Custom booking system, similar to a booking site
-
Hello.
Me and couple of friends come up with an idea to create website like booksy.
Assumptions:
-Thousand of ‘sellers’ of services, like ‘I will fix your sink’ / ‘I will paint your house’ etc. One seller can have multiple different offers
-Every offer have separate calendar with timeslots (available/not available or so)
-Every ‘buyer’ user can view the offers and check calendar for every service whether the time slot is free or not, with the option to book itQuestions:
1) Is it possible to do on WordPress?
2) If yes, what is the easiest way to do it, if (for now) I dont know php? Buy existing plugin and edit it or create a new one from the scratch?
3) There are tens of existing booking plugins, but all of them are prepared for single ‘seller’ like a Single barber shop. Or maybe there is something similar that Im not aware?
4)If wordpress is a bad idea, what path we should pick to do it as easy as possible?

Writing a plugin has a steep learning curve, particularly for what you want to do, which is receive and store user inputs, which requires a decent foundation in validating, sanitizing and escaping.
If you would like a custom plugin, consider a job posting at https://jobs.wordpress.net3) There are tens of existing booking plugins, but all of them are prepared for single ‘seller’ like a Single barber shop. Or maybe there is something similar that Im not aware?
