Appointment Booking WordPress Plugin - BookPro

Anyone who lives off appointments knows the pattern: the phone rings while you're with a client, the paper diary ends up full of crossings-out, and someone tries to book at ten at night on a site that doesn't respond. BookPro is a booking plugin for businesses that sell the time of specific people: salons, spas, clinics, trainers or consultants.

The real problem with a diary: time can only be sold once

An empty hour at a hair salon or physiotherapy clinic can't be recovered. So what matters isn't a pretty form, but that slots are calculated correctly. BookPro calculates availability in real time from the service duration, the professional's hours and their days off, to avoid double bookings. The customer picks a service, a professional and a free slot, pays and gets a confirmation.

Services, staff and schedules in one place

• Services and categories with price, duration and assigned professionals.
• Working hours, breaks, days off and a personal schedule for each employee.
• Custom roles and capabilities to control what each team member sees and does.
• An overall schedule view and a calendar per professional.
• Google Calendar synchronization.

If you have several professionals, this saves you the usual mess of "who is free on Thursday?".

Cart, payments and customer wallet

The checkout works like a shop: customers can book one or several appointments in a single purchase. To get paid, use WooCommerce payment methods or offline payments. You can also set up coupons (percentage or fixed amount, with usage limits) and taxes so totals are correct.

Wallet, refunds and invoices

Each customer has a balance (wallet) with the option of refunds, and every order generates a PDF invoice. Automatic emails notify both the customer and the administration about bookings, cancellations and refunds. If you bill individuals, check with your accountant how invoicing should work in your country.

Dashboards on the public side of the site

Customers get their own area with their bookings, profile and wishlist, plus registration, login and password recovery with Google reCAPTCHA. Order management lets you filter and export to CSV. The plugin is responsive, translation ready (it includes a .pot file), compatible with WPML and Polylang, and ready for right-to-left languages.

Online payments need WooCommerce, and the rest is up to you

BookPro handles the diary, payments and basic documents. Some things are left out:

• Already solved: real-time availability, staff and roles, cart, coupons, taxes, wallet, PDF invoices, email notifications and order export.
• With another plugin: online payment gateways depend on WooCommerce, which you must install and configure separately.
• By hand or with a professional: your website design, legal texts, cancellation terms and fine-tuning of templates if you want something very different from the default design (the code supports hooks and filters for developers).

Also check in the demo whether the booking flow fits the way you work, especially if your services need several professionals at once.
