JetBooking Overview

Seasonal Pricing

Seasonal Pricing is a JetBooking feature that allows you to set a specific booking price for a particular season. You can add new seasonal prices in the post’s pricing settings. The available settings include a season’s title, price per day/night, and start and end dates. In addition, you can add multiple seasons and set different rates for each. To output the seasonal pricing on the front end, create a booking form.

Weekend Pricing

Weekend Pricing is a JetBooking feature accessible from the CPT post’s pricing settings. It helps you to apply a custom booking price for a particular weekday. For example, the prices can be higher over the weekend. The available settings include the weekday name and a price field. To show the weekend pricing on the front end, create a booking form and add a calculation formula.

Pricing Rates

Pricing Rates embrace all the price variations one can set using JetBooking. They include a fixed price model, seasonal pricing (the price is higher/lower during a particular season), weekend pricing (the regular price is different on particular weekdays), and advanced price rates (the price changes depending on the number of booked days). All price rates can be configured in the post’s pricing settings. To make it all work smoothly, you need to set the automatic price calculator.

Workflows

Workflows allow configuring the automatic notification system for clients. A workflow can be triggered when a booking is created or when its status changes.  Notifications can be sent immediately or scheduled before or after check-in/check-out. Workflows can be used for various purposes, such as sending confirmations, reminders, or feedback requests. Each workflow can include actions, such as “Send Email” to deliver booking details or “Call a Webhook” to transmit event data to a specified URL.

Manage Units

Managing Units makes it possible to add a custom number of units to a specific post within the parent custom post type. The feature is located in the Units manager section on the post-editing page. By adding units to an existing post, you enable multiple users to book the same item for the same dates. The available settings include the number of units, title/name, and management actions such as edit and delete.

Booking Forms

A booking form allows website users to book a particular booking instance or unit. It can be added automatically at the last step of the Wizard Set Up or created manually using JetPlugins. A booking form typically contains the availability calendar with check-in/check-out dates, user contact details (name, email, phone), preferred payment method, and the action button. You can add more fields, configure the post-submit actions, connect a checkout page, make the form multi-step, and more.

WooCommerce-Based Mode

WooCommerce-based mode integrates booking functionality with WooCommerce, allowing you to manage reservations as WooCommerce products. This mode enables customers to add bookings to their cart, apply discounts or coupons, and complete payments using WooCommerce’s checkout system. Additionally, it provides order management through the WooCommerce dashboard, ensuring better control over bookings and payments. This integration requires the default WooCommerce pages and a configured booking form. The WooCommerce-based mode can be enabled either during the Wizard setup or later from the JetBooking dashboard.

Sync Bookings with Google

Instances booked through the JetBooking plugin can be synchronized with Google Calendar and Gmail using internal settings and third-party tools. The first method is to add the Dynamic Link widget/block/element with JetBooking source as described in the tutorial. Another option is to transfer booked instances from Google Calendar to the website’s dashboard using the URL address in the iCal format. JetBooking is also integrated with Zapier and Make, so you can sync the website and users’ Google accounts using webhooks.
