BookingMachine is a quote-first booking engine for local service businesses – car detailing, pool cleaning, pressure washing, lawn care, house cleaning, pest control, and more.

This plugin lets you embed your BookingMachine booking widget on any WordPress page using shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, or WPBakery. Your customers can:

Browse your services
Get an instant price quote
Pick a date and time
Book and pay online

Why BookingMachine?

Customers see pricing instantly (no forms, no waiting)
Higher conversion rates vs traditional booking forms
Built for service businesses that price based on job size, not fixed slots

No booking logic runs in WordPress. The plugin loads a lightweight (~5KB) script that renders the BookingMachine hosted booking widget. All pricing, availability, and payment processing happens on BookingMachine servers.
