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.

<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.

BookPilot AI

A comprehensive booking management system for WordPress. Manage services, staff, appointments, payments, and notifications from one dashboard.

ERA404

A very light-weight plugin, designed to easily create and manage a staff directory on your WordPress theme. Admins can manage staff records by importing (from CSV) or editing records individually. Record columns may be reordered (or hidden). Directory is sortable by column header, paginated, searchable, and customizable (by subset of records or number of records per page) using simple shortcode attributes.
Simple, Straight-Forward
The plugin is very light-weight, but robust. It allows for the individual management of staff directory records, or append/replace using a simple CSV (comma-separated variables) document or Excel Spreadsheet.
<ul>
<li>Update five standard fields for each staff record (last name, first name, department, email, phone number)</li>
<li>Import from CSV or XLS allows administrators to keep their staff directory maintained, either by appending new records, or replacing the entire directory with an updated list</li>
<li>Fields are not required (and may be left blank) for general department mailboxes or numbers</li>
<li>Updates are performed on-the-fly, so no lengthy reloads are necessary</li>
<li>Design is split into separate stylesheet for ease of theming</li>
<li>No edit links or popups, just make your changes in-line</li>
<li>Case-insensitive substring search, with highlighted matches on front end</li>
<li>Uses jQuery/AJAX for page handling, sorting & searching without pageload (either on type, on enter, or both)</li>
<li>Tipsy is incorporated for contact cards, to display additional information about each StaffList record</li>
<li>StaffList can be placed into content editor using the shortcode [stafflist]</li>
<li>Multiple StaffLists are supported in a single page and are customizable by shortcode attribute (e.g.: [stafflist subset=”department:marketing”])</li>
<li>Language is customizable for standard column labels and other messaging</li>
</ul>
