointment-based businesses, including:
- Barbershops, hairdressers, and beauty salons
- Tutoring businesses and online classes
- Healthcare & medical centers
- Sports institutions, and fitness instructors.
Accept Payments Online or On-site
Appointments can be confirmed automatically upon booking submission, or you may opt for requesting clients to pay online.
Our scheduler plugin allows you to collect payments on your site via PayPal, Stripe, turn on Direct Bank Transfer, Square, or allow clients to choose to pay on-site. Stripe allows you to also accept payments via Bancontact, iDEAL, Giropay, SEPA Direct Debit, and SOFORT, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link.
Add More Payment Gateways with WooCommerce
If you need more than the default range of payment gateways, WooCommerce is the most powerful plugin that can help you add them in clicks. We offer smooth integration with this plugin via the custom-crafted Appointment Booking WooCommerce Payments addon.
Note: It’s a premium extension that is not included in the price of the Appointment Booking plugin.
Step-by-step Booking Wizard for Clients
Allow clients to book directly on your site! They’ll see available slots and book them right away, optionally choosing an assistant with the preferred skills/ their favorite service provider.
It’s a straightforward step-by-step process when a client selects a service, a staff member, then a date and submits a booking, not leaving the same page! A sleek, mobile-optimized booking form design delivers truly user-friendly and quick experiences for users on any device.
Appointment Reminders & Notifications
Send automated reminders and other notifications before and after the appointment. Simply designate the sending time, specify recipients and make up an email template.
You can send service-wise emails to customers as well as staff members or specific addresses.
Notifications of Status Changes
Immediate email notifications associated with bookings and respective automated booking status changes will help you reduce the client waiting time, thus managing booking much faster.
The MotoPress WordPress scheduler plugin allows you to tweak content and style of both admin and customer email notifications.
SMS Notifications
Reach out to your staff, customers, admins, or any phone number more easily with SMS.
Enable automated SMS notifications upon appointment confirmation, cancelation or payment completion. Set up micro-targeted marketing with any custom SMS alerts or notifications at any time before or after appointments.
Note: This is a premium Twilio SMS extension that is not included in the price of the Appointment Booking plugin.
Customer Accounts
Enable recurring customers to log into their personal accounts on your website and schedule appointments much faster. Provide them with more tools to view all their past and future bookings, including details such as cost and appointment time.
You can either automatically create accounts for all customers at checkout or let them decide if they want to create an account on your website.
Integration with Google Analytics
This plugin easily integrates with Google Analytics 4 to help you track ecommerce data sent through the booking widget!
Measure the number of bookings made, identify the most viewed services, and gain insights into customer behavior. Get data-driven insights and create a better service conversion strategy.
Note: This is a premium Google Analytics extension that is not included in the price of the Appointment Booking plugin.

- Create bookable services of any duration
- Add buffer times to block extra time before and after actual appointments
- Edit service capacity to allow a customer to bring people with them.
Add & Manage Unlimited Employees

- Create individual staff calendars and optionally connect them to employee’s Google Calendar
- Сustomize the service pricing and duration depending on a staff member

- Set lunchtimes and breaks for your employees
- Add days off and non-regular working days and times.
Create Discount Coupons
Build trust with clients by providing them with custom coupons or organizing marketing campaigns.
You can add discount coupons for chosen services, set expiration dates, and for how many days it’s available. You can later track how many coupons were used and even apply coupons if you’re adding payments by hand via the admin panel.
Multiple Services Bookable at One Go
Allow your customers to add several services to cart during one submission. All appointments can be booked for different services, time, date, and employees – in just one go.
Make it easy for a customer to reserve several appointments without a need to go though the same booking procedure several times.
Manage Appointment Bookings on The Backend
Centralize all WordPress appointments in your dashboard – you can view all incoming bookings with the details, such as total cost, details of booked services (e.g. location, employee, date, time, the number of clients, etc.), and the status (whether a booking is confirmed or not).
You can manually edit personal customer info, change a booking status and update a total service cost with this Appointment Booking WordPress plugin.
Centralized Admin Bookings Calendar
Thanks to the built-in appointment booking calendar, admins, employees, and other team members can quickly and easily view all past and future bookings in their current statuses.
The reservations are centralized in one place and you can access them in a color-coded calendar view, individual booking preview, or timetable in chronological order.
Allow Booking for Groups
Note: an appointment for a group can be made only by one person who submits a reservation.
Clients can book an appointment for a group of people. For example, that can be a yoga class or an escape room reservation for several people at a time.
As an admin, you are free to configure capacity settings in the WordPress scheduler plugin by defining the maximum number of persons possible for one appointment, as well as optionally multiply the service price by the number of people.
Holistic WordPress Appointment Booking Toolset
This WordPress appointment scheduler plugin goes beyond providing you with a booking widget. It’s packed with a number of widgets you can use to build your service website further.
For example, there are dedicated widgets for featuring your team members with their contacts and experience, building individual employee profiles, designing lists of services and locations, and more.

The MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin for WordPress is available in English, Italian, French, German and Spanish.
That means you can simply choose the needed language in your WordPress settings and voila – the plugin is automatically switched to the professional translation, both the backend admin tools and the actual website content sourced by the plugin.

Hi, I’m testing your plugin in the “Appointment & Scheduling” version.
I can’t find the possibility to create a monthly reservation.
example: every Tuesday and every Thursday from 12.00 to 12.45.
Thank you
Hi Mauro, There is no option for recurring bookings. Each booking for each specific day and time can be added manually.
Hello there is no option to hide first step (selection employee and service) ??
I have only 1 service and no employees so i just need to display directly the calendar… its possible?
Hi Miguel, Thanks for your question. There is no such option yet. However, we have this request in our list of features, and our developers are working on this at the moment.
Hello Miguel, we are delighted to let you know that we’ve just released the Appointment Booking plugin update v. 1.19.0 with the possibility to hide the service selection and start directly from the calendar date and time selection. In order to achieve this you will need to pre-select the service to be displayed by default and hide all the other selection fields (employee, location etc.)
Hi. Is there a way to change the admin calendar view. It shows the service and the employee. I would like for it to show the customer and the employee. Thanks
Hi Missy,
Thanks for your question, there is no possibility to change the backend calendar.
Hello, is it possible to add a different Confirmation Mode per service instead of a generic one? A hook or something? Thanks
Hi Charis, there are 3 confirmation modes available – confirm automatically, conformation by admin, and confirmation by payments. You may enable one of them.
Hello I would to like to know if in the ProVersion I can set a “Yoga Class Service” with Staff member “Carlos” to receive a maximun of 3 appointments for each time slot. So for example:
Yoga Classes (service) given by instructor Carlos (employee) can receive up to 3 appointments at 10:00 AM (timeslot)
1- Appointment from Carla
1- Appointment from Catalina
1- and another Appointment from Louis
They all want to participate in Carlos´s Yoga Class but they don+t know each other so one can´t book for 3. they have to do it separatedly.
I tested the free version and saw that this is possible if Carla makes and appointment for all three of them, but could not find the way to set 3 individual appointments for the same time slot to be assigned to 1 service and its employee.
Thank you very much looking forward to buy you plug in.
Best regards from Argentina, hope you understand my english.
Hope to have a prompt response.
Marina
Hi Marina,
Thanks for your question. At the moment, there is no possibility to allow group bookings where different customers can book the same class at the same time. We have this request in our list of features and I’ve added your upvote. We will notify you here when we have any news about it.
Hi there, i need this too.
Thanks for your upvote
Hello, how do I modify the content of the drop-down box in the selection event at the bottom of the editor?
Feel free to contact our support team to get assistance with your question. Thanks.
Hello. Do you have an option for deliveries? I need a system that can factor in the cost for delivery to different areas.
Thank you
Hi Miguel,
Thanks for your question. There is no add-on for delivery at the moment.
can you book something longer than 1 day ? if so, how to configure this ?
Hi Daniel,
The customer may book the Service that lasts 1 day two times by enabling the multiple services reservation option. You may read this post to learn how it works
Hello,
Is it possible to modify the checkout form by adding extra fields or remove the required from some inputs? For example the email? I didn’t find any associated hooks inside the plugin.
Thanks in advance.
There is no option to modify the fields on the checkout page yet. We have this request in our list of features so I’ve added your upvote. We will notify you when we have any news.
Will this apply individually to users of my site? I want people to be able to have their own booking calendar with their clients through my site, will they all overlap into one? Can it support being used by hundreds of different users on their own accounts?
