Booking Works

Booking Works turns your WordPress site into a booking platform. Visitors pick a date or time on a clean calendar, see the price immediately and book in seconds. You get a dashboard, a booking calendar, e-mail notifications, tickets with QR codes and a customer area without installing anything else.

Built for non-technical site owners. A short setup wizard asks what you offer (rooms, rentals, tours, appointments, real estate…) and configures everything for you. Every option can be changed later under Settings > Booking Works.

What you can sell

• Date ranges – hotel rooms, vacation rentals, car and equipment rental, real estate stays (per night / per day / per person).

• Time slots – appointments, services, classes, property viewings, hourly rental.

• Fixed events and tours – a limited number of seats per date.

Main features

• Built-in booking engine – WooCommerce is optional. Existing WooCommerce based sites keep working (classic mode).

• Live availability calendar and instant price quote on the booking form.

• Opening days and hours, slot length, buffer time, minimum and maximum stay, lead time, advance booking window and closed dates – globally and per item.

• Manual approval toggle (global, overridable per item).

• Customer cancellation and rescheduling toggles with time windows.

• E-mails to customers and the owner with editable templates and reminders.

• Tickets with QR code, print / save as PDF, and a check-in screen with camera scanning.

Classic WooCommerce mode

Sites that sold bookable WooCommerce products with earlier versions are upgraded automatically and keep the classic behaviour. Third-party plugins used by classic mode (WC Vendors, YITH Wishlist, NS Add Product Frontend, Security Deposits, Inbox…) remain supported but are no longer required for the built-in engine.

Third-party libraries

• QRCode.js generator (qrcode-generator) – MIT License, bundled in js/qrcode.js.
