Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Demfilz Booking Calendar Plus version 1.0.0 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Demfilz Booking Calendar Plus turns any WordPress site into a booking system for salons, clinics, trades, consultants and studios:
Services with duration, price, colour and before/after buffers.
Staff members with their own weekly working hours (split shifts supported), time off, and the services they perform.
Step-by-step booking form (shortcode [dbook_bookings] or the Bookings block): service, staff member (or “Any available”), date and time, details. Mobile-friendly and theme-neutral.
“Any staff” auto-assign picks the least-loaded qualified staff member.
No double bookings: availability is checked server-side again at the moment of booking, with a transactional lock.
Emails: customer confirmation with a calendar invite (.ics) attached, admin and staff notifications, cancellation notices and an automatic reminder email before the appointment.
Customer self-service: every email includes a private manage link where the customer can reschedule or cancel (with a configurable cut-off).
Approval mode: choose instant confirmation or review each request.
Admin: dashboard, filterable bookings list with CSV export, a monthly booking calendar, and a manual add-booking form.
Privacy ready: personal data exporter and eraser, plus an optional clean uninstall.
Take deposits with the Pro add-on
Add Demfilz Booking Calendar Plus Pro to collect a deposit or the full price with Stripe at booking time. The slot is held while the customer pays on Stripe’s secure hosted checkout and confirms automatically once payment lands – no card details ever touch your site. Set payment per service (no payment, a percentage or fixed deposit, or full price), issue refunds from the dashboard, and hold-and-release abandoned checkouts automatically.
AIEIO Calendar integration (optional)
Connect a free AIEIO Calendar account and:
Confirmed bookings are pushed into each staff member’s calendar (and removed when cancelled).
Events marked busy in a staff calendar automatically block those times on the booking form – so a staff member’s personal appointments prevent double booking.
Every calendar has a private ICS feed, so bookings appear in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook too.
The plugin talks to the calendar with an API key you create in the calendar’s settings. au/cal/ for its privacy policy). Nothing is sent unless you enter an API key.
