Calendarista Premium – WP Reservation, Appointment & Schedule Booking System

Calendarista Premium is a complete booking and appointment system for WordPress, designed to offer your customers a fast, clear, and efficient online booking experience. It is aimed at service businesses such as hotels, travel agencies, vehicle rentals, tourist apartments, beauty salons, restaurants, and any professional project that needs to manage availability and appointments directly from its website.

The plugin includes 12 ready-to-use booking modes, allowing the system to adapt to virtually any business model: from single-date bookings, date ranges with check-in and check-out, time and time-slot selection, to round-trip bookings, date packages, or multiple non-sequential bookings. Each service can be added via shortcodes on any page or post, and it is possible to list multiple services with their own availability calendars.

Its standout features include custom fields to collect additional customer information, unlimited optional extras with categories, discount coupons, seasonal rates, taxes, deposits, and staff management with employees who can manage their own appointments. The system allows bookings with or without payment, configurable at the service level, and natively integrates payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal, in addition to supporting WooCommerce for payment processing.

Sync is another of its strengths: it offers two-way synchronization with Google Calendar, live iCAL feeds for Apple Calendar and Outlook, SMS reminders via Twilio, webhooks for Zapier, and CSV export. It also includes fully customizable email notifications with SMTP configuration to avoid spam filters, and automatic reminders for upcoming appointments for customers.

For businesses with routes or travel, Calendarista incorporates Google Maps with autocomplete, waypoints, cost calculation by distance, and address display on a live map within the site. The plugin is compatible with WPML and Polylang for multilingual translations, complies with GDPR, and offers a public calendar with daily, weekly, and monthly views. With its backend admin panel, you can manage appointments, sales, and availability centrally, reducing manual work and improving your customers' purchasing experience.
