Description
Sell dates instead of stock. A holiday home, a bike, a kayak or a meeting room: the customer picks an arrival and a departure on the product page, and pays for the days or the nights in between.
No new product type to learn. One checkbox on a product you already have makes it bookable. The rest of your shop stays exactly the same: the same cart, checkout, payment methods, coupons, taxes, orders and e-mails.
β¨ Why shop owners choose it
- π·οΈ One checkbox turns a simple, variable or grouped product into a rental
- π Days or nights, with one date or an arrival and a departure
- π Your rules, set once for the shop and changed for any product or variation
- π Your usual checkout, with every payment method you already offer
- ποΈ A clear view of every booking, on a list and on a month calendar
- π Five languages out of the box: English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese
βοΈ Booking rules for the whole shop, exceptions for any product
Set the booking rules once for the shop. Any product, and any variation of a variable product, can then keep them or set its own.
- β One date, or two dates for an arrival and a departure
- β Charged per day or per night
- β Bookings sold several days or nights at a time, such as a full week
- β A shortest and a longest booking
- β How soon bookings open, and how far ahead they close
- β A switch making every product bookable, except those saved with their own box unticked
ποΈ A booking form your customers understand
- π A date picker built into the plugin, with nothing loaded from another service
- π« Dates outside the allowed period cannot be picked
- π― Once an arrival is picked, only the departures giving an allowed length can be chosen
- πΆ The length of the booking and the total price update as the dates change
- π¨ The dates sit under the price or behind a link, in the colours of your shop
- π± Works on phones as well as computers
π Everything under control after the sale
- π¨ The dates follow the booking into the cart, the checkout, the order and the order e-mails
- π Every rule is checked again before the order is taken, whatever the customer typed
- π A list of the bookings with their order, product, dates, length and quantity, filtered by status and by date
- ποΈ A month calendar showing each booking across the days it takes up
- π Five steps in the life of a booking: booked, arriving, out now, just back and completed. Each step moves on its own with the calendar, or waits for you, as you choose
- βοΈ The dates of a booking can be corrected from its order while the order is unpaid or on hold
- β©οΈ Cancelling the order frees the booking
- π οΈ A repair tool rebuilds the bookings from the orders if they ever fall out of step
- π§Ή An option to delete all the plugin’s data when it is deleted, off by default so nothing is ever lost by accident
π Ready for the WooCommerce of today
- β‘ Compatible with the cart and checkout blocks
- ποΈ Compatible with the high-performance order storage
- π Translated into French, German, Spanish and Japanese
Screenshots








Installation
- Install the plugin from the Plugins screen of WordPress, or upload it to the
/wp-content/plugins/folder. - Activate it. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
- Open the Settings page of the Bookings menu and set the rules of the shop.
- Open a product, click the Booking tab of the Product data box, tick Bookable, and update the product.
That’s it: the product page now asks for dates instead of going straight to the cart.
FAQ
-
Does it require WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
-
Can customers book hours or time slots?
-
No. The plugin sells whole days or nights, for rentals and stays. There is no time of day in it.
-
How is the price calculated?
-
The price of the product is multiplied by the number of days or nights booked, then by the quantity. Coupons and taxes apply as usual.
-
Does it stop two customers from booking the same dates?
-
No. Every booking is recorded and shown on the list and on the calendar, but the plugin does not compare the dates of one booking with the others.
-
Which products can be booked?
-
Simple, variable and grouped products. Each variation of a variable product can hold rules of its own.
-
Does it change my checkout?
-
No. The customer goes through the usual WooCommerce cart and checkout, with every payment method the shop already offers.
-
Which languages does it come in?
-
English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

Changelog
1.0.1
Added
- A setting to delete every booking, setting and product rule when the plugin is deleted. It is off by default, so nothing is lost unless the shop asks for it.
- Once an arrival is picked, only the departures giving an allowed length can be chosen, and a departure that no longer fits a new arrival is cleared.
- The dates of a booking can be corrected from its order while the order is unpaid or on hold. The price of the line stays as it was, and dates no stay could have are refused with a message.
- The list of bookings can be narrowed to an arrival date and a departure date.
Changed
- The booking length, shortest and longest booking, and first and last dates carry plainer names and shorter help texts.
Fixed
- A variation with its own choice of one date or two now shows the right fields on the product page, and can be booked.
- The total shown under the dates on a variable product follows the variation picked, instead of the cheapest one.
- The length and the total now show on grouped products too.
- A booking moved to a step by hand stays there when its order changes status.
- The month calendar shows the bookings of the 1st, and its title always names the month on screen.
- The Every product box on the settings screen lines up with its title.
1.0.0
Added
- First release: any WooCommerce product can be sold by date, with an arrival and a departure or a single day, charged per day or per night, under rules set for the whole shop and changed for any product or variation.
