Start Booking Team

<h4>Online scheduling and booking plugin</h4>
<p>At Start Booking, we believe that a simple online booking experience is critical to any highly converting website. <a href="https://www.startbooking.com/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plugindescription" title="Start Booking" rel="friend nofollow ugc">Start Booking</a> is a WordPress booking plugin that is focused on helping individuals and businesses manage customers, book more appointments, and sell their services.</p>
<p>The appointment scheduling plugin seamlessly connects with the Start Booking cloud platform to power your online booking and display your services or classes anywhere on your WordPress site. The plugin has been developed to adopt and inherit your WordPress theme styles, so minimal (if any) updates are needed to give your website a performant and professional looking booking calendar.</p>
<p>With appointment booking from Start Booking, you will find a nice balance between the booking tools available to you straight from the WordPress admin and that which is available from within the Start Booking platform itself. From our experience, most businesses don’t want to run the day-day of their business directly within their WordPress admin. Because of this, we developed the Start Booking <a href="https://www.startbooking.com/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plugindescription" title="online scheduling software" rel="friend nofollow ugc">online scheduling software</a> to help you manage your services, appointments, classes and business better while leveraging your WordPress website as a tool and integral part of the experience.</p>
<h3>Embedding the booking system</h3>
<p>Once the plugin is installed, there are a few options for displaying your booking calendar. If you are using the Gutenberg editor (WordPress 5.0+), you will have the option to use our blocks to embed your booking form. If you are not using Gutenber, we still support shortcodes for the legacy booking experience.</p>
<h4>Gutenberg Blocks</h4>
<p>To use the Gutenberg blocks, navigate to any page or post that you want to display your booking form.</p>
<h4>Services Block</h4>
<p>The first and most popular option is the services block. This block will display a booking flow (which is configurable) for a user to select a service and date they want to book and the plugin will return available openings based on your Start Booking settings.</p>
<h4>Single Service Availability</h4>
<p>The second appointment booking option is a lot like the services block except with the single service availability shortcode, you predefine what service you want selected so that the user skips selecting a service and only selects a date & time.</p>
<p>Example usage for this would be if you have single pages on your website for each of your services. You could embed the single service availability shortcode directly into each page so your user could book that service in context. This really helps your user by not having to search for the service in the general service availability booking experience.</p>
<p>To use this shortcode, place <code>[startbooking_cta services="YOUR SERVICE ID" ]Book Now[/startbooking_cta]</code> shortcode in your post, page, widget etc. Be sure to replace “YOUR SERVICE ID” with your actual service ID. You can view your service ID’s directly from the plugin wp-admin settings page. Lastly, you can add multiple service ID’s (comma separated) to have a bundle of services preselected for booking appointments.</p>
<h4>Class & Group Booking Block</h4>
<p>The third booking calendar option is to display a list of your classes that your users can join. Classes can be anything from yoga classes to group meetups. The main difference between the service and class booking experiences is that services will display to your customers available openings (times that you have open) where as the classes experience displays times that were predefined and can support multiple users joining a class.</p>
<p>To use the the classes block, add the block in any of your posts or pages that you want.</p>
<p>For each of these options, there are additional settings such as the ability to change the booking button colors so they better match the look of your online calendar, changing the text in the flow, etc. To learn more about the available options of the <a href="https://www.startbooking.com/wordpress-booking-plugin/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plugindescription" title="WordPress booking plugin" rel="friend nofollow ugc">WordPress booking plugin</a> please visit the <a href="https://help.startbooking.com/category/5-wordpress?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plugindescription" title="Start Booking WordPress Articles" rel="friend nofollow ugc">Start Booking WordPress plugin knowledge base</a>.</p>
<h3>Booking Integrations</h3>

<h4>Google Calendar (Two-way Sync)</h4>

<h4>Mailchimp</h4>

<h4>Webhooks</h4>

The webhooks are straightforward to set up and can be customized to meet individual requirements.
