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.

Create Discount Coupons

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.

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, 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)?
