Booking Plugin Suggestion

    I’m looking for a WordPress plugin that would let me manage bookings for multiple courts (for basketball, volleyball, soccer, etc…).

    I’d like to be able to drag and drop teams between the courts and their available hours. So far I can’t find any booking plugins that would work like this. Everything I have seen works on a daily basis with little to no focus on hourly. The plugins that focus on hourly seem to only focus on one booking at a time. This would take up a lot of time booking courts one by one.

    It would be nice to have a single GUI that I could interface with where I could see all of the courts broken down into hourly increments and then either use a dropdown to select a team to use a time slot on a specific court or drag and drop a pill of a team to a time slot.

    Is anyone familiar with a plugin that works like this, or can be repurposed to work similar to this?

  • Hey there!

    I do not think that there is a plugin that would match all of your requirements, but here are a few approaches you can consider to achieve the functionality you’re looking for. Here are some options:

    1. Custom Development: You can hire a WordPress developer to create a custom plugin tailored to your specific needs. This way, you can have full control over the features and design of your booking system, including the drag-and-drop functionality.
    2. Booking Calendar Plugins: While most booking plugins focus on daily reservations, some offer more granular control over time slots. You can explore popular booking plugins like Bookly, Amelia, or BirchPress Scheduler. While they may not provide the exact drag-and-drop interface you mentioned, they offer features like hourly bookings, availability management, and customizable booking forms.
    3. Resource Management Plugins: Instead of searching for a booking plugin specifically for sports courts, you can consider resource management plugins that offer scheduling and allocation features. These plugins are designed to manage resources like meeting rooms, equipment, or facilities. One such plugin is Booked, which allows you to create multiple resources (courts) and set availability on an hourly basis. It provides a clean interface for managing bookings but may not have the drag-and-drop functionality you desire.
    4. Third-Party Solutions: If you’re open to using a non-WordPress solution, you can explore dedicated booking platforms like Skedda or Bookwhen. These platforms offer more advanced booking features and may better suit your needs. You can embed their booking widgets or calendars into your WordPress website.

    Remember to thoroughly research and evaluate any plugin or solution you choose to ensure it meets your specific requirements and integrates well with your WordPress website.
