Woocommerce for bookable products with “round trip” option

    I am trying to find the correct way to handle a product that has a round trip component, specifically for a simple airport shuttle service. Ideally I would offer the shuttle service as one product, where the customer can add the return date on the same product page. Then the cart page would show either the info for the one way shuttle, or in the case of round trip would show the info and dates of both legs of the shuttle. There is only point a and point b for this shuttle, and only one time per day for each leg. The only variable is Adult or Child pricing. Should this scenario be handled as 2 separate products, grouped product (which Bookings does not support), or by some other method?
    You’d think there was a simple solution with all the reservation sites out there, but I have been searching for weeks for a plugin or extension within the woocommerce ecosystem that can handle this without the need for coding or customizing. BTW the shuttle is the cornerstone product, but I need a flexible booking system since I also offer tours and rentals, albeit with few options.
    Any helpful answers will be rewarded with a free airport transfer in Bahia, Brazil!!! ??
    Thanks!

  • Hi Robin,

    Yes unfortunately the closest we have at present is the check-in/check-out feature using https://www.woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-accommodation-bookings/
    but this isn’t doing what you are wanting as essentially you are looking for the option to have quantity 1 (single) or quantity 2 (round-trip) and if the option selected is round-trip 2 booking calendars are shown.

    I too have looked around and there isn’t a 3rd party Round Trip WooCommerce Booking extension option that exists as far as I can see either.

    We highly suggest contacting one of the services on our customizations page if you are wanting to have this feature : https://woocommerce.com/customizations/

    Please do also put your request here for future possible inclusion though as the team that is involved with these kinds of decisions often look through here for ideas that are gaining traction.

    Thanks for your reply! I thought of that as well, but the check in check out option would multiply the price by all the days in between! I looking at the possibility of using the gravity forms product addons, since the regular product addons plugin does not have a datepicker option, which I obviously need to set the return date.
    I will certainly make the request you suggested… just trying to figure out which combination of plugins to purchase at the moment.
    This is a different issue, but the kid I’m going to hire to design the site says he had a problem using woocommerce bookings with wpml, he says he could not not get the datepicker or date formats to display differently for different languages. Is this a known issue? Or a problem with wpml possibly?
    Thanks for your help Sven… always welcome in Brazil!

    Hi there,

    Whilst we don’t officially support WPML for the WooCommerce extensions there is compatibility.

    As you can see here on WPML’s site : https://wpml.org/documentation/woocommerce-extensions-compatibility/?wpv_view_count=627943&wpv_post_search=bookings&wpv_filter_submit=Search

    It does state that it is compatible.

    It maybe worth reaching out to them if there is something specific that isn’t translating as it should.

    Hope that helps.
