FAQ

How can I embed the booking calendar on a page or post?

By using the ‘Add Calendar’ button above the editor, the Gutenberg module, a widget, or directly by using the shortcode. An example of the shortcode is:

[wpbs id="1" title="yes/no" legend="yes/no" language="auto" form_id="1"]

Will this booking system work for me?

We’re pretty sure about that! We made this plugin as ‘flexible’ as possible. The booking plugin works with bookings on a per day basis (no time slots). So if you rent something out on a daily basis, then the WP Booking System is a good choice.

I had a very unusual need for a booking calendar(s) with a bunch of special tweaks and odd items. The support I received and the functionality was amazing. Now that I have installed this calendar plugin and I have started to use it and really see what it can do I am even more impressed. Every time I had a special need my questions were answered! This is what YOU NEED. I now can think of 4 or 5 more clients who could use this on their site. Thank you so very much for all your help with my needs. Now If I could just figure out how to get rid of this “Blocks” thing. I was going to place an image here but using this stupid guttenhell blocks thing is just horrible. Sorry for the venting here. This calendar booking system is great! Thank you again.

Of all the commercial scheduling platforms out there, none were meeting my specific requirements to create a booking system for desks and rooms at a coworking space. They all have bloat in features I just don’t need but would still have to pay for. WPBS provides the perfect base to create bookings management for just about anything. Also looking at using it for campsite bookings. Helpful and timely support.
