Pinpoint Booking System – #1 WordPress Booking Plugin

Description

If you have a service (accommodation, event or anything else) or product that has to be booked in advance, the Pinpoint Booking System is the best way to help your clients make a reservation – directly from your WordPress website. The booking calendar can be customized in any way you like, from the design to its functionalities, with add-ons.

It’s never been easier to schedule a service – with this booking system, your clients can book an appointment directly from your website, with the help of an AJAX powered, clean and intuitive calendar, with a responsive interface.

Responsive Booking Calendar

With this WordPress booking calendar plugin, your clients will be able to book your services and check for their availability directly from your WordPress website. This AJAX simple calendar makes it easier for your clients to make appointments because there is no need to refresh the page to make any updates.

This user friendly WordPress booking calendar is perfect for any of your clients – it’s responsive, so it can be viewed on any device and it adapts to your customer’s time zones.

The Pinpoint booking calendar can be customized to a great extent: the client can select how many months to view in the calendar and there is a sidebar, where your customers can search for availability, select the number of rooms or items that they need, use coupons or select extras.

Your client is able to see a summary of their reservation and, if necessary, you can add a custom form that they can fill in – directly in the booking calendar.

Book Days

In your booking calendar, days are displayed with one out of 5 types of availability: none, available, booked, special or unavailable. You can set a special price for groups of days, or select the minimum or the maximum number of days that can be booked.

Book Nights

This feature is perfect for you if you’re in the accommodation business. The booking calendar offers support for morning check-outs. Your clients will have the option of checking-in in the afternoons and checking-out in the mornings – and the prices and availability will be displayed accordingly.

Book Hours

With Pinpoint, you can control your reservations by hours. Hours are treated exactly the same as days, with 5 types of availability, special prices for groups of hours or a minimum or a maximum number of bookable hours.

Book Hours Intervals

Pinpoint booking calendar lets you adjust the reservation time interval even more – with the help of the time slot. You can set hour intervals for your bookings, down to the minute. This gives you increased precision and control over your client’s reservations.

Reservations management

Booking management has never been easier. Booking calendar administrators can add, cancel, edit, reject or delete reservation requests. Bookings can be instantly approved or rejected, but can never overlap – and the booking calendar will update accordingly.

You can choose between a list view or a calendar view to display your clients’ reservations, and they can be printed or exported in 4 types of formats – CSV, XLS, JSON, and ICS.

BOOKING CALENDAR EXTENSIONS

Extras

With Pinpoint, you can add extra amenities, services or others to your client’s bookings, either with a price or for free. You can set default values for the extras, and whether they are mandatory or not. Also, multiple extras groups can be made to be used with your booking calendar.

Forms

In case you need more information from your clients, you can create a custom form that your customers can fill in directly in the booking calendar. You can have text fields, text areas, checkboxes, dropdowns and even custom fields in your form. It’s worth knowing that you can create an unlimited number of custom forms for your calendar.

Discounts

In this booking calendar, you can create discounts according to the time interval the reservation is made for. You can decide how the discounts will be calculated – once by day or hour, fixed or a percent – and their default amount.

Taxes and fees

If reserving your product or service comes with extra taxes or fees – you can add them to your booking calendar. You can decide their value, and if they will be included or not in the overall reservation price.

Coupons

Another useful feature Pinpoint has is the creating of vouchers or coupons for your customers. You can set their default value, the terms and conditions of how they can be used and add them directly into the booking calendar.

WooCommerce Bookings

This booking calendar can be greatly extended with the WooCommerce plug-in. With this, you can make the most of the shopping cart, the specific payment gateways and all the other extra features that come with the WooCommerce WordPress plug-in. Additionally, all your reservations data is saved both in Pinpoint and WooCommerce orders.

Other WordPress Booking System Features

Synchronization via iCal files

For better reservation management, the Pinpoint Booking Calendar can be synchronized with other calendars – Mac Calendar, Outlook, Google Calendar, iCalendar or Airbnb, via iCal format data.

Notifications for Booking Requests

You can send your clients’ reminders and notifications form your booking calendar, either by email or SMS. You can set up text messages to be sent, either to you or your customers – with Clickatell SMS gateway. For an email notification, you can create custom templates for any type of notice or language, and they will be sent with STMP, PHPMailer class or PHP mail function.

Support for multiple languages

If your local language is different from English, or you need to offer your services in multiple languages, the Pinpoint booking system offers support for a couple of languages already. However, if you find that yours is not, you can modify or translate your own texts with a simple “to-do” tool.

Support for multiple currencies

You can use any currency with our Pinpoint booking system. However, if you need to, you can customize your own currency to fit your needs, using hooks.

Online Payment Getaways

Even though payment cannot be mandatory when a client makes a reservation, it can be an option. With this booking calendar, PayPal is the default payment method, but if you have another preference, you can change that with add-ons. There are 6 payment gateways to choose from – Stripe, WePay, 2Checkout, Authorize.Net, Braintree, ICEPAY and Mollie.

Inoperable payments and no support

troyvit November 13, 2024

I think the only thing still functioning with this organization is their ability to take your money. While the plugin works fairly well if you don’t want to accept payments on its own, its paid Authorize.net plugin is broken, as is its included PayPal functionality. The changelog for the plugin was last updated in 2018 and it relies on an obsolete version of omnipay. Multiple support requests to try to get it working went unanswered. Plugins die, I get that, but if the thing doesn’t work, don’t accept money for it. That’s why I consider Pinpoint, “The #1 WordPress Booking Plugin,” fradulent. If you find yourself in our position its worth it to call your bank and try to claw your money back. It’s a shame too, because there’s a lot to be said for the UX of this plugin. The UI is out-dated and not super accessible, but you can tell that at some point a talented team cared about this plugin.

support not worth

andreas October 16, 2024

i tried to use this plugin in the paid version and had some (in my opinion: simple) questions after buying – got no solutions after almost a year of waiting. after expiring of my license – and, of course, not extending cause the missing answers – additional i’ve lost the right to download my paid version again: the website do not offer the button anymore. also i’ve got no answer to my emails to the team regarding this for weeks, so lost the paid plugin for ever… the functions of the system are not bad, but having trouble with it, users are lost. poor!

Error 120 costed me towsands of dollars in lost buisness

onloue August 17, 2024

I’d suggest to not get the permenant licence beacause the customer service will disappear. I’ve had multiple?requests done to fix this error 120. none could be done to fix this so I had to pay for a new plugin

Very good support

John Poll May 31, 2023

Very good and prompt support.

If NO support, it’s a useless plugin

Mugam February 23, 2023

If as soon as something does not work for us and despite giving them everything they ask for, data, photos, administrator access… They disappear and do not provide a solution… We have to pull our hair out, get frustrated and unfortunately have to look for another tool, which may be worse, but it will work thanks to its SUPPORT… and change. A plugin that DOES NOT work DOES NOT USE ANYTHING. Thank you USELESS PINPOINT support. We are glad that they treat us with this CONTEMPOR because it means that they do not need us. THANK YOU! Si en cuanto no nos funciona algo y a pesar de darles todo lo que piden, datos, fotos, acceso de administrador… Desaparecen y no dan solución… Nos tenemos que tirar de los pelos, frustrarnos y lamentablemente tener que buscar otra herramienta, que quizás sea peor, pero funcionará gracias a su SOPORTE… y cambiar. Un plugin que NO funciona NO SIRVE DE NADA. Gracias Soporte INUTIL de PINPOINT. Nos alegramos de que nos traten con este DESPRECIO pues significa que no nos necesitan. ?GRACIAS!

Good for now
