The premium add-on adds features that this free plugin does not include (such as online payment gateways, WhatsApp notifications, Google Calendar sync, automated email reminders, blocked dates, customer self-service portal, reviews, revenue reports, iCal export and REST API access).
The premium add-on is not required. The free plugin is complete and has no time limits, usage limits, or feature locks.

The plugin also does not load any JavaScript or CSS from remote CDNs — Chart.js, FullCalendar and Cropper.js are bundled with the plugin and served from your own site.

VibeReserve Booking Light

Free appointment & booking plugin for salons, spas, clinics & service businesses. Manage bookings, staff, services & schedules in one place.

salon.de

salon.de provides you with an online widget for your salon that allows customers to ask for appointments quickly and easily. In order to enable your customers to recieve appointments from your website you have to integrate the codesnippets provided by salon.de.
With this plugin you do not have to manually add these codesnippets to your site. Instead you can type shortcodes directly into the wysiwyg-editor and/or insert the shortcodes through a menu button in the toolbar of the TinyMCE editor (only in visual mode). You can also integrate a button on your pages in the same way (which you should link to the page of the widget).
The shortcodes are:
[salon.de-widget] [salon.de-review] [salon.de-button]
If you need to use more than one widget:
[salon.de-widget-2] [salon.de-review-2] [salon.de-widget-3] [salon.de-review-3] [salon.de-widget-4] [salon.de-review-4] [salon.de-widget-5] [salon.de-review-5]
<h4>Why Use It?</h4>
Instead of adding whole codesnippets for your salon.de widget/review/button to your website you can use shortcodes.

salon.de widget

Add one or more salon.de widgets/reviews and/or a button to your website.
