    After testing almost all the solutions available on the market (WordPress plugin or external platform with code integration), I came across this plugin.

    It has everything you could hope for in a booking plugin and even more. The numerous add-ons make it possible to meet almost all the most common uses, whether for booking services or even (simple) products with a shopping cart add-on.

    The strong points of the plugin (and this should be highlighted):

    • The design, totally responsive as long as it is integrated correctly for each page. It is also modern and allows for a slight white label.
    • The functions, numerous and à la carte via add-ons to add, which avoids unnecessarily weighing down the main extension (which is a good point).
    • The price, relatively fair: more expensive would be too much but currently the value for money is acceptable.

    There are necessarily negative points to indicate and really, if they were corrected, I don’t see what we could blame it for (for those who need more, it’s no longer a reservation plugin to which you can go). you have to turn, but an e-commerce store):

    • Integration with admin calendars is only possible via Google Calendar and Outlook (who still uses Outlook in 2024? Especially in small businesses for which this plugin is aimed). We really should add ical and Apple synchronization, it’s a must have.
    • Managing calendar synchronization via Google Calendar or Outlook is not optimal. We expect much better options from a plugin of this type: search the calendars for available slots, do not suggest appointments if you are already booked… in short it needs to be improved because as it stands Automation is one-sided and too fragile.
    • The translation of the plugin is well managed automatically for the free part, but the paid part is basic in English, and you have to change everything manually to switch it back to French (which is personally my language), it’s long and painful, but at least we have the possibility of changing everything.
    • Concerning the translation, it is sometimes difficult to know what the phase that we are translating corresponds to, it is not clear, it is poorly identified and the pieces which are automatically translated are in very approximate French.
    • Loading times are sometimes a little long
    • Managing email notifications is possible, but it is quite basic and if you are not familiar with text/code editors, it is difficult to succeed in producing beautiful emails.

    Despite its faults and the improvements necessary to allow peaceful use, it is in my opinion one, if not the best reservation plugin currently available, as long as one is ready to overlook the faults it may have For now.

    For my part, I hope that these defects will be corrected quickly and the Apple management added.
