BookPilot AI lets you accept and manage appointments directly from your WordPress site. Build a fully branded booking experience — no third-party redirect required.
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Services & staff — Create unlimited services with custom pricing, duration, and capacity. Assign staff members with individual schedules and time-off.</li>
<li>Three booking views — Embed the booking widget in Grid, List, or Calendar layout via the included Elementor widget.</li>
<li>Payments — Accept Cash/Pay on Arrival, PayPal Standard, or Stripe. Optionally route everything through WooCommerce for unified order management.</li>
<li>Coupons — Create percentage or fixed-amount discount codes with expiry dates and usage limits.</li>
<li>Notifications manager — A dedicated Notifications screen to create unlimited custom email notifications. Choose action-based triggers (approved, pending, rejected, cancelled, details changed, rescheduled) or scheduled reminders/follow-ups (X minutes before/after the appointment), filter by service and appointment status, send to multiple recipients (client, staff, admins, custom address), and write the message with a full rich text editor and dynamic placeholders.</li>
<li>Staff widget — Show your team in a Grid or List with five layout presets (Card, Overlay, Minimal, Classic, Compact), columns, ordering, pagination, AJAX category filter chips, and a built-in “Book Now” popup that opens the booking flow pre-filtered to that staff member’s services.</li>
<li>Works in any page builder — Use the <code>[bpai_staff]</code> shortcode in Gutenberg, WPBakery, Divi, Beaver Builder, or the Classic editor — not just Elementor.</li>
<li>iCal export — Let customers add their appointment to any calendar app.</li>
<li>Elementor widgets — Style every aspect of the booking and staff widgets (colours, typography, card layout, button, calendar) with Elementor’s visual controls. No coding required.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin optionally connects to the following third-party services:
<h4>Stripe (optional)</h4>
If you enable Stripe payments in Settings → Payments, the plugin loads the Stripe.js library from <code>https://js.stripe.com/v3/</code> on any page that contains the booking form. This is required by Stripe for PCI DSS compliance; bundling Stripe.js locally is prohibited by Stripe’s terms.
When a customer submits a booking with Stripe as the payment method, their card details are sent directly from the browser to Stripe’s servers to create a Payment Intent. No card data passes through your WordPress server. The plugin sends the Payment Intent amount and currency to Stripe’s API (<code>https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_intents</code>) using your configured secret key.

<li><a href="https://stripe.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Stripe Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>PayPal (optional)</h4>
If you enable PayPal payments, customers are redirected to PayPal’s hosted checkout page to complete payment. No payment data is processed on your server.
