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 Upon Arrival
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, or allow clients to choose to pay upon arrival. Stripe allows you to also accept payments via Bancontact, iDEAL, Giropay, SEPA Direct Debit, and SOFORT.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Automated Email Notifications
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.
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.
Translated into Several Languages
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.

If you are looking for the best booking solution for short-term property rentals or hotel rooms, the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin is what you need.
Unless [edit_posts] is turned on for the employee, it gives them the “My Account” page vs the admin page where they can work on thier schedules, etc. This gives them way yoo much editing power. Again, am I doing something wrong?
Hi Frank, please get in touch with our support team and describe your question in more detail by attaching screenshots or providing examples that will help understand your concern better. Thanks.
When I assign a user to an employee, when they login it takes them to the main account page of my site where they can see thier own orders, account info etc. They have no abilities there to manage anything booking related there.
When I make them a manager, they can manage bookings, manage other peoples schedules, etc, so the permissions give them way too high of permissions to edit and delete everything. Am I missing something?
Hello, It is possible to have both Hotel nooking and appointment bookings in the same site? I understand they are two different things and each have their own backend panel. Im building a hotel site with experiences and we need to know if we can have both plugins working in the same site (each one will have their own sections).
Also it is possible to add cost per child? like Adults 150 usd each and childs 80usd? I saw the tour guide demo, we are looking forward to build something alike but we need to have different prices for the customers.
Hi Anthony, Yes, you may use both plugins on the same site. It is possible to set different prices for adults and children by using the Hotel Booking plugin only. As for the Appointment Booking plugin, you may try adding that as different services and allow multiple bookings.
Hello, Is it possible to save multiple different times and days at once? I would like to be able to offer a client to book multiple hours at once on different days and get a discount. Thanks in advance for your reply!
Best regards, Alex
Hi Alex, Thanks for your question. Yes, it is possible to book multiple services at once. Please read this post to learn how it works. As for the discount so there is no option to apply a discount automatically depending on the number of added services, etc.
Is it possible to add a feature that allows to book an event that is a few days long like a weekend?
Hi, There is no possibility to create event that lasts more than 1 day, yet. The guest should add 2 events to the cart to book it for 2 days.
Hi,
Does this plugin support different languages, or is it possible to translate it via a plugin?
And if my site is multilingual, could I use two languages simultaneously ( I mean, it depends on which lang the user chooses)?
Hi, Unfortunately, the Appointment Booking plugin has not been tested with any multilingual plugin.
Hi! I just want to know if i sync the plugin with Google Calendar, can the guests add the appointment to their Google Calendar too, or just the employees?
Hi Varga,
There is no option yet to let the guests save the event to their Google Calendars. The synchronization is available for the employees. You may refer to the following post on our blog https://motopress.com/blog/sync-employees-google-calendar-to-website-bookings-in-appointment-booking-plugin/
