Bookwise Calendar

Simple Online Booking and Appointment Scheduling

Let people book you online, day or night. Services, staff, working hours, emails and reminders are built in. Add Stripe payments, text messages and Google Calendar sync when you need them.

Guided booking form

Visitors move through clear steps: service, person, date and time, then their details. They finish on a confirmation screen with a booking reference.

Live availability calendar

A month calendar shows which days still have free times. Pick a day and choose from the available time slots. Booked and blocked times are never offered.

Time zones handled

Visitors see times in their own time zone and can switch it on the form. You set your business time zone, and each staff member can have their own.

Services that fit your work

Name, description, duration (5 to 1440 minutes), buffer time before and after, a colour, sort order and an active switch for each service.

Multiple staff

Assign each person to the services they offer, give them weekly hours (including split shifts and breaks), days off and their own time zone.

“Any available person”

Let visitors pick a person, or choose any. Bookings are then spread evenly, or go to the first free person in your staff order.

Rules you control

Minimum notice, how far ahead people can book, time slot interval, business holidays, and whether new bookings start as pending or confirmed.

Bookings list and admin calendar

See every booking with status filters, search and bulk actions. Switch the admin calendar between month, week and day, filter by staff, and add or reschedule bookings yourself.

Automatic emails

Seven email types for customers and your team, with editable subject and message, merge tags, preview and test send. Confirmations can include a calendar (.ics) file.

Reminders

Send reminders before the appointment at the hours you choose, for example 24 and 1.

Customer cancel and reschedule

Every email links to a secure “Manage your booking” page. Set how many hours before the start customers can still cancel or reschedule, or switch it off.

Spam protection and privacy tools

Honeypot field, form time check, nonce and rate limits on the booking form. Booking data is covered by the WordPress personal data export and erase tools, and an optional consent checkbox is available.

Roles for your team

Adds “Bookwise Manager” (sees all bookings) and “Bookwise Staff” (sees only the bookings of the linked staff member) roles.

Shortcode and block

Place the form with the “Bookwise Booking Form” block or the [bookwise_booking] shortcode. Optionally lock it to one service or one person.

Make it yours

Choose the accent colour, set a location shown in emails and calendar files, add consent text with a link, and edit every email. Translation-ready.

Online payments with Stripe Checkout

Per service: no payment, full amount, or a deposit (fixed or percent). Customers pay on Stripe’s hosted page. Unpaid bookings hold the time slot for a period you choose, then release it. A verified webhook confirms payment, and you can refund, or refund automatically on cancel.

Text messages with Twilio

Confirmation and reminder texts (24 hours and 1 hour before by default), sent only to customers who tick the consent box. Phone numbers are normalised to international format.

Google Calendar sync

Pushes bookings to Google Calendar and imports Google busy times to block availability; changes made in Google are not synced back.

Discount codes

Percent or fixed amount, usage limit, valid-from and valid-until dates, optionally limited to chosen services. The form shows a discount code box once a code exists.

Custom intake questions

Add questions per service: short text, long text, choice list or tick box, required or optional. Answers appear in booking details and in the emails.

Special days

Set special working hours, or a day off, for a single date for any staff member, on top of the weekly hours and time off.
