Simply Schedule Appointments Plus

Appointment booking on WordPress

Simply Schedule Appointments Plus, Professional, and Business are paid editions of the Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress booking add-on. Customers can use its calendars to book phone calls, in-person or virtual meetings, coaching sessions, consultations, interviews, and services.

Create appointment types for various services, set availability, and use scheduling options or blackout dates to shape when clients can book. Customers choose an available time and submit the information requested in the booking form. Display calendars on WordPress pages and posts with the [ssa_booking] shortcode, the Block Editor, Elementor widgets, Beaver Builder modules, or Divi modules. Calendar styling and customization help match the surrounding site.

Paid capabilities for groups, staff, and resources

Group and class event bookings let a time slot accept bookings up to a set capacity. Booking Flows offer a selection of steps and layouts for arranging the booking process. Google Calendar Sync checks a personal calendar for conflicts and lets you tailor calendar events.

With team booking, staff members can receive bookings and customize their schedules. Resource booking can schedule meeting rooms, rental items such as bikes or tables, and maximum occupancy arrangements.

Payments, forms, meetings, and integrations

Stripe and PayPal integrations let businesses collect payment during scheduling. Twilio supports SMS notifications and reminders, while Mailchimp can add people from a booking form as contacts in an audience. Gravity Forms and Formidable Forms integrations support more complex booking forms; Gravity Wiz Perks is also listed among the paid integrations.

For virtual appointments, the plugin integrates with Zoom and Google Meet. Webex is also among the available integrations. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager can track booking form conversions. Webhooks can be triggered by appointment actions and connected to Zapier or Make. ICS Subscription Feeds sync incoming bookings with personal calendar applications.

Other WordPress connections include The Events Calendar, Project Panorama, LifterLMS, and WP Fusion Automations. These integrations can place appointment scheduling within an existing WordPress or business process.
