Flexible, Fast, and Powerful Booking Calendars

Other appointment scheduling plugins are either too simple or too complicated. They lack the basic features you need and want to start booking, or, if they do have those features, as you grow and add services, staff, and locations, they become complex and confusing to use for booking.

Simply Schedule Appointments offers fully responsive booking calendars and works efficiently on any device – even touch screens. Our WordPress booking plugin will work dependably and reliably, whether you’re managing your appointment availability from your tablet or your customer is booking an appointment from their smartphone.

User-Friendly and Accessible Booking System

Our WordPress booking calendar system was designed with people in mind, first and foremost. So we’re always thinking about how people will be using our appointment scheduling plugin, what they’ll expect, and what booking features they’ll want and need.

This WordPress booking calendar system is built with you and your customer in mind and is accessible for everyone. We believe appointment scheduling should be as clear and straightforward as possible while maintaining the flexibility and booking features our customers need.

We’ve made sure that everyone can use our appointment scheduling plugin, including people with auditory, visual, and physical disabilities.

Everyone deserves access to everything the web offers, so we built our WordPress booking calendar plugin with accessibility in mind.

FAQ

How do I show the booking form?

To embed the Simply Schedule Appointments booking calendars on your WordPress pages or posts you can use a shortcode or a page builder module (ex. Elementor Appointment Booking module). You can paste the booking shortcode below using a text box to display all of your appointment types:

[ssa_booking]

Guide on all the ways you can display the Appointment Type Booking Calendars on your site.

Where can I read the documentation?

The full documentation is available at our website.
Or, get started with our free Basic Edition guide.

Will I end up being double-booked?

Nope. Once a customer has booked an appointment time, that time is no longer available for booking. So you’ll never find yourself double-booked.

Additionally, we do some extra checks while a customer is booking an appointment just to be sure their selected time is still available. If someone else books their selected time while they’re in the process of booking, we’ll let them know and ask them to select another time.

We also offer Google Calendar syncing in our Plus, Pro, or Business Edition to make sure you never double-book appointments with your personal schedule.

Can I customize the appearance of the booking form?

Yes, you can. We offer settings for color and font that will let you customize the form to blend seamlessly into any theme.

You can additionally add custom CSS to customize the form even further.

Are there limitations on the number of booking calendars or appointments I can make?

No! The free Basic Edition of Simply Schedule Appointments allows you to create an unlimited number of Appointment Types so that you can create a booking calendar for each of your business’ services.

And the booking plugin will never limit the number of appointments that you can book.

Can I test the Simply Schedule Appointments booking calendars before installation?

Yes, we have a variety of booking demos where you can book test appointments.

How can I upgrade to the Simply Schedule Appointments Plus, Professional, and Business Editions?

The Plus, Professional, and Business Editions are paid versions of the Simply Schedule Appointments booking plugin. Purchase and download the Premium Booking Editions.

How does Simply Schedule Appointments compare to Calendly?

We bring all of the great features that people are familiar with in the Calendly scheduling tool. But with the versatility and freedom that WordPress offers.

Compared to Calendly, customers who use Simply Schedule Appointments find that this plugin offers:
* A better range of styling options to match your website
* More ways to mesh the booking calendars into the website workflow through integrations, for example Gravity Forms and MemberPress.
* And, the package tiers are much less complicated — we don’t charge by number of team members or number of calendars, it’s all unlimited!

I’m not a developer, can I still set this up?

Yes of course! The majority of our customers are not developers — setup is really as simple as:
1. Activating the plugin on the site
2. Going through our setup wizard to create your first booking calendar
3. Embedding the calendar on any page or post of your choosing

See our guide on how to get started.

It is a quick to use and intuitively equipped plugin. From the point of view of the basic functions, there is absolutely nothing to complain about. But unfortunately there are 2 things that make me at least not want to use it: (personal opinion) Divi moduleI think it's great that there is at least a module for the Divi Builder. There are just too many producers out there who keep forgetting about Divi, even though the builder, next to Elementor, holds the most market share. But that's where it ends. The usual design options are not given to choose from. For example, if you have different fonts for headlines and body text, you cannot set them. DSGVO (GDPR) - European users bewareUnfortunately, the plug-in cannot be used in this form, as there is no possibility to switch off external resources. You would have to go back to functions.php by hand to get it somewhat right, but that shouldn't be the point. Extended regulations have been in place since 2018 and there are still providers who simply don't care. As I said, it's a nice plugin, but point 2 in particular needs to be improved.

I have had a couple of problems with my account and both times they have managed to resolve my problem in a quick and timely fashion. I have not once regretted choosing SSA for my booking needs and will continue to use them.

I originally had my product sales setup in WooCommerce and tried a couple different pro level booking plugins. They were terrible products! So I am a longtime user and fan of Formidable Forms. Thought I'd give this booking plugin a try. Oh my, it's amazing. So simple to setup. I had a couple tweaks I wanted to make and their support was incredibly helpful and responsive. It integrates so nicely with Formidable. The resulting product is very streamlined and simple for the customer. Thank you so much SSA! As a professional website developer ... whew ... I feel so much better about the website I've setup for my customer. Diane

Simply Schedule Appointments is the best booking plugin for WordPress. It's very easy to use, and also the support is amazing. Kudos for this great plugin!
14 de enero de 2023 1 reply
I wanted to add a way for my clients to setup their own appointments so I wouldn't have to keep responding to incoming requests. I looked a number of Wordpress plugins and they were so complex! I loaded Simply Schedule and had "Book Appointment" page up on my site in 15 minutes! Then, when I wanted to tweak a few things about the way they displayed and integration with Google, I logged a request with support and received quick answers to my questions that were easy to understand and act on. I wish all software were designed so well and was so easy to use
