Before you proceed to the JetBooking <\/em>setup process, it is strongly recommended to define which Booking Mode<\/strong><\/a> suits your case the best. This guide focuses on the JetBooking<\/em>-specific concept of the Booking Mode<\/strong> and the available modes, describing their differences and defining features to help you understand which modes to choose to move forward in the setup process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are JetBooking Booking Modes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

In JetBooking<\/em>, a Booking Mode<\/strong> is a predefined booking workflow that determines how booking units are managed, where booking information is stored, and how customers complete the booking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Booking Mode<\/strong> settings can be selected in the WordPress Dashboard > Bookings > Settings > General <\/em><\/strong>directory. In the Booking mode<\/strong> dropdown, you can select the \u201cPlain\u201d or \u201cWooCommerce based\u201d option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the \u201cPlain\u201d option is selected, the WooCommerce integration toggle<\/strong> is available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"booking<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Plain Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

The \u201cPlain\u201d mode <\/strong>is the JetBooking <\/em>workflow that manages bookings without requiring WooCommerce<\/em>. In this mode, Custom Post Types<\/strong><\/a> (CPTs)<\/strong> serve as the booking units (for example, hotel rooms, apartments, vehicles, or equipment), while JetFormBuilder<\/em><\/a> is used to collect booking details and process the reservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookable items are stored as Custom Post Type<\/strong> posts created with JetEngine<\/em><\/a> or any other plugin that creates CPTs<\/strong>. Their availability is managed by JetBooking<\/em>, and all booking orders are stored in JetBooking > Bookings<\/em><\/strong>, where admins can review and manage them. The Order CPT<\/strong> is also needed to keep the booking orders that are stored in WooCommerce<\/em> Orders when the WooCommerce Integration<\/strong> is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bookings<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When a customer submits a booking form<\/a>, JetBooking <\/em>checks the selected dates against the booking calendar to prevent unavailable dates from being reserved. If the booking is valid, the reservation is created in the JetBooking <\/em>database. Payments, if required, are processed through JetFormBuilder <\/em>payment gateways<\/a>, so WooCommerce <\/em>is not needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since WooCommerce <\/em>is not used, the checkout becomes a part of the booking form rather than a separate page, and is operated by JetFormBuilder<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the \u201cPlain\u201d mode matches your project requirements, continue with the JetBooking Preparation Guideline \u2014 Plain Mode<\/strong><\/a> to prepare your website before configuring the booking system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Plain Mode with WooCommerce Integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

The \u201cPlain\u201d mode with the WooCommerce Integration<\/strong> toggle on extends the \u201cPlain\u201d mode workflow by connecting JetBooking <\/em>to WooCommerce Checkout<\/strong>. In this mode, Custom Post Types (CPTs)<\/strong> are still used as booking units, and JetFormBuilder <\/em>is used to collect booking details. However, instead of processing payments with the help of JetFormBuilder\u2019s <\/em>Stripe<\/a> and Paypal<\/a> addons, customers are redirected to WooCommerce <\/em>to complete the checkout process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"plain<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Like in \u201cPlain\u201d mode, booking items are stored as Custom Post Type<\/strong> posts, while booking availability is managed by JetBooking<\/em>. When a customer submits a booking form<\/a>, JetBooking <\/em>validates the selected dates and creates a booking record. At the same time, a corresponding WooCommerce <\/em>order is generated, allowing payments, order statuses, and supported payment gateways to be managed through WooCommerce<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mode combines JetBooking’s <\/em>flexible booking workflow with WooCommerce’s <\/em>checkout and order management capabilities. It is particularly useful for projects that require WooCommerce <\/em>payment gateways, integrations with third-party WooCommerce <\/em>extensions, or a centralized order management system while continuing to use Custom Post Types<\/strong> as booking units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode, bookable items are not WooCommerce <\/em>products. They remain Custom Post Types<\/strong>, while WooCommerce <\/em>is used solely to process payments and manage customer orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to manage bookable items as Custom Post Types<\/strong> while using WooCommerce <\/em>for checkout and payments, continue with the JetBooking Preparation Guideline \u2014 Plain Mode with WooCommerce Integration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WooCommerce-Based Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

The \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode transforms JetBooking <\/em>into a booking extension for WooCommerce <\/em>by using WooCommerce <\/em>products as booking units. Unlike the \u201cPlain\u201d modes, where bookable items are created as Custom Post Types<\/strong>, this mode relies entirely on WooCommerce <\/em>products and its native purchasing workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"woocommerce<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When this mode is enabled, JetBooking <\/em>introduces the \u201cJetBooking product\u201d type<\/strong>. Each bookable item is created as a WooCommerce <\/em>product and configured with booking settings, such as availability, booking duration, guest limits, and pricing. Customers select their booking dates directly on the product page using the built-in booking calendar and add the product to the WooCommerce <\/em>cart. The booking is completed through the standard WooCommerce <\/em>checkout process, where customer information, payment, and order details are collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"jetbooking<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

JetBooking <\/em>manages the booking logic and availability, while WooCommerce <\/em>handles products, checkout, payments, and order management. Booking orders remain available in JetBooking > Bookings<\/em><\/strong>, and the corresponding customer orders are stored in WooCommerce > Orders<\/em><\/strong>, allowing both systems to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since booking units are WooCommerce <\/em>products, JetFormBuilder <\/em>is not required in this workflow. However, JetEngine <\/em>can still be used to extend bookable products with custom fields and additional metadata<\/a> when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode is ideal for projects where bookings should function as products in an online store, allowing website owners to leverage WooCommerce <\/em>features such as product catalogs, inventory management, coupons, taxes, shipping, payment gateways, and the extensive WooCommerce <\/em>extension ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to manage bookable items as WooCommerce <\/em>products and use WooCommerce <\/em>for checkout and payments, continue with the JetBooking Preparation Guideline \u2014 WooCommerce- Based Mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        Which JetBooking <\/em>Booking Mode<\/strong> should I choose?<\/strong>

        Choose the \u201cPlain\u201d mode if you want to build a booking website without WooCommerce <\/em>and manage bookable items as Custom Post Types<\/strong>. Choose \u201cPlain\u201d mode with WooCommerce Integration <\/strong>if you want to keep using Custom Post Types<\/strong> while processing payments through WooCommerce <\/em>Checkout. Choose the \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode if your booking units should be WooCommerce <\/em>products and you want to use WooCommerce <\/em>as the primary checkout and order management system.<\/p> <\/div>

        Can I use JetBooking <\/em>without WooCommerce<\/em>?<\/strong>

        Yes. The \u201cPlain\u201d mode allows you to create and manage bookings without installing WooCommerce<\/em>. In this mode, JetFormBuilder <\/em>handles the booking form and payment processing, while booking orders are stored in JetBooking > Bookings<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div>

        What is the difference between \u201cPlain\u201d mode with WooCommerce Integration<\/strong> and \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode?<\/strong>

        The main difference is the type of booking instance. In \u201cPlain\u201d mode with WooCommerce Integration<\/strong>, booking units remain Custom Post Types<\/strong>, and WooCommerce <\/em>is used only for checkout and payment processing. In the \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode, booking units are WooCommerce <\/em>products, and customers complete the booking using the standard WooCommerce <\/em>shopping workflow.<\/p> <\/div>

        Where are JetBooking <\/em>bookings stored?<\/strong>

        Regardless of the selected Booking Mode<\/strong>, booking orders are stored in JetBooking > Bookings<\/em><\/strong>. If you use \u201cPlain\u201d mode with WooCommerce Integration <\/strong>or the \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode, the corresponding customer orders are also created and managed in WooCommerce > Orders<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div>

        Is JetFormBuilder <\/em>required for every JetBooking <\/em>Booking Mode<\/strong>?<\/strong>

        No. JetFormBuilder <\/em>is required for the \u201cPlain\u201d mode and \u201cPlain\u201d mode with WooCommerce Integration<\/strong> because it is used to collect booking details. In the \u201cWooCommerce-Based\u201d mode, customers book directly from the WooCommerce <\/em>product page and complete the purchase through WooCommerce <\/em>Checkout, so JetFormBuilder <\/em>is not required.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        That\u2019s it. Now you know about the JetBooking <\/em>Booking Modes: Plain, Plain with WooCommerce Integration<\/strong>, and WooCommerce-based mode, and can choose the one that suits your case the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
