Best Booking Plugin in the market

It has been 1,5 years now since we use Easy Booking for our rent products.

Before, we were using WooCommerce Bookings from the WooCommerce team. But there, we had some sincere trouble, especially if you are planning to expand – so you have to rely on the booking data and that there are no overlapping bookings. Otherwise, if you have to manually check each booking, you will get insane!
Especially 1 feature in Easy Booking is not included in WooCommerce Booking: Disable dates or weekdays as start and end date.
It seems that nearly no provider of serious booking software (and I am talking also about big players in Germany such as Paul Camper and Campanda) is aware of that a renter doesn’t work 7 days a week and that a renter has holidays. I had discussions with them where they suggested to disable days or weeks – but in high season, that means that nobody can book your product from Monday to Monday if you disable the weekend.
But they don’t get it.

Within Easy booking, there are many features, and I highly recommend every add-on. You will need it.
We had also a couple times support issues – an answer from the dev always came within days and she helped until we solved it.
One downside is that it seems to be only 1 dev, so new features are coming very slow. But if you can’t wait, you can also code some extensions – the base code is very clean and understandable, so it is easy to pimp the code and get a full booking software incl. Google Calender integration for around 99 € ONE TIME. That is a fair deal in comparison with WooCommerce Bookings which will cost 249 € per year, which has less features and whose code is so complex that you will have trouble to extend it.

Also: Easy Booking does not introduce any new product type. It just uses the existing ones which are configurable by a checkbox as bookable. This seems as not much of a feature but if you imagine you do not only have simple and variable products but also product bundles or any other type which is introduced by a plugin, you’ll understand that this is the way to code a booking plugin.

And, not to mention: Easy Booking is 100% compatible with the plugins Product Bundles and Product Addons (both from WooCommerce team). That is a huge Plus.

So, thanks to the dev for all her work in this plugin. I hope, it also pays out and she continues working on this as there are not many alternatives in the market.
