Bookminto

Description

Book appointments directly from your WordPress website

Bookminto adds a modern appointment booking experience to WordPress.

Let visitors choose a service, find an available time and book directly from your website — without sending them through a complicated booking process.

Manage your services, availability and bookings in Bookminto, while the booking experience stays where it belongs: on your website.

Booking that fits your website

Not every website needs the same booking flow.

Bookminto gives you several ways to make appointments available:

• Inline booking — embed the complete booking experience directly in a page.
• Floating booking button — keep booking available while visitors browse your site.
• Booking bar — add a compact booking action without taking over the page.
• Popup booking — open the booking flow when visitors are ready to book.

Customize the appearance to better match your website and brand.

Use the Bookminto block in the WordPress editor, or place the booking experience manually with a shortcode.

A clear booking flow for your customers

Customers can:

• Choose a service.
• View available dates and times.
• Enter their contact details.
• Add booking information or notes where available.
• Confirm their appointment directly from your website.

Availability comes from your Bookminto setup, so customers are offered times that are available for the selected service.

Manage bookings in one place

Bookminto gives you a central place to manage the booking side of your business, including:

• Services and pricing.
• Service duration.
• Weekly availability.
• Appointments.
• Customer information.
• Booking appearance and settings.

Bookminto is designed for appointment-based businesses such as salons, wellness professionals, clinics, consultants, coaches and other service providers.

Already using WooCommerce?

Bookminto can connect appointments to WooCommerce products.

Customers select their appointment from the product page and continue through your existing WooCommerce checkout.

This lets you keep the checkout and payment setup you already use while adding appointment selection to the purchasing flow.

Optional booking deposits with Stripe

Bookminto can also collect a deposit during the booking process when deposits are enabled for your account.

Payment details are handled securely by Stripe Elements. Raw card information is not sent to or stored by Bookminto.

Start with free Pro access during beta

The WordPress plugin itself is free and open source.

A Bookminto account is required because availability, bookings and related booking services are provided through the Bookminto service.

During the Bookminto beta period, Pro service access is available without charge and without requiring a credit card.

After the beta period, an eligible paid Bookminto service plan will be required to continue accepting new bookings.

There is no local trial timer or paid-code lock inside the WordPress plugin. Account plans apply to the external Bookminto service.

See the current Bookminto plans and beta conditions for details.

Stripe

When optional booking deposits are enabled, the booking interface loads Stripe.js from:

Stripe processes payment details and associated device/network information required to process the payment.

Bookminto receives payment identifiers and payment status information, but does not receive raw card details.

WooCommerce bookings use the payment method configured by the WordPress website owner in WooCommerce rather than a Bookminto-controlled checkout.
