Had a great experience with Booking Calendar support. Had a question about how to deal with a challenging booking setup for a B&B client, and their support returned my email request within half an hour with a very thorough and accurate understanding of the issue I had. They made a suggestion, provided a LOT of documentation and examples to back it up, and with a few simple edits of some shortcodes in my client’s website, the issue was resolved and the booking forms are working exactly as I wanted them to! Thank you for the great support. I highly recommend Booking Calendar for its features and their amazing support system is just the icing on the cake!

I have been using the paid version of the plugin for three months now for a client who runs a gym, to allow personal training sessions to be booked. Payments can be made with or without discount codes. I am very satisfied with the features the plugin offers. The developer responds very quickly to emails, and any issues are resolved almost immediately. I’m very happy with my purchase and can recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a booking solution.

rkeele 30 мая, 2025 1 reply

I’ve been using the free version for about a month. It’s very easy to configure and worked for me right out of the box. I submitted a feature request and was surprised to get a very quick response. Thanks for the great plugin and excellent support.

I love it, keep up the good work

lukefrogley 14 мая, 2025

Could not be happier with this plugin and the level of support. I am not a confident web developer and this product itself is very easy to use for most applications. The few minor issues I had were resolved quickly, even though they were mostly my own fault. Thanks again!

In the Setup Wizard, you can select “Wizard (Steps Timeline) – Service Duration.” This feature is ideal for appointment types based on service duration, such as salon or doctor appointments, consultations, product demos, table bookings, and more.
- Tip and Trick: Add a time duration field in the Settings > Booking Form page with the reserved name “durationtime” and options like: “Service A (15 min)@@00:15” or “Service D (1 hour)@@01:00“. The option format is “Title@@Time Duration,” where “Title” is usually the service name and “Time Duration” is defined in the format HH:MM (HH = hours from 00 to 23, MM = minutes from 00 to 59). (10.10.1.4)
- Tip and Trick: Add a start time field in the Settings > Booking Form page with the reserved name “starttime” and options like: “8:15 AM@@08:15” or “4:20 PM@@16:20.” The option format is “Title@@Time,” where “Title” is any text (typically the time in AM/PM format) and “Time” is defined in the 24-hour format (HH:MM), where HH = hours (00 to 23) and MM = minutes (00 to 59).
