## Description

Radius Booking is an appointment booking calendar and scheduling plugin for WordPress.
It lets customers book service appointments, register for events and schedule meetings
from your website, while you manage staff, availability, customers and payments 
from one admin panel.

The free version includes the full appointment booking system: unlimited services
and staff, a real-time booking calendar, email notifications, a customer portal,
PayPal payments, Google Calendar sync and Google Meet links. Radius Booking Pro 
adds Stripe, WooCommerce checkout, deposits, coupons, dynamic pricing, recurring
appointments, multi-location support, staff payouts, WhatsApp reminders, advanced
analytics and a conversational AI booking assistant.

**Video Tutorial**

### Appointment Booking Calendar for Any Service Business

Radius Booking replaces phone calls and back-and-forth emails with an online booking
calendar that shows your real availability. Customers pick a service, choose a staff
member, select an open time slot and confirm, with or without paying online. Every
booking appears in your admin calendar, syncs to Google Calendar and triggers email
notifications to the customer, the assigned staff member and the site admin.

It is built for salons and spas, clinics and healthcare practices, consultants, 
tutors, coaches, cleaning and home service companies, fitness studios and anyone
who takes appointments.

### Three Booking Types in One Plugin

Most appointment plugins handle one kind of booking. Radius Booking includes three
modules that can be turned on or off independently:

 * **Service appointments** – service-first or staff-first booking flows, real-time
   availability, buffer times, capacity limits and guest checkout.
 * **Meeting scheduling** – define meeting types with fixed durations (15, 30, 60
   minutes), set availability windows per staff member, control notice periods and
   daily limits, require approval if needed, and auto-generate Google Meet links.
   Works like a personal scheduling link for consultations, discovery calls and 
   demos.
 * **Event registration** – create events with multiple sessions and ticket types,
   set capacity, sale windows and registration deadlines, enable a waitlist, and
   manage registrations and check-ins.

### 🌟 Who Uses Radius Booking

**Salons, spas and barbershops** – Clients choose their preferred stylist or therapist,
book an open slot and pay online. Buffer times give staff room between appointments.

**Clinics and healthcare providers** – Doctors, dentists, chiropractors and therapists
use automated confirmations and reminders, keep patient booking history in the customer
database, and collect intake details with custom fields (Pro).

**Home and cleaning services** – Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians and cleaning
companies let homeowners request service visits from the website and capture job
details up front.

**Tutors and educators** – Music teachers, language instructors and academic coaches
manage student sessions, with recurring bookings (Pro) for weekly lessons.

**Fitness and wellness** – Personal trainers, yoga and pilates studios handle one-
on-one sessions and class bookings across multiple staff calendars.

**Consultants and professional services** – Lawyers, accountants, financial advisors
and agencies use meeting booking with Google Meet or Zoom (Pro) for virtual consultations.

**Event organizers** – Workshop hosts, trainers and community groups sell tickets,
track capacity and manage attendance from the same plugin.

### ✅ Classified Listing Integration

Radius Booking integrates with our [Classified Listing](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classified-listing/)
directory plugin. Listings sync as bookable services, listing owners become staff
members, booking forms pre-fill with listing details, and a Book Now button appears
on listing pages, turning a business directory into a service marketplace with built-
in booking.

### Free Features

**Appointment Booking System**
 Customers browse services, select a staff member,
pick a date and time from the live booking calendar and confirm. Choose a service-
first or staff-first flow. A multi-step form with a progress indicator and running
summary keeps the process clear on desktop and mobile. Guest checkout is supported,
with optional account creation.

**Booking Calendar and Availability**
 Set business hours, multiple working periods
per day, named breaks, special days with custom hours, and days off or vacation 
ranges with optional annual recurrence. Special days override weekday schedules,
which override global defaults. Time periods can be scoped to specific services 
and locations.

**Meeting Scheduling**
 Create meeting types with their own duration, price and 
color. Each staff member sets weekly availability windows, with buffer time before
and after slots and date overrides for specific days. Set minimum notice, maximum
advance booking days and maximum bookings per day. Meetings can be online, in person
or hybrid, and can require admin approval. Customers reschedule through a unique
link without logging in.

**Event Registration and Ticketing**
 Create events with multiple sessions, each
with its own date, time, speaker, capacity and location. Offer multiple ticket types(
paid, free or early-bird) with sale windows and minimum or maximum tickets per order.
Capacity is enforced in real time, with an optional waitlist, registration deadline
and featured flag. Manage registrations, check-ins and event status from draft to
completed.

**Admin Calendar View**
 See all appointments, events and meetings in month and 
day views. Filter by service, staff member or customer to find openings and busy
periods.

**Appointment Management**
 View, filter and search bookings by date, staff, service
or status (pending, confirmed, completed, cancelled). Assign or reassign staff and
keep a full booking history.

**Service Management**
 * Unlimited services with descriptions, images, duration
and pricing * Service categories * Buffer time before and after each appointment,
set separately * Minimum and maximum customers per slot * Extra guests with per-
service limits and flat or per-person pricing * Per-customer booking limits (for
example, three bookings per month) * Visible, hidden or disabled service states *
Automatic staff assignment by price or workload

**Staff Management**
 * Unlimited staff members with profiles, photos and contact
details * Assign services to each staff member with optional custom pricing and 
capacity * Individual working hours, breaks, special days and days off * Staff dashboard
to view appointments, customer details and edit assigned services * Dedicated staff
role with granular permissions

**Customer Management and Portal**
 A central customer database with contact details,
booking history, internal notes, search and filtering. Optionally create WordPress
user accounts when customers book. Customers get their own portal to view upcoming
and past bookings with payment details and manage their profile and password.

**Email Notifications**
 Customizable email templates for every booking event, sent
to customers, staff and admins. Merge tags insert customer name, service, date, 
time, price, booking ID, staff details, phone numbers, confirmation or cancellation
links and custom fields. Set the sender name, address and reply-to. One appointment
reminder can be scheduled before each booking.

**Payments and Pricing**
 Accept PayPal payments at booking time, or offer pay-later
and offline options such as cash or bank transfer. Set fixed, variable or per-staff
pricing. A transaction ledger records every payment and refund with status tracking.

**Google Calendar, Google Meet and Google Maps**
 Two-way Google Calendar sync creates,
updates and deletes calendar events and blocks busy times. Google Meet links are
generated automatically for meeting bookings. Google Maps geolocation detects customer
location for location-aware booking.

**AI Chat Widget**
 A floating chat widget with a configurable bot name, colors,
position, icon and welcome message, shown on all pages or selected ones. Live conversational
booking requires Pro.

**Dashboard**
 An overview of today’s appointments, revenue, recent activity and
upcoming bookings with appointment and revenue charts.

**Elementor, Gutenberg and Shortcodes**
 Elementor widgets and Gutenberg blocks 
for the booking form, service list, staff list, meeting list, event list and event
registration, with layout, filtering and styling options. Shortcodes are available
for every component:

 * `[radius_booking_form]` – appointment booking form
 * `[rtrb_service_list]` – service catalog
 * `[rtrb_employee_list]` – staff directory
 * `[rtrb_my_booking]` – customer portal

   form
 * `[rtrb_event_list]` and `[rtrb_event_registration]` – events and registration

**Appearance Settings**
 Customize colors, typography, layout, field labels and 
placeholder text. The front end is fully responsive and styled with CSS variables
for easy theming.

**Import and Export**

Multisite with per-site configuration and network activation.

### 💎 Pro Features

[Radius Booking Pro](https://radiusbooking.co/pricing/) extends the free plugin 
with:

**AI Booking Assistant**
 The chat widget becomes a working booking assistant. Connect
your own OpenAI or Google Gemini API key and choose the model. Through natural conversation
the assistant can list services and staff, check availability, create bookings, 
retrieve booking details, and reschedule or cancel appointments. It handles multi-
step conversations, shows structured cards alongside text and answers questions 
from a custom knowledge base of Q&A entries organized by category. You pay your 
AI provider directly; the plugin adds no per-booking fees.
