Your Time.
Beautifully Booked.

Create a service, assign staff, and set availability. Then add the Core Bookings block to a page or share the standalone service link. No custom code is needed for the native booking form.

Yes. Both the lifetime and yearly licenses allow unlimited site activations. Each installation manages its own bookings, staff schedules, and license activation.

Yes. Use one-to-one services for individual appointments or group sessions with a seat limit. Each service can have its own duration, staff, and payment rules.

Set weekly working hours, split shifts, date-specific overrides, time off, buffers, minimum notice, and the booking window. Customers can choose their timezone; you review appointments in your WordPress timezone.

Yes. Customers use private management links to change or cancel an appointment within your cutoff. They can also sign in by email to a dashboard with booking history, payment status, pack credits, and book-again links.

It inherits your theme's font family. The block editor lets you adjust text, colors, spacing, corners, and layout, as well as the fields you display.

Yes. Customize the plain-text confirmation and reminder templates using booking placeholders. Core Bookings queues delivery and lets you review email issues. Reliable delivery depends on your WordPress mail configuration and scheduled jobs.

Yes. Use a Core Bookings JSON export, a CSV file with the Calendly, Acuity, or custom mapping option, or a direct import from Amelia, Bookly, or LatePoint on the same site. Review duplicates, conflicts, and mappings before importing. Imports do not send booking notifications.

Yes. A lifetime license keeps its lifetime validity and unlimited site allowance. There is no recurring license fee, and lifetime updates are included.

The offer is shown in USD. Supported local currencies are available at checkout, where you can review the final amount before paying.

Activate your license in WordPress to receive available plugin updates. Your account provides the plugin download and license key; use the Product Support page when you need help.

No. Cancelling and refunding are separate actions. Managers refund bookings paid through Stripe, PayPal, Polar, Paddle, or Dodo Payments from the appointment, in full or in part, and follow the refund status there. FluentCart order refunds stay in FluentCart.

Yes. A recurring booking can reserve up to 52 one-to-one sessions, every one to four weeks or monthly. Session packs let customers buy credits through Stripe or FluentCart and redeem them for appointments or group seats. Memberships add monthly or yearly plans with credits.

Enable a waitlist for the service. Customers verify their email, then receive a private offer when an eligible space opens. The offer reserves capacity for up to 15 minutes. Joining the waitlist does not create a confirmed appointment or take payment.

Yes. Enable approval for a service to review requests before confirmation, for every request or only short-notice, first-time, or high-value ones. With Stripe, choose when the customer pays: after approval, with a card hold at booking that is charged only when you approve, or at booking with an automatic refund if you decline. You can also offer automatic staff assignment from the available staff members assigned to the service.

Staff can connect one or more Google accounts, Microsoft 365 (Outlook), and iCloud or any CalDAV calendar for conflict checks, and choose where new bookings go. Services can create Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams links. Zoom and Microsoft 365 use your own app registrations. Each staff member also gets a private calendar feed.

No. Core Bookings includes its own booking form. If you use Core Forms, you can add a selected intake form to the private booking page and attach selected answers to the appointment. Customers do not have to copy a booking code. File attachments are not copied into Core Bookings.

Yes. Take a percentage or fixed-amount deposit through Stripe, PayPal, Polar, Paddle, Dodo Payments, or FluentCart. Stripe and FluentCart customers can pay the remaining balance online from their private booking page. For PayPal, Polar, Paddle, and Dodo Payments bookings, collect the balance in person for now. Core Bookings never charges a balance automatically.

Configure your services, staff, availability, mail delivery, and scheduled jobs. Add your Stripe, Google, or Zoom credentials for the integrations you use, then test those flows on staging with your own accounts before accepting customer bookings.

Core Bookings requires WordPress 6.9 or newer, PHP 8.3 with Sodium, and MySQL or MariaDB with InnoDB. Scheduled reminders depend on your site's cron setup.

Optional parts of Core Bookings, such as teams, classes, locations, payments, reports, and AI agents. All twenty come with every license. Switch them on in Settings, and a module that's off loads nothing on your site.

Free, pay offline, Stripe Checkout or embedded payment, PayPal, Polar, Paddle, Dodo Payments, and FluentCart. Each service picks one. Stripe can offer cards and wallets, or every method you switch on in your Stripe Dashboard. Polar, Paddle, and Dodo Payments act as merchant of record and handle sales tax for you. Provider fees are separate.

Yes. Group services get a class timetable with seats left, ticket types with their own limits, courses booked as one, attendee names, rosters, and QR check-in.

Yes. Switch on the AI agents module and connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through the free Site Agent plugin or any MCP client. Agents can find times, book, approve requests, and read your day, with exactly the permissions of the WordPress user who connected them.

Yes. List the websites that may show it, then paste one snippet into Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, or plain HTML. The form runs from your WordPress site, so availability, payments, and emails work as usual. See the embed guide.

No. Core Bookings works on its own with any theme. You can sell bookings through FluentCart if you already use it.
