Salon Booking System PRO

Salon Booking System PRO extends appointment booking on WordPress for salons, barbershops, beauty salons, nail studios and spas. Clients select a date, service and stylist. The business handles staff schedules, services, reservations, notifications and customer records.

The booking form’s step order, colors and fields can be adjusted, and direct booking links can lead clients to the form. Staff schedules include weekly timetables, holidays and service assignments. Service options cover duration, processing breaks, secondary services and exclusive services.

Payments and service rules

PRO supports online payments through Stripe or PayPal by default. Payment settings can include deposits, tips, tax calculation, a minimum order and transaction fees. A service’s price can depend on the selected assistant, and its duration can vary. Individual services can also require multiple assistants.

• Service Lock and Service Parallel Execution
• Booking cloning and resource-based reservations
• Time zones based on the customer’s location
• Limits on assistant access privileges

Additional payment providers are available through add-ons. Check the availability of each provider and extension for the intended setup.

Staff calendars and customer communication

The back-end calendar has monthly, weekly, daily and assistant views. Staff can add or edit reservations from the daily view and block time slots when needed. Email notifications can alert clients and selected assistants to new reservations, with customer reminders, follow-ups and review invitations also available. Custom email messages and logos are supported; SMS messages can be configured for supported booking events.

Google Calendar synchronization keeps reservations in a connected calendar, with additions and cancellations made there reflected in the booking system. A mobile web app gives salon managers and staff access to booking utilities, while the RESTful API lets third-party applications use the system.

Add-ons and integrations

The available add-on collection includes Multi-Shops for multiple branches, WooCommerce Checkout, Services Packages, Communicator, SOAP Notes, Geo Referencing Shops and Geo Referencing Assistants. Mailchimp and Zapier integrations are also listed, alongside add-ons for other payment and SMS providers. Individual extensions and providers may have their own availability requirements, so review the options for your setup.

Setup and caching

Install the add-on in WordPress and activate it. Configure the booking page, services, assistants, schedules, notifications and style settings. Then enable the PRO functions you need and connect selected payment, SMS, calendar or other integrations. Test the front-end booking flow, confirmations, reminders, payments and staff-management steps before inviting clients to book.

Exclude booking pages from page caching so appointment availability stays current. Setup and configuration details are covered in the documentation.
