WP Simple Booking Calendar Premium: Publish Availability

Publish availability by resource

WP Simple Booking Calendar Premium lets users check dates for a holiday home, room, bed and breakfast, office, piece of equipment, or shift schedule on your WordPress website. Showing availability online can reduce repeated questions by phone, chat, or email. The Premium edition adds calendars, editing controls, publishing settings, and customization capabilities to the basic booking calendar.

Manage calendars and dates

Create an unlimited number of calendars, show multiple months, or present several calendars in one overview. The bulk editor changes multiple dates with one click. You can add information to individual days for display in a tooltip, hide booking history from visitors, highlight the current day, and display week numbers from 1 to 52.

Choose the first day of the week and the month and year where a calendar begins. These settings shape the date view around how your business or audience plans availability.

Share calendars and coordinate updates

For a property or resource listed on multiple sites, Premium can synchronize calendars with Airbnb, Booking.com, HomeAway, FlipKey, and other services that support iCal. This can help keep availability aligned across supported listings. Calendar dates can also be exported as a CSV file for use outside the calendar interface.

Set the user display

Create a legend with custom colors and languages to explain availability states. Premium includes language preferences designed to be simple to use and display. Generate a shortcode to place calendar content on a page or post. The responsive layout is intended for visitors using various screen sizes.

A multiple-calendar overview presents information for several resources together. User management lets you assign specific users to specific calendars, so people can maintain the calendars they are responsible for.

Use cases and WordPress setup

Calendars can show open and unavailable dates for holiday rentals and accommodation, or publish availability for offices, equipment, and shifts. WordPress multisite support is included for network installations, and professional support is listed as part of the Premium offering.

Install WP Simple Booking Calendar Premium on your WordPress website, make calendars, and enter availability for each day. Configure the display, legend, language, and calendar settings. Then generate a shortcode and add it to the page or post where visitors should see availability. If the calendars are also published on supported iCal services, configure synchronization to share availability between the relevant websites.
