BookingPress WooCommerce Payment Gateway Addon 2.1

Direct Integration Between BookingPress and WooCommerce

The BookingPress WooCommerce Payment Gateway addon is a functional tool for WordPress users who need to process appointment payments through the WooCommerce checkout system. When you buy this addon, you connect your booking calendar directly to your store’s cart. This setup allows you to use any payment provider supported by WooCommerce, including local gateways that are often unavailable in standard booking plugins. This is a premium solution for businesses that need specific financial tools to manage their daily operations.

How the Addon Functions

Once installed, the addon changes the booking flow. Instead of using the internal BookingPress payment forms, the system redirects the customer to the WooCommerce checkout page. The booking details are treated as a temporary product in the cart. This method ensures that all financial data, taxes, and transaction records remain inside the WooCommerce database. It is a professional way to centralize your bookkeeping if you already sell physical or digital products alongside your services. The integration ensures that the payment status in BookingPress updates automatically once the WooCommerce order is marked as completed.

Key Technical Features

• Unified Checkout: Customers can pay for appointments using the same interface they use for products. This reduces the need for multiple payment setups.
• Wide Gateway Support: Access hundreds of payment extensions available for WooCommerce, such as Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, and Mollie. This is vital for international businesses.
• Tax and GST Compliance: Use WooCommerce tax settings to apply correct rates to your service bookings automatically. This simplifies legal compliance for service providers.
• Discount Management: Apply WooCommerce coupons to appointment totals without needing separate booking-specific codes. You can run site-wide sales that include both products and services.
• Order Management: View booking payments within the standard WooCommerce orders screen for better organization. This provides a single source of truth for your revenue.

Who Should Use This Plugin?

This addon is for agency owners and web developers building service-based websites. If your client operates in a region where only specific local banks provide payment gateways, and those banks only offer WooCommerce plugins, this addon is the required bridge. It is not for users who want a standalone booking system without the overhead of WooCommerce. It is specifically for those who require the extensive financial infrastructure that only WooCommerce provides. It works well for clinics, beauty salons, and consulting agencies that want a professional checkout experience.

Real-World Use Cases

Consider a medical clinic that uses BookingPress for patient scheduling. They need to accept payments via a local provider in India or Brazil. By using this addon, they can download and install the relevant WooCommerce gateway and start accepting payments immediately. Another example is a gym that sells both memberships and personal training sessions. By integrating both through WooCommerce, the owner sees all revenue in one single dashboard rather than checking two different systems. This makes financial reporting much faster and reduces the risk of accounting errors.

Professional Financial Control

Managing refunds and cancellations becomes simpler with this integration. Since the payment is processed as a WooCommerce order, you can use the native refund tools provided by the gateway. This reduces the manual work required to keep your accounts accurate. When you buy this premium addon, you are investing in a system that prioritizes data consistency and financial accuracy. You can also generate standard WooCommerce invoices for every booking, providing your customers with the documentation they expect from a professional business.

Compatibility and Setup

The setup process is straightforward. After you download the zip file, upload it to your WordPress plugins directory. In the BookingPress settings, you will find a new option to enable WooCommerce as the primary payment method. Ensure that WooCommerce is active and configured before enabling this feature. The plugin works with most WordPress themes and is compatible with page builders like Elementor, as it uses standard WooCommerce hooks to process the transaction. It does not interfere with other BookingPress features like staff management or service configuration.

Reliable Performance for Agencies

For developers managing multiple client sites, this addon provides a predictable way to handle payments. You do not have to worry about whether a specific booking plugin supports a niche payment provider. If it works with WooCommerce, it works with your booking system. This reliability is why professionals choose this specific integration for high-traffic service sites. It allows you to build a system that can grow with your client’s needs without switching booking platforms later. By using a premium tool, you ensure that the core functionality of the website remains stable during high-traffic periods.

Streamlining Service Sales

Selling services should be as easy as selling products. This addon removes the technical barriers that often prevent service providers from using their preferred payment methods. By utilizing the WooCommerce cart, you can even allow customers to book multiple services and pay for them in a single transaction. This functionality is often missing in basic booking tools but is standard when you use this professional integration. It improves the user experience by providing a familiar and trusted checkout process.
