Directorist - Booking

Directorist – Booking turns listings on a Directorist directory site into booking systems for appointment-based services, hotel reservations, and event bookings. Visitors can submit booking details through customizable forms, while site managers can view and edit bookings from a central dashboard. The forms can be tailored to collect information suited to the business and its reservation process.

The plugin includes availability management to display current openings and help prevent double bookings. Booking rules can define durations, buffer times, maximum bookings per day, and cancellation policies. Payment options include PayPal, Stripe, and offline payments. Email or SMS reminders can be sent to clients and service providers, and customers can view their booking history.
