- Recurring bookings (series) with conflict handling: skip, abort or cancel the conflicting booking
- Manual bookings in the admin area (no limits apply to the administrator)
- E-mail notices for booking and cancellation, with editable templates
- Optional online payment with Mollie (PayPal, Wero, Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit card, bank transfer) or cash on site

Shortcodes
[ctra_court_booking]shows the booking calendar. Attributes:courts="1,2",date="2026-06-15",days="3",view="tabs"orview="grid".[ctra_my_court_bookings]shows the logged-in user’s own bookings with a cancel button.
External service: Mollie (optional)
Online payment is optional and disabled until you enter a Mollie API key under Courtora > Settings > Payments. If you enable it, the plugin sends the following data to Mollie (Mollie B.V., Netherlands) when a user pays online: the amount, a payment description (court name, date and time), the return and webhook URLs of your website, the booking ID and the plugin version. Names and e-mail addresses are not sent by the plugin. The payer enters payment details on Mollie’s own pages. Mollie also receives the payer’s data directly from the payer.

Without a Mollie API key the plugin does not contact any external service.
Privacy
The plugin stores bookings in its own database tables: booking date and time, court, the WordPress user ID or the name and e-mail address of a guest, notes, price and payment status. All data is deleted when the plugin is deleted from the Plugins screen.
The plugin supports the WordPress privacy tools. It adds a suggested text to the Policy Guide, includes bookings in the personal data export, and anonymises bookings when personal data is erased or a user is deleted. Future bookings of that person are cancelled without e-mail. Paid bookings are kept for accounting without any link to the person. The privacy text is a suggestion and not legal advice; please review it for your site.

FAQ
-
Do I have to use Mollie?
-
No. Online payment is optional. Without it, bookings can be paid on site.
-
Clear the cache of your website and of your hosting after every plugin update. Caching plugins and hosting caches can store the booking page and the scripts.
-
Booking requests are cached by the server. What should I do?
-
Exclude
admin-ajax.phpfrom caching, or send these headers for it:Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, privateandPragma: no-cache. -
Which limits apply to administrators?
-
None. Manual bookings and recurring bookings created in the admin area ignore the limits from the settings. If a booking overlaps an existing one, a dialog asks whether the existing booking should be cancelled.
