Ideas

Please, feel free to propose new ideas or new features, which you desire to see in future releases of Booking Calendar Plugin.

  1. You need to implement integration like in woocommerce for other payment gateways. I wish to use payment gateways in Nigeria and the Naira sign too should be displayed. Can you include a currency converter somewhere in the app?

    • Hello.
      1) The next major update 7.0 of plugin will have more flexible intergface for integration of new payment gateways.

      2) In actual versions of plugin, the Business Small and higher versions of the Booking Calendar is support PayPal (Standard and PayPal Pro Hosted Solution (please note, PayPal PayPal Pro Hosted Solution its does not the same as PayPal Pro)), Authorize.Net, Sage Pay and iPay88 payment gateways integration, other payment systems are not supporting yet. You can configure and activate it at the Booking > Settings > Payment page.

      If you want to make the integration of your payment system by yourself, so you will be able to check how is integrated the Payment system (on the example) of the PayPal system at this file:../booking/inc/payments/paypal.php . You will be need to create your file with similar structure in that folder. Also you are need to include the calling of your file into this file: ../booking/inc/payments/index.php in the same way, as it was done for the other 3 payment systems.

      Please note, if you will modify the source code of the Booking Calendar, we will not guaranteed the correct work of plugin and do not support it.

      Kind Regards.

  2. Hi. I LOVE your booking calendar. It looks amazing! I would like to purchase it, however, it does not sync with AIRBNB, HOMEAWAY, or FLIPKEY. I found this other calendar from a competitor "vrcalendarsync". It syncs easily with those sites, but it looks awful compared to your wpbooking. Are you thinking of adding a sync feature? If you do I would love to purchase your product ASAP!

    • Hello.

      Unfortunately, the importing/exporting events from iCal, Homeaway, FlipKey, Airbnb is not supporting yet.
      This task still at our todo list for future updates of Booking Calendar. Current version support only import of events from Google Calendar (not exporting).

      I can not say the exact day of this update, but probably its will be after next huge update 7.0, that we currently working on. We set high priority to task of import of bookings from other systems like Airbnb, after update 7.0 will released.

      Kind regards.

      • Oh. Awesome. Thank you for the quick reply. Put me on your mailing list for when you implement the Sync feature!

        • Hello.
          The info about this update will be available in news section at plugin admin panel at settings page.

          And also at the changelog page of this website.
          Kind regards.

    • Possibly have a "Vacation Rental" calendar package? Since you'll only need a few features for that type of calendar.

  3. We use your booking calendar for reservations for a company that promotes touristic tours and we would need to use some features:

    - in a future release will it be possible for bookings to be automatically added to google calendar and / or iCal?

    - as it is now, bookings are also accepted for the same day: considering that the organization of a tour requires at least 24 hours,is it possible to have the option to consider "sold out" the day of the event? (I.E if today is 3rd should automatically be considered "sold out" August 3rd)

    - is it foreseen in the future the possibility of sending an email to the customer in the days following an event? This feature would be really useful in order to remind our customers to write a review in prominent sites where the activity is publicized (Tripadvisor, Yelp Airbnb etc)

    • Hello.
      1) Yes, this feature exist in our TODO list.
      2) You can configure this feature at the General Booking Settings page at "Availability section".
      You need to set for the option "Unavailable days from today" value "1 day"
      3) This feature exist in our TODO list also.
      Kind Regards.

  4. A few features I'd like to see added, at least to the Large Business version which is what we use.
    1) Time slot availability filters, so we can create complex day + time filters
    2) A simple way to change the resource on the frontend from a dropdown.
    3) Add new "resource" type to [condition] tag, so we can change form content based on resource names or IDs.

  5. Hello, I really like this booking calendar. One question I cannot answer myself.
    Using this booking calendar for a holiday home with 2 flats inside, is it possible to have 2 instances of the booking calendar?

    I currently see no way to have a second instance or lets say 2 independent booking calendars - is that a limitation?

    Thanks in advance
    Geb

  6. Dear wpbookingcalendar-team,

    we buyed the professional verion of your software and looking for an additional feature. We managing a fitness center. Our customers using your system to reserve training equipment. There are different payments. We got all-inclusive (monthly and year based) models and we sell pre-paid ticket valid for 10 visits. Is there a way to count down bookings (e.g. from 10 to 0) and give the user a message "Please renew your card".

    Thanks in advise and best regards from germany,
    Alex

    • Hello.
      I think you can use discount coupon codes for such functionality. Its available in the Booking Calendar Business Large or higher version. Check more here: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/#coupons

      You can create discount coupon code and set 100% discount. In addition you can define how many times possible to use this discount coupon code (in your case, its will be 10 times). And if someone, have used this coupon code for 10 times he/she will not be abale to use it anymore.

      You can test Booking Calendar live demos at this page https://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/ to be sure in functionality and do not have misunderstanding.

      But please note, such coupon codes you will be need to set for specific users manually. And you can create coupon codes at the Booking > Resources > Coupons page.

      Kind Regards.

  7. Hi!
    What a wonderful plugin is this, thank you for your awesome work. Iā€™m using the free plugin for WP, and while I was configuring it, came to my knowledge that only site admins can approve the booking request, and this is where I kind ask for your attention:

    I want to have the possibility to add a single(or more) WP user(s) to act as a concierge, not having admin privileges on the site, but can manage all the request made in your booking calendar, routing all the mails and everything as he/she is the administrator but only in the left panel of his(her) account (also maybe cc me as an administrator)

    With this feature you can leave this task to a concierge and leaving the security of the site only to the administrator.
    Thank you for your time,
    BR.

  8. Hi,

    I am looking for a Booking Plugin for my vacation rental. Before moving forward with installing / testing I would like to make sure the dates on the calendar can be oblique on the check-in and check-out dates (otherwise it is difficult for many people to understand)

    Thanks

    • Hello.

      Such functionality, ability to use "check in" and "check out" days as half booked days for the different bookings, available in the Booking Calendar Business Small and higher versions.

      Please check more about the change over days here: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/#change-over-days

      Hot to Configure?

      A) Please open the General Booking Settings page and in Calendar section activate the "range days" selection or multiple days selection mode

      B) If you activate the "change over days" feature, then half booked days will mark by vertical line (as in this live demo https://bm.wpbookingcalendar.com/ ).
      To activate using "change over days" feature you need select range days selection or multiple days selections mode on the General Booking Settings page in calendar section. After this you can activate the "Use check in/out time" option and configure the check in/out times.
      For example, check in time as 14:00 and check out time as 12:00.

      You can test live demos https://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/ to be sure in functionality and do not have misunderstanding.

      Kind Regards.

  9. Hi there

    I was taking a look at your plugin and I found it very interesting. I wanna make a comment about adding Persian Calendar to it. It'd be very useful.

  10. Is there a possibility to each post have a differente calendar ( like each post were a different shop ) so each shop has it own calendar, and each calendar is controlled by the author of the post?
