FAQ

How can I embed the booking calendar on a page or post?

Use the ‘Add Calendar’ button above the editor, the Gutenberg block, the Widget or the shortcode. An example of a shortcode: [wpsbc id="1" title="yes/no" legend="yes/no" legend_position="side/top/bottom" language="auto/language-code"]. If you paste this shortcode in a page it will show your calendar.

Reviews

Indeed a simple booking calendar

Denny Müller August 5, 2024

The name says it all: a simple booking calendar. Very clear, it’s not bloated and easy to set up. Worth paying for pro version.

An excellent tool for reservations.

zufonja May 24, 2024

An excellent tool for reservations. And excellent support. Roland implemented an update with the new calendar functionality at our request in less than 12 hours. Thanks to him.

Wonder if Roland will have a sale on this black friday? ??

Installed the free version to setup a demo for a car rental site. Looks good and the pro functionality looks to be the most feature rich out of all (at least every one I could find) booking system plugins. Dev team seems to be solid as well. You’d think there would be a wide range of choice in this space but nope – this seems to be the only one that I would choose – at least for equipment rentals anyway.

Great support !

I bought a license but never received a serial key. Also trying to login in their dashboard doesn’t seem to work. “Your account is not activated yet, click here…” All I experienced was a loop with no results… I can’t believe for such a “popular” rating… UPDATE: After posting this, I got an email within 5 minutes. Excellent support! And the key was there, yeeha. Although it would be better to notify the customer that a serial key would be mailed.
