Simply Schedule Appointments Plus

Set up appointment booking

Simply Schedule Appointments Plus, Professional, and Business are paid editions of the WordPress appointment booking extension. Create appointment types for phone calls, in-person or virtual meetings, coaching, consultations, interviews, classes, and services. Set availability, advanced scheduling options, and blackout dates so clients can choose an open time and submit the details requested in your booking form.

Add calendars to WordPress pages or posts with the [ssa_booking] shortcode, the Block Editor, Elementor widgets, Beaver Builder modules, or Divi modules. Styling and customization options help the booking calendar fit your website.

Choose scheduling options for your workflow

Group and class bookings let a time slot accept bookings up to a defined capacity. Booking Flows let you choose from available booking steps and layouts. Google Calendar Sync checks a personal calendar for conflicts and lets you customize calendar events.

Team booking lets staff receive appointments and customize their schedules. Resource booking can schedule meeting rooms, rental entries such as bikes or tables, and maximum occupancy. Choose these options when appointments need to account for staff availability or shared resources.

Connect payments, forms, and follow-up

Stripe and PayPal integrations can collect payment during scheduling. Mailchimp can add people from a booking form as contacts in an audience, while Twilio works with SMS notifications and reminders. Gravity Forms and Formidable Forms integrations support more complex booking forms; Gravity Wiz Perks is also listed among the paid integrations.

For virtual appointments, connect Zoom or Google Meet. Webex is also listed as an available integration. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager can track booking form conversions. Webhooks can be triggered by appointment actions and connected to Zapier or Make, while ICS Subscription Feeds sync incoming bookings with personal calendar applications.

Other listed connections include The Events Calendar, Project Panorama, LifterLMS, WP Fusion Automations, and Facebook Pixel.
