FAQ

How can I embed the booking calendar on a page or post?

By using the ‘Add Calendar’ button above the editor, the Gutenberg module, a widget, or directly by using the shortcode. An example of the shortcode is:

[wpbs id="1" title="yes/no" legend="yes/no" language="auto" form_id="1"] 

Will this booking system work for me?

We’re pretty sure about that! We made this plugin as ‘flexible’ as possible. The booking plugin works with bookings on a per day basis (no time slots). So if you rent something out on a daily basis, then the WP Booking System is a good choice.
