Baza Booking Calendar turns a page of your site into a booking calendar. Clients pick a free date and hour, fill in a short form and pay online; you see the booking at once in a table, a timeline and a dashboard, and change its status in a click.

Video: Baza Booking Calendar and its paid plans in action

What you get

A booking calendar for your site with free and busy hours, prices on the slots and a short booking form.
The calendar as a shortcode and as a widget in Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Breakdance, Oxygen and SiteOrigin: choose the service, the design, hours or month view right in the editor.
Booking buttons for any editor: any button, image or menu item opens the booking in a window (centred, or sliding in from the left or right) for one service or all of them – set a link such as #bbc-book-12 or a CSS class, no widget needed. Or use [baza_booking_calendar_button].
Your services as cards: [baza_booking_calendar_services] shows each service with its photo gallery, description, prices by the hour, sub-services and a Book button, in columns or a list.
Hourly, split-hour and whole-day services, as many as you need.
Online payment with PayPal and Monobank, or pay in the shop with any WooCommerce payment method.
WooCommerce integration: sell a service as a product of the type “Baza booking”, let clients choose the date and time on the product page, and import products and bookings from WooCommerce Bookings.
A bookings table with filters and bulk actions, a day timeline and a dashboard; open any booking in a side panel to edit dates, price, client and status.
A client list with each client’s bookings, notes and blocking.
E-mail notifications to clients and to you, with a log of every message the site sent.
Working hours for every day of the week and the days a service is closed.
A form builder for the booking form’s standard fields, with your own texts.
A discount you can give by hand when you enter a booking.
Printable booking documents, import and export of bookings and clients, and an editor for every text the calendar shows.
Translated into English, Ukrainian, Russian, German, Polish, Portuguese and Slovak.
Light and dark admin themes, and a calendar that follows your site’s colours.
Two calendar themes, Standard and Dark, drawn from the colours, radius and fonts you set in Design.

Free or Pro: what is where

Free – everything above, and yours without a licence:
* The calendar, the bookings table, clients, working hours and e-mail notifications.
* As many services as you need, PayPal and Monobank, WooCommerce integration, the form builder with the preset fields.
* The themes Standard and Dark, with all the colours, radius and fonts of the Design settings.
* The booking window and its triggers (link, CSS class or shortcode on any button), the services-as-cards shortcode and the widgets for the nine page builders listed above.

Paid plans – added on top:
* More themes. Lumino, and Amelio and Weekio: step-by-step booking layouts – choose the service, then the time, then your details, with the order, the price calculation and the payment method always in view (under it on a phone). Weekio also keeps the cart of several services in one booking and the add-ons by date inside the booking window, in the same pane.
* The features listed under Starter, Pro and Elite below: more payment gateways and deposits, taxes, packages, schedules and prices per service, second price, a cart, additional services, reminders, Telegram / WhatsApp / Viber / SMS, Google Calendar and Zoom, Zapier and a REST API, accounting, statistics and the customer account.

The free plugin is complete on its own: nothing in it is locked or time-limited, and it does not stop working. Paid themes and features switch on with a licence key.

Made for developers too

Hooks and filters throughout, templates a theme can override for the WooCommerce booking picker, and a documented data model.

External services

The plugin talks to an outside service only when you turn the matching feature on, and only as described here. Nothing is sent when the plugin is activated, and no data is sent to the plugin’s authors.

PayPal – https://www.paypal.com – online payments (only when PayPal is chosen as the payment method under Baza Booking > General Settings > Payments).
* What it is for: taking the client’s payment for a booking, checking its status and, when you refund a booking, returning the money.
* What is sent, and when: when a client presses “Book and pay”, and again when PayPal sends the client back or when a booking’s payment is re-checked or refunded, the plugin sends the order amount, the currency, the booking reference and your PayPal API credentials to api-m.paypal.com (api-m.sandbox.paypal.com in test mode). The client then enters their card or PayPal details on PayPal’s own page; the plugin never sees them.
* Terms of service: https://www.paypal.com/legalhub/paypal/useragreement-full
* Privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

Monobank acquiring – https://api.monobank.ua – online payments (only when Monobank is chosen as the payment method).
* What it is for: creating an invoice that the client pays on Monobank’s page, checking whether it was paid, and removing an invoice that is no longer needed.
* What is sent, and when: when a client presses “Book and pay” the plugin creates an invoice (api.monobank.ua/api/merchant/invoice/create) with the amount, the currency, the order number, the names of the booked services (as the invoice’s description and basket line) and the return and notification addresses on your site; after that it asks for the invoice’s status (invoice/status) when the client comes back and from a short background re-check; when an unpaid booking expires or is cancelled it removes the invoice (invoice/remove). Your Monobank merchant token travels in the request header. The client enters their card on Monobank’s page.
* Terms of service and privacy policy: https://monobank.ua/e-comm

Gravatar – https://gravatar.com – client pictures in the admin screens and the client’s account.
* What it is for: showing a client’s picture when they have one.
* What is sent, and when: when a picture is shown, a hash of the client’s e-mail address is used in the address of the image requested from gravatar.com. The e-mail address itself is not sent. Pictures a client uploads on your site are used first, and then no request is made.
