Simplify Appointment Scheduling Process with Bookly Pro
Bookly Pro is the best booking plugin for WordPress websites (customerβs words β not ours). The process of booking appointments is fully customizable for your clients. Itβs anywhere from 2 to 6 easy Steps. Hereβs a walkthrough of the user experience in the standard 6-Step scheduling process.
This piece touches on add-ons, and focuses more on the standard booking plugin. Check outΒ our add-onsΒ and the deeper customization options they provide.
Step 1: Choose Service
Upon arrival at the page containing the booking plugin, the client enters the following information:
- Desired service
- Desired staff member
- Desired date and time
Note: Let customers decide on the number of people they wish to book. How: WithΒ Group Booking add-on, increase the capacity of a service in the Services tab and untick the βNumber of Personsβ checkbox whileΒ integrating the plugin with your pages.
Service Extras, one of our most popular add-ons, allows you to add extra products or services to an appointment. When added, a new step will appear in the booking process, pictured below.
Step 2. Pick a Time Slot
Based on the preferred date & time, the booking system offers a list of available time slots. The customer can browse through the scheduling list and choose the time that suits them.
You can customize the available dates that are displayed to clients. You can also change the appearance, like having each day in a separate column.Β See how here.
Step 3 (optional): Book Multiple Appointments in One Session
With theΒ Cart add-on, your clients can book multiple appointments in one booking session. This feature adds an option to βbook moreβ right after Step 2. The βbook moreβ button will bring them back to Step 1, while storing the current booking on their cart (How to set up the Cart Add-on).
Two add-ons are worth mentioning at this point.Β The Chain Appointments add-onΒ allows the client to book different services in one visit. For example in a dentistβs office: a cleaning, whitening and check-up can be booked in sequence.
Multiply Appointments add-onΒ allows your client to book identical services back-to-back. This is useful for group bookings where clients are assisted individually.
All booked appointments will be displayed together with their dates, times, staff members, and prices.
Step 4: User Info
Hereβs where customers insert info for organizational or marketing purposes. The defaults are name, phone number and email. These fields cannot be removed, but the phone number can be replaced with a Skype ID. More fieldsΒ can be added as desired.
Your customers can also leave notes here on the booking system. Like their favourite spa cocktail or a request for parking space.
Step 5: Payment
The customer can choose between multiple payment options, including offline payment (cash on arrival). There are 10+ online payment options that you can choose from and enable for your plugin.Β Read more on these options and how to set them up.
You can integrate and offer coupons,Β like this.
Should you offer any free services (price set to 0), this step will be skipped.
Step 6: Booking Confirmation
Appointment confirmed. If youβve set up notifications (highly recommended), a confirmation email and a text message (SMS) with booking details are sent to the customer. See how to set notifications up withΒ this video, orΒ this help document.
If you have switched on theΒ pending appointments feature, we recommend that you change the wording of this last step. An acknowledgement or heads-up to say that youβll be in touch to confirm the booking would be better.

All you could want to know about Bookly Pro as a WordPress Plugin
Youβre halfway there, but you need more information to make sure Bookly Pro is the perfect booking system for you. Whether youβre a developer or a business owner.
To see others weβve helped, feel free to have a look at ourΒ reviews section.
Otherwise, read on to wisen up.
What is Bookly Pro?
Bookly Pro is an add-on which requires the Bookly plugin for WordPress websites. With Bookly, your clients can make bookings for service right on your site. No need for time-consuming phone calls or face-to-face meetings.
According to many reviews, Bookly is the best booking plugin for WP. Itβs a unique booking system that is under constant development to stay on top. Our programmers never stop working to satisfy your requests and concerns.
So if youβre ready to automate booking on your (or your clientβs) website, Bookly could be the appointment software youβre looking for.
What you would need to replicate Bookly β without Bookly?
If you wanted your website to accept bookings online, you would choose Bookly, right? But what if you didnβt?
First of all, youβd need an expert programmer to set a booking system up on your website. If you didnβt wish to keep this expert on your payroll, youβd need to train up one of your current employees to keep it all running. This first step costs time and money.
Next you would have to train each of your staff members on how to use this software. This can also cost a lot of time, depending on how complicated the system is.
Then you would have to hire someone in a secretarial role to handle the bookings and allocate staff members.
It could become quite a messy business.
Thatβs why Bookly is such a great plugin. It takes all of these moving parts out and adds them into a simple plugin with powerful capabilities.
Letβs take a look at some of those capabilities.
What does Bookly Pro have to offer?
* Some features require add-ons, but most donβt.
* Bookly is in a state of constant development, depending on what the community wants. Thanks to ourΒ feature request page, you decide what we develop.

Set different appointment lengths and padding timeAll services are not created equal. We understand that and thatβs why each service can have different durations. If your appointments require prep (or you need coffee between appointments) thereβs the padding time option to make sure you donβt get overwhelmed. |
Let customers view and edit bookings onlineAdd a booking list (automatically updated) to your website. If your client wishes to view their appointments, they can login with their credentials, which are automatically sent to them by Bookly Pro if you choose to create WordPress accounts for all customers. They can then view or cancel their appointments β giving them flexibility and increasing client satisfaction. |

Set minimum notice periods for cancellationsYou can set a minimum notice period (eg. 24, 48 hours) for cancellations. Should the client cancel in time, this will not affect them. But it will prevent them cancelling on short notice. |
Let your clients cancel when life catches up to themSometimes life happens, and we canβt make our appointments. Bookly Proβs cancellation process makes it easy for clients to cancel β and shows your flexibility. The cancellation only works when it is outside of the minimum notice period, however. |
