    The scenario is this: I would like to show my Google Calendar (which I fill manually for offline requests) and the booking.com calendar that I’ve added to Google Calendar (creating then a new one with its own ID).

    Is there a possibility to sync both iCal ID in the plugin and show events from both?

    Many thanks for your help.

    Hello.
    Yes, it’s possible.
    You need to insert into one page the booking import shortcode for import from the Google Calendar and insert into other page the booking import shortcode for import bookings from booking.com
    Watch this video guide about how to start import of .ics feeds (events/bookings) into Booking Calendar: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/import-ics-feed-video-tutorial/

    Please note this info.

    Booking Calendar plugin is supporting – import of events via .ics feeds from Google Calendar ( or Airbnb or any other calendar that support .ics format, like iCal application) – and export bookings to .ics feeds (files), which possible to import in Google Calendar (or Airbnb, Booking.com, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, VRBO, FlipKey and any other calendar that uses .ics format ).

    Please read more about this feature here: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync

    Please note, the import process is working in that case, when some visitor is open your website page with booking import shortcode. So you can configure CRON at your server, for periodically access this page with booking import shortcode to start import process. Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking form shortcode, so firstly system will start import process and only then show booking form, when someone visit your page.

    Now about export. Booking Calendar is generate .ics feed with bookings in real time. But how often some service (like airbnb, or booking.com ) access this .ics feed to import the bookings from Booking Calendar into own system, does not depend from Booking Calendar. So in other words, Booking Calendar does not force to generate import process by third party service, when some booking is created. You need to check with support of this service (like airbnb or booking.com), about how often they can access the .ics feed tor making import.

    Thanks @wpdevelop!

    I think I need to clarify the question. I know I can sync by both ways: .ics or google calendar./
    So the question was: can I sync 2 google Calendars into the same shortcode/calendar to show in one page??

    In the case this is not possible: Can I sync 1 Google calendar and import 1 .ics from booking.com to show in the same shortcode/calendar?

    Thanks again!

    Hello.
    Yes, you can import bookings from booking.com and also import bookings from Google Calendar into the same booking resource (calendar) at your website.

    You just need to have in one page the shortcode like this:
    [booking-manager-import url='https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/CALENDAR_ID/public/basic.ics' resource_id=1 from='today' until='year-end' max=500]
    and in other page shortcode like this:
    [booking-manager-import url='https://booking.com/SOME-YOUR-URL/feed.ics' resource_id=1 from='today' until='year-end' max=500]

    So both these feeds will be imported into the booking resource with ID = 1, that is one resource which is available in the Booking Calendar Free version.

    Check my above comments, for other details.
    Kind Regards.
