<p>The Pinpoint booking calendar can be customized to a great extent: the client can select how many months to view in the calendar and there is a sidebar, where your customers can search for availability, select the number of rooms or items that they need, use coupons or select extras.</p>
<p>Your client is able to see a summary of their reservation and, if necessary, you can add a custom form that they can fill in – directly in the booking calendar.</p>

<h3>Reservations management</h3>
<p>Booking management has never been easier. Booking calendar administrators can add, cancel, edit, reject or delete reservation requests. Bookings can be instantly approved or rejected, but can never overlap – and the booking calendar will update accordingly.</p>
<p>You can choose between a list view or a calendar view to display your clients’ reservations, and they can be printed or exported in 4 types of formats – CSV, XLS, JSON, and ICS.</p>
<h3>BOOKING CALENDAR EXTENSIONS</h3>
<h4>Extras</h4>
<p>With Pinpoint, you can add extra amenities, services or others to your client’s bookings, either with a price or for free. You can set default values for the extras, and whether they are mandatory or not. Also, multiple extras groups can be made to be used with your booking calendar.</p>
<h4>Forms</h4>
<p>In case you need more information from your clients, you can create a custom form that your customers can fill in directly in the booking calendar. You can have text fields, text areas, checkboxes, dropdowns and even custom fields in your form. It’s worth knowing that you can create an unlimited number of custom forms for your calendar.</p>
<h4>Discounts</h4>
<p>In this booking calendar, you can create discounts according to the time interval the reservation is made for. You can decide how the discounts will be calculated – once by day or hour, fixed or a percent – and their default amount.</p>
<h4>Taxes and fees</h4>
<p>If reserving your product or service comes with extra taxes or fees – you can add them to your booking calendar. You can decide their value, and if they will be included or not in the overall reservation price.</p>
<h4>Coupons</h4>
<p>Another useful feature Pinpoint has is the creating of vouchers or coupons for your customers. You can set their default value, the terms and conditions of how they can be used and add them directly into the booking calendar.</p>
<h3>WooCommerce Bookings</h3>
<p>This booking calendar can be greatly extended with the WooCommerce plug-in. With this, you can make the most of the shopping cart, the specific payment gateways and all the other extra features that come with the WooCommerce WordPress plug-in. Additionally, all your reservations data is saved both in Pinpoint and WooCommerce orders.</p>

<h3>Other WordPress Booking System Features</h3>
<h4>Synchronization via iCal files</h4>
<p>For better reservation management, the Pinpoint Booking Calendar can be synchronized with other calendars – Mac Calendar, Outlook, Google Calendar, iCalendar or Airbnb, via iCal format data.</p>
<h4>Notifications for Booking Requests</h4>
<p>You can send your clients’ reminders and notifications form your booking calendar, either by email or SMS.  You can set up text messages to be sent, either to you or your customers – with Clickatell SMS gateway. For an email notification, you can create custom templates for any type of notice or language, and they will be sent with STMP, PHPMailer class or PHP mail function.</p>
<h4>Support for multiple languages</h4>
<p>If your local language is different from English, or you need to offer your services in multiple languages, the Pinpoint booking system offers support for a couple of languages already. However, if you find that yours is not, you can modify or translate your own texts with a simple “to-do” tool.</p>
<h4>Support for multiple currencies</h4>
<p>You can use any currency with our Pinpoint booking system. However, if you need to, you can customize your own currency to fit your needs, using hooks.</p>
<h4>Online Payment Getaways</h4>
<p>Even though payment cannot be mandatory when a client makes a reservation, it can be an option. With this booking calendar, PayPal is the default payment method, but if you have another preference, you can change that with add-ons. There are 6 payment gateways to choose from  – Stripe, WePay, 2Checkout, Authorize.Net, Braintree, ICEPAY and Mollie.</p>

Pinpoint Booking System – Version 2

The plugin has major problems with multilingual sites.
I bought the PRO version and technical support never responds.
The worst technical support!

Customer support non-existent


I think the only thing still functioning with this organization is their ability to take your money. While the plugin works fairly well if you don't want to accept payments on its own, its paid Authorize.net plugin is broken, as is its included PayPal functionality. The changelog for the plugin was last updated in 2018 and it relies on an obsolete version of omnipay.



Multiple support requests to try to get it working went unanswered.



Plugins die, I get that, but if the thing doesn't work, don't accept money for it. That's why I consider Pinpoint, "The #1 WordPress Booking Plugin," fradulent. If you find yourself in our position its worth it to call your bank and try to claw your money back.



It's a shame too, because there's a lot to be said for the UX of this plugin. The UI is out-dated and not super accessible, but you can tell that at some point a talented team cared about this plugin.






Inoperable payments and no support
