New Drag & Drop Booking Form Builder
- • NEW / BETA: Introduced the new Drag & Drop Booking Form Builder for visually creating booking forms without manually editing form code.
- • Build forms visually: Drag fields into the canvas, arrange the layout, and see the result instantly in the live preview.
- • Faster and easier workflow: Create modern booking forms without working with complex manual shortcodes.
- • Available in all versions: Booking Calendar now supports multiple custom booking form configurations in all versions, including the Free version.
Create Booking Forms, Contact Forms, and Inquiry Forms
- • NEW: Added support for Contact Forms / Inquiry Forms / Request Forms — the calendar is now optional.
- • Use Booking Calendar as a contact form alternative: Create forms without booking dates and manage all submissions inside Booking Calendar.
- • Ready-to-use templates: Start faster with predefined templates for booking, contact, and inquiry forms.
- • Flexible start: Create a form from a template or begin with a blank canvas for full control.
Powerful Visual Layout Builder
