Crux – Direct Booking for Camps, Lodges & Retreats

The Crux plugin adds a “Book now” button to your WordPress site. Guests click it, and your Crux booking page slides in without leaving your site. They choose dates, a room or package, add extras like lessons, meals or airport transfers, and pay by card.

Built for surf and dive camps, yoga and wellness retreats, fishing and hunting lodges, and fitness and training camps: places where a stay is more than a room.

What guests get

• Live availability for your rooms, dorm beds and packages
• Packages and à la carte stays, with activities, meal plans and add-ons
• Card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay, paid straight to your own Stripe account
• Deposits at booking, with the balance payable online later
• A full-screen booking flow on phones

What you get

• A floating “Book now” button on every page, or buttons placed exactly where you want them with the Crux Book Button block or the [crux_booking_button] shortcode
• Buttons that use your theme’s button style
• Bookings, guests and payouts managed in your Crux dashboard
• No monthly fee: Crux charges a flat 5% on completed bookings

You need a Crux account to take bookings. Create one free.

External services

This plugin connects to Crux (https://crux.camp), the booking service it works with. Bookings can’t be made without it.

• In WordPress admin: when you save or view the plugin settings, your site requests https://crux.camp/api/book/<your property slug> to check that the property exists and show its name. Only the slug is sent.
• On your website: visitors’ browsers request the same address to load your brand color. When a visitor clicks a booking button, the booking page https://crux.camp/book/<your property slug> opens in a frame. Details a guest enters there (dates, name, email, phone, payment) go to Crux and to Stripe, Crux’s payment processor.
