WooCommerce Appointments is a specialized BookingWP extension that turns your WooCommerce store into a complete online booking and appointment system. It is designed for businesses that sell time: professional consultations, classes, coaching sessions, health and beauty services, hourly rentals, or any activity that requires scheduling an appointment with a specific date and time.
The plugin integrates natively with WooCommerce, meaning each bookable service is managed as another product in your catalog, with its price, taxes, and conditions. The customer selects the day and time directly on the product page, sees in real time which slots are available, and completes payment in the same checkout process, without intermediate steps or manual email confirmations.
Among its main features are flexible availability rules, which allow you to define schedules by date, day, or time, set breaks and holidays, and configure preparation times between appointments. It also includes capacity rules to control how many people can book the same time slot, ideal for group classes or services with limited capacity.
Staff management is another of its strengths: you can assign multiple professionals to each service, manage their individual calendars, and allow them to log in to configure their own availability. Additionally, two-way Google Calendar synchronization keeps all events updated between your site and your team's calendars, preventing overlaps and double bookings.
Regarding pricing, the plugin offers advanced pricing rules that allow you to apply different prices based on the day, time, assigned professional, or quantity booked. It also supports additional form fields with extra cost and duration, advance payments or deposits, and the ability for customers to cancel or reschedule their appointments autonomously.
The extension includes automatic email notifications and reminders to reduce no-shows, as well as support for multiple languages and currencies through the main translation plugins. Its integration with the WordPress and WooCommerce REST API allows access to all booking data in JSON format, facilitating the development of custom solutions.
In short, WooCommerce Appointments transforms your store into a complete and professional booking platform, eliminating manual coordination by email or phone and centralizing appointments, payments, and calendars in a single admin panel.
