How Do I Add a Booking Calendar to WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 16, 2023 @ 1:14 pm

WooCommerce is a great eCommerce platform for small businesses and entrepreneurs. It is simple to set up and use, and there are plenty of plugins and themes available to make your store look great.

One of the most important features of any online store is a booking calendar, and there are a few different ways to add one to WooCommerce.

The first option is to use the WooCommerce Bookings extension. This extension allows you to add a booking calendar to any product or service that you sell.

It is easy to set up and use, and it integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce. You can find the WooCommerce Bookings extension here: https://WooCommerce.com/products/woocommerce-bookings/.

Another option is to use a plugin like WP Booking Calendar. This plugin is similar to the WooCommerce Bookings extension, but it has a few more features.

WP Booking Calendar allows you to set up multiple calendars, send confirmation emails to customers, and more. You can find WP Booking Calendar here: https://WordPress.org/plugins/wp-booking-calendar/.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a booking calendar to WooCommerce, please be aware that there are some potential risks involved.

First and foremost, please be sure that you have a backup of your WooCommerce site before proceeding. Adding a booking calendar could potentially break your WooCommerce installation, and you will want to have a backup in case something goes wrong.

Secondly, please test the booking calendar on a staging or development site before adding it to your live WooCommerce site. This will ensure that you can catch any potential issues before they affect your live site.

Lastly, please be aware that there are many different booking calendar plugins available for WooCommerce, and not all of them are created equal. Some plugins may be more stable than others, and some may have more features than others. Be sure to do your research before choosing a plugin, and always test it on a staging or development site before adding it to your live WooCommerce site.

If you want to add a booking calendar to your WooCommerce store without using a plugin, you can do so by adding a widget to your sidebar. There are a few different widgets available, but we recommend using the Booking Calendar widget from WordPress.com.

This widget is easy to set up and use, and it integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce. You can find the Booking Calendar widget here: https://en-gb.org/plugins/booking-calendar-widget/. Once you have installed and activated the widget, you will need to add it to your sidebar.

  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Appearance > Widgets.
  3. Find the Booking Calendar widget and drag it into your sidebar.
  4. Configure the widget settings and click Save.

Your booking calendar should now be visible on your WooCommerce store!
