Making your WooCommerce Bookable

WooCommerce is a powerful eCommerce plugin that enables you to sell anything online. And with the Booking & Appointment plugin, you can easily turn your WooCommerce store into a fully-fledged booking website. In this article, we’ll show you how to make your WooCommerce bookable.

Step 1: Install the Booking & Appointment Plugin

First, you’ll need to install the Booking & Appointment plugin. You can do this by going to the WordPress Plugin Directory and searching for “Booking & Appointment”. Once you’ve found the plugin, click “Install Now” and then activate it.

Step 2: Create a Bookable Product

Next, you’ll need to create a bookable product. To do this, go to your WordPress Dashboard and click on “Products”. Then, click “Add New”.

Give your product a name and description, and then scroll down to the “Product Data” section. Here, you’ll need to select “Bookable product” from the “Product Type” drop-down menu.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll see a new “Booking” tab appear. Click on that tab and you’ll be able to set up your bookable product.

Step 3: Set Up Your Booking Options

Now it’s time to set up your booking options. First, you’ll need to decide what kind of bookings you want to allow.

You can choose from one-time bookings or recurring bookings. For our example, we’re going to choose one-time bookings.

Next, you’ll need to set the duration of your bookings. For our example, we’re going to allow 1-hour bookings. But you can choose any duration you want.

Then, you’ll need to set the price for your bookings. You can either charge by the hour or set a fixed price for the entire booking.

For our example, we’re going to charge $50 for the entire booking. But again, you can choose any price you want.

Finally, you’ll need to choose when people can book your product. You can either allow people to book at any time or restrict booking to specific days or times.

For our example, we’re going to allow people to book at any time. But again, you can choose whatever option works best for you.

Once you’ve configured all of your booking options, click on the “Publish” button and your bookable product will be live on your WooCommerce store.

Conclusion

Making your WooCommerce store bookable is a great way to sell appointments or services online.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to make your WooCommerce store bookable, please be aware that there are some potential risks associated with this process. Specifically, if you do not carefully configure your bookable products and services, you could end up overbooking your inventory ordouble-booking appointments. Additionally, please be sure to test your bookable products and services thoroughly before making them available to customers, as there could be unforeseen issues that could cause customer inconvenience or frustration.
