    Would it be possible to use this plugin to synchronize a calendar on my webpage to my booking.com calendar?

    I would like a calendar in my page to display my booking.com calendar so that my viewers can plan in advance when to book. Once they know when they want to book, they cango to booking.com to do so.

    For that I need the calendar to always update its content to stay updated all the time, at the same time I need it to be read only.

    Is it possible?

    Hello.
    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 are 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

    Import.
    Please check about the configuration of import events from .ics feeds in this FAQ instruction here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/import-ics-feeds/ 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 accessing this page with booking import shortcode to start the import process. Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking form shortcode, so firstly the system will start the import process and only then show the booking form, when someone visits your page.

    In case if you are having some issue of not ability to import new events, then check this troubleshooting instruction: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/ics-importing-issue/

    You can define CRON at your server for periodically access pages with import .ics feeds shortcodes and start import process during specific time-intervals, then check this: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/cron-script/

    Export.
    Please check about the configuration of export .ics feeds in this FAQ instruction here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/export-ics-feeds/Booking Calendar is generated .ics feed with bookings in real time. But how often some services (like airbnb, or booking.com ) access this .ics feed to import the bookings from Booking Calendar into their own system, does not depend on the Booking Calendar. So in other words, Booking Calendar does not force the 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 for making imports.

    You can check overview of different Booking Calendar versions at this page: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/

    Also you can test live demos https://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/ to be sure of functionality and do not have misunderstanding.

    Please watch more useful video guides here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/

    Kind Regards.
