Description
Simple Profit – Hotel Booking Toolkit is a professional, modular plugin for hotel and property booking. It is designed with reliability and extensibility at its core:
- Modular architecture — each feature is an isolated module; a fault in one module never crashes the site.
- Full module control — enable or disable any module from the Modules admin page. Everything is free and fully functional.
- Extensible — action and filter hooks let other plugins extend the toolkit.
Features
- Availability Search Widget — a clean, responsive HTML search form (shortcode + WordPress widget).
- RSS Offers Feed — display a property’s current offers and packages via shortcode.
- Module management — turn individual modules on or off at any time.
- Admin Dashboard — status overview, active modules, error log.
Optional Premium Add-On
A separate Premium add-on is available from our website (not hosted on WordPress.org). It is installed as its own plugin and adds extra functionality on top of this free plugin, which remains fully functional on its own:
- Central dashboard to manage modules across many sites
- Advanced booking calendar
- Email notification system
- Priority support
