Booking System

Booking System for Magento 2 is a simple solution to manage bookings for products and services in an online store. It allows store owners to offer date-based and time-based bookings in an easy way. Customers can select a date, choose an available time slot, and complete the booking in a few steps. It supports booking types like table booking and rental booking, making it useful for restaurants, rentals, and service-based businesses.

This module gives full control from the admin panel. Store owners can set booking schedules, manage time slots, and control availability. It also includes options like block dates, seasonal pricing, and slot-wise quantity control. The mass booking feature helps apply settings to multiple products at once, saving time. Customers see a simple calendar with clear availability, which makes the booking process smooth and easy.

How Does It Work?

Step 1: Enable Booking for Products

The admin selects the products or services that require booking and enables the booking type, such as table booking or rental booking.

Step 2: Configure Booking Schedule

The admin sets the booking start date, end date, working days, and time range for each product, along with the preferred 12-hour or 24-hour time format.

Step 3: Set Up Slots and Availability

Booking slots are created automatically based on the configured booking time and break time. The admin defines slot-wise quantity limits or a shared limit across all slots.

Step 4: Manage Block Dates and Pricing

The admin blocks specific dates when bookings should not be allowed and configures seasonal pricing for selected date ranges as needed.

Step 5: Apply Mass Booking Settings (Optional)

For multiple products, the admin can select them together and apply booking settings in one go using the mass booking configuration feature.

Step 6: Customer Makes a Booking

The customer views the calendar with clear availability indicators, selects a date, chooses an available time slot, sets the quantity, and proceeds to cart and checkout.

Step 7: Admin Manages Bookings

The admin reviews all bookings from the orders section and booked orders list, updates booking status, manages invoices, and tracks bookings easily.
