Directorist – Booking (Reservation & Appointment)

Directorist – Booking (Reservation & Appointment)

Managing time-based services through a directory site becomes effortless with Directorist – Booking (Reservation & Appointment). This add-on transforms any Directorist-powered directory into a full-fledged booking platform, letting users schedule appointments, reserve services, and even manage availability directly from listing pages.

Built on top of the Directorist core framework, this module introduces advanced scheduling logic with real-time availability checks. Listing owners can define working hours, off-days, buffer times between bookings, and limit the number of reservations per slot. It supports both one-time and recurring bookings, making it suitable for service providers like doctors, consultants, event organizers, and more.

The booking system integrates tightly with the frontend submission process. Listing owners configure booking settings through a simple dashboard interface, while users browse available time slots and confirm their reservation using a clean and intuitive form. The plugin supports various calendar views, including daily, weekly, and monthly formats for easier navigation.

On the backend, administrators have full visibility over bookings, cancellations, and user messages. Notifications are built in, so both parties receive updates via email for confirmations and changes. The plugin is compatible with multiple payment gateways via Directorist’s integration layer, allowing paid bookings when monetization is enabled.

Responsive by design, the booking UI adjusts seamlessly across mobile and tablet devices. Additional options such as custom booking fields, automated status updates, and appointment buffers add flexibility to tailor the experience. Developers can also extend the module using hooks and filters provided by the Directorist framework.

Directorist – Booking (Reservation & Appointment) turns directory listings into interactive service platforms, giving users the power to book directly and businesses the tools to manage appointments professionally.
