Reviews

Very good and convenient booking system

Dirk Peter July 24, 2024

The booking system is easy to integrate into the website and offers a wide range of options for customization. The integration into WordPress worked flawlessly for me.The system as such, which offers a very large scope and further integration, is also highly recommended. I spent a long time comparing which system I would work with, but none offers me such a wide range of services with such easy administration as this one

Plugin logs out with no reason, re-login didn’t work

stephan55 July 17, 2024 1 reply

I use simplybook for two month now and I also installed the wordpress plugin for our website. During that time, it happend 3 times, that I got – for whatever reason – logged out of the plugin. I only noticed it, because some of our customers couldn’t book any more on our website. The last time, I had also problems to login again, because the confirmation code didn’t arrive via email. The simplybook support tends to claim that there is a problem on my side which isn’t the case. In the end, I don’t use this plugin any more, because I want to avoid bad surprises, when customers can’t book any more. For a premium account I would expect a more reliable solution and a better support from the provider.

The best for photographers

Integrating our booking system with the website was something we were dreading, but using the plugin was so easy, and very simple to setup. Already we have found our sales increasing due to our customers being able to book for themselves!
