WordPress Booking Calendar

Manage upcoming appointments from a centralized booking dashboard. The booking calendar helps administrators review scheduled appointments, customer information, selected services, staff members, booking status, and payment information.

Glitzy Booking Suite works as an online appointment scheduler directly inside WordPress. Customers can view available booking slots and complete the appointment process from your website without needing a separate booking platform.

Staff and Service Booking

Create multiple services, set service duration and pricing, add staff members, and manage staff availability. Customers can choose a service and an available staff member during the booking process.

Recurring Appointments

Allow repeat customers to create recurring appointments. This is useful for coaching sessions, treatments, classes, consultations, wellness appointments, and other services that customers book regularly.

Online Payments

The plugin can accept booking payments through optional Stripe and PayPal integrations. On-site payment can also be offered when online payment is not required.

Booking Notifications

Send booking confirmation notifications to customers and administrators. Optional Twilio integration can also send SMS booking notifications.

Google Calendar Integration

When configured by the administrator, confirmed bookings can create events in Google Calendar to make appointment management easier.
