WhenPilot is a lightweight appointment booking plugin for small businesses — salons, clinics, consultants, tutors. Everything stays on your own site; there is no third-party booking service.
Features
<ul>
<li>Define services (name, duration, optional price, description).</li>
<li>Set your weekly opening hours in a simple text format (e.g. <code>Mo-Fr 09:00-17:00</code>).</li>
<li>Visitors book with the <code>[whenpilot]</code> shortcode: pick a service, a date, and a free time slot computed from your hours and existing bookings.</li>
<li>Double-booking prevention: slots are re-validated on the server before saving, with a configurable capacity (e.g. number of staff).</li>
<li>Admin inbox: see upcoming/pending/confirmed/cancelled bookings, confirm, cancel or delete.</li>
<li>Email confirmations to the customer and a notification to you, plus emails when you confirm or cancel.</li>
<li>Configurable lead time, how far ahead people can book, currency label and an optional auto-confirm.</li>
<li>Uses your site’s timezone. Works with any theme.</li>
</ul>
Usage: create a page, add the shortcode <code>[whenpilot]</code>, and publish.
All features described above are fully functional in this plugin — no time limits, no usage caps, no locked options. WhenPilot does not connect to any external service. A separately distributed companion plugin offers additional features (multiple staff/resources with custom fields, automatic email reminders) but is not required for the plugin to work.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
Bookings (name, email, optional phone and notes) are stored in your own database and emailed to you and the customer. No data is sent to any third party.

WhenPilot

Self-hosted appointment booking: services, weekly hours, free-slot picking, double-booking prevention and email confirmations.

<h4>Vik Booking for WordPress</h4>
The famous Booking Engine and PMS online software for accommodations is now available also for WordPress as a native Plugin!
If you are looking for a reliable reservation system for a Hotel, B&B, Villa, Apartments, Hostel or any similar accommodation, then you have found the right plugin. In fact, Vik Booking is a PCI-DSS and OpenTravel compliant hotel & vacation rental Booking Engine used by thousands of properties every day.
This is the free version of the plugin, but you can upgrade to the Pro version at any time from your wp-admin section. Experience the power of a true and internal Booking Engine that competes with the best ones of the world!
The Pro version is compatible with Vik Channel Manager, the first and only native Channel Manager for WordPress, listed as a Premier Partner of Booking.com since 2018 among the top 20 systems worldwide. Full API connections available with the most famous OTAs such as Airbnb, Expedia and Google Hotel for their new Free Booking Links! Beware of “fake” Channel Manager plugins that only offer unreliable iCal synchronizations with no private access to the OTA’s APIs.
Vik Booking was born in 2010 for a different web-software (CMS) than WordPress, and that’s how it became famous. The same powerful framework is now (since 2018) at the service of all webmasters, designers and web-agencies that work with WordPress. It’s definitely the hotel reservation plugin that you, or your client, were looking for.
