With WooCommerce, you can use payment options like credit cards, PayPal, and more, giving your customers flexibility in their payment methods.

How to Set Up WooCommerce Integration #

Follow these steps to integrate WooCommerce with Bookingor and streamline your service booking and payment process.

Step 1: Install and Set Up WooCommerce #

1. If you haven’t already, install the WooCommerce plugin from the WordPress repository.
2. Activate the plugin and follow the setup wizard to configure basic WooCommerce settings, including currency, payment methods, and shipping (if needed).
3. Ensure you’ve set up at least one payment gateway for customer transactions (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).

Step 2: WooCommerce Settings in Bookingor #

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Bookingor > Settings.
3. Click on the Integrations tab, and locate the WooCommerce Integration section.
4. Here, you can choose where customers will be redirected during the booking process:

• Checkout Page: Takes customers directly to the WooCommerce checkout page for immediate payment.

Choose the option that best suits your booking workflow and click Save.

Step 3: Create a WooCommerce Product for Booking #

1. To integrate a service with WooCommerce payments, first, you need to create a WooCommerce product:

• Go to WooCommerce > Products > Add New.
• Enter the Product Name (e.g., "Consultation Service").
• Set the Price for the product.
• You can configure additional product settings like description, product image, and category.
• Once you’re done, click Publish to make the product live.

This product will be used to link your services in Bookingor.

Step 4: Create a Service in Bookingor #

1. Navigate to Bookingor > Services > Add New Service.
2. Enter the service details, such as Service Name (e.g., "Consultation"), Duration, Description, and other relevant settings.
3. In the WooCommerce Product dropdown, select the WooCommerce product you just created (e.g., "Consultation Service").

• This will link the Bookingor service with the WooCommerce product, allowing customers to pay for the service through the WooCommerce checkout process.

1. After selecting the product, continue configuring the rest of the service details (such as pricing, availability, and staff assignment).
2. Click Save to complete the service setup.

Step 5: Create Additional Services (Optional) #

• You can create multiple services within Bookingor and assign each of them a corresponding WooCommerce product. This way, customers can select different services during booking and proceed to pay via WooCommerce for each service booked.

Step 6: Test WooCommerce Integration #

1. To ensure that everything is set up correctly, perform a test booking on your site.
2. Go to the booking page and select one of the services linked to a WooCommerce product.
3. After selecting the service, you will be redirected either to the Cart or Checkout Page (depending on your earlier settings).
4. Complete the booking and payment process using WooCommerce’s payment gateway.
5. Check that the booking confirmation and payment receipt are successfully generated.
