JetBooking Preparation Guideline

JetBooking Preparation Guideline

Find a detailed guide on using booking functionality with custom posts and coupled with Elementor Pro or JetThemeCore archive or single pages.

The JetBooking plugin is a unique addon developed by the Crocoblock team specifically for rent and booking services, such as vehicles, dresses, apartments, etc.

If you are an owner of housing and you rent them out for a certain period, this plugin is right for you. The main feature of this addon is the ability to select the check-in/check-out period, filter the offered options, and book a residence. As an administrator, you’ve got even more options: you’re able to manage the orders submitted from the front-end after booking the item and notify your clients by sending an email automatically.

Before you can start setting up the JetBooking features let’s do some preparations. Custom posts, listings, and forms you’ll create will be necessary further.

Dashboard overview

Creating the Room CPT

Navigate to the JetEngine > Post Types block in the dashboard and create a Custom Post Type for your real estate. We’ve created a CPT called “Room” for our tutorial.

Creating the Orders CPT

At this stage, we need to create the second CPT for our future orders. For this tutorial, we created a CPT called “Orders”. Here, you’ll receive your orders and later can manage them as the administrator.

Things to know

You can create a CPT without any meta fields, as further, we’ll get all the required information from the database (continue following our tutorial to know how it works).

Creating Archive and Single pages

Creating an Archive page

Let’s create the Archive page and add a Listing Grid widget to it in order to display all the items offered to check for your visitors. You can create an Archive with Crocoblock > My Library or with the help of the Elementor Pro version functionality.

If any guidance is needed, please check it here.

Creating a Single page

Also, we need to create a Single page to showcase more detailed information about the residence available for booking. Once again, navigate to Crocoblock > My Library and create the Single page.

Things to know

From the Single page itself, your visitors would proceed with the booking. Follow this tutorial to check how it could be done.
