About this plugin
BookPilot AI lets you accept and manage appointments directly from your WordPress site. Build a fully branded booking experience — no third-party redirect required.
Key features:
- Services & staff — Create unlimited services with custom pricing, duration, and capacity. Assign staff members with individual schedules and time-off.
- Three booking views — Embed the booking widget in Grid, List, or Calendar layout via the included Elementor widget.
- Payments — Accept Cash/Pay on Arrival, PayPal Standard, or Stripe. Optionally route everything through WooCommerce for unified order management.
- Coupons — Create percentage or fixed-amount discount codes with expiry dates and usage limits.
- Notifications manager — A dedicated Notifications screen to create unlimited custom email notifications. Choose action-based triggers (approved, pending, rejected, cancelled, details changed, rescheduled) or scheduled reminders/follow-ups (X minutes before/after the appointment), filter by service and appointment status, send to multiple recipients (client, staff, admins, custom address), and write the message with a full rich text editor and dynamic placeholders.
- Staff widget — Show your team in a Grid or List with five layout presets (Card, Overlay, Minimal, Classic, Compact), columns, ordering, pagination, AJAX category filter chips, and a built-in “Book Now” popup that opens the booking flow pre-filtered to that staff member’s services.
- Works in any page builder — Use the [bpai_staff] shortcode in Gutenberg, WPBakery, Divi, Beaver Builder, or the Classic editor — not just Elementor.
- iCal export — Let customers add their appointment to any calendar app.
- Elementor widgets — Style every aspect of the booking and staff widgets (colours, typography, card layout, button, calendar) with Elementor’s visual controls. No coding required.
