Team Booking – the innovative WordPress booking plugin
A deep Google Calendar integration
Team Booking is a WordPress booking and reservation plugin for appointments and services with a very distinctive feature: all the availability plans are made via Google Calendar!
- Make availability plans through Google Calendar…
- Calendar events become free slots, ready to be booked…
- Once booked, the relative Google Calendar event will be updated!
Why “team”? Because availability plans can be made by multiple “coworkers”!
Just some plugin’s features
- A complete booking solution – services, events, appointments, rooms and so on…
- Planning via Google Calendar – use your Google Calendar to plan availability and manage reservations
- Collaborative – specify WP roles allowed to be service providers. They can work together for the same service, while keeping their own Google Calendars for availability planning!
- Customizable – tweak general and personal reservation behaviour, frontend calendar style, maps, confirmation email and more.
- Hassle-free – the frontend booking calendar works out of the box with shortcodes!
- Timezone conversion – let the customers choose their timezones!
- Reservation form builder – create your perfect reservation forms!
- Payments – with PayPal and Stripe!
- Promotions – discount coupons and campaigns!
- Complete notification e-mail system – build custom e-mail content with dynamic user data
- Export data – a full reservations database, downloadable as *.CSV and *.XLSX files
- Fully WPML compatible – requires WPML Multilingual CMS
- Language support – via .po and .mo files
…and more to come!
F.A.Q.
Is a connection with Google Calendar required?
In order to provide availability for scheduled services, a service provider must do that via Google Calendar. Unscheduled services don’t require a Google Calendar. A customer is not required to have a Google Calendar to book a service.
Can I place repeating or full-day slots?
Yes. All these Google Calendar possibilities are perfectly matched by Team Booking! Repeating slots in Google Calendar will help you with repeating availabilities, so you don’t have to create every single slot manually!
Can I place multiple-days events?
Multiple-days events (i.e. a single event from April 4th to April 6th) are not yet supported.
Can I place a slot without showing the ending time?
Yes! But please note that the slot will still have a duration, even if not displayed, that the customer can’t change.
Can I place different frontend calendars by coworker or service?
Yes. Not only, you can also mix them up as you prefer, via shortcodes.
Can I choose not to show the calendar to unregistered users?
Yes. You can either choose to show the calendar in read-only mode for unlogged users.
Will the unregistered users be invited to register?
Yes. The registration landing page is the WP default one, or you can choose any link to a custom registration page.
Need customers a Google account?
No, they don’t.
To set availability, there is no other way than using Google Calendar(s)?
No, this plugin is made for that.
Requirements
Team booking is tested with WordPress 4.7+ and strictly requires PHP 5.3+.
The plugin relies on Google Calendar and more generally on Google API infrastructure’s status to work properly. The plugin is not responsible for any limitations may arise from Google API terms and conditions.
If you are going to use the PayPal gateway, then ensure your server being SHA256 and TLSv1.2 compliant, accordingly to the current PayPal standards.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE
Please consider that the above requirements are not there as a joke.
Using old PHP versions may expose you or your clients to security vulnerabilities and bugs that have been fixed in more recent versions of PHP.
