Course Booking System Plugin

There are many booking systems on the market. The booking systems often have many advantages. However, one disadvantage that should not be underestimated is that many booking systems are so general that they do not address special features and individual needs of you. At ComMotion we have developed an individual course and online booking system that takes into account the special features of your company.

Our individual course and online booking system already comes with a lot of things, such as the online purchase of single tickets or 10-tickets with different payment methods, the display of a timetable and the offer of a video library. We will be happy to implement any further requests together with you, so that in the end you will receive exactly THE booking system that you need. The following features are included in our course and online booking system:

Integration

The system fully supports WooCommerce. Part of the booking system is a powerful online shop that leaves nothing to be desired. You can sell everything from single cards to mixed cards of 10 to subscriptions.

Attendance indicator

Every course or appointment has a current utilization indicator. This gives you full control over all appointments.

Customer account

Each customer receives individual access. This means that he has an overview of all appointments and bookings and can make purchases in the online shop.

Permanent appointments and subscriptions

You can enter permanent appointments (subscription or permanent place) for certain customers and thus reward your regular customers.

Opening times and timetable

The system fully supports WooCommerce. Part of the booking system is a powerful online shop that leaves nothing to be desired. You can sell everything from single cards to mixed cards of 10 to subscriptions.

Advantages of the individual course and online booking system from ComMotion

The advantages are apparent. With a booking system that is perfectly tailored to you, you and your entire team not only save more time because the administrative effort is lower, but you also give your customers an extremely professional impression. Our booking system can be fully integrated into your existing page on a website with the well-known CMS WordPress. Through the online shop, which we can integrate into your website in addition to the booking system, you will sell your products, cards and offers online in the future – 24 hours a day.

A nice side effect: thanks to the optional status display, customers can see whether places are still available and can register for appointments at short notice. This ensures that your courses and appointments are fully utilized.
