Use Cases
↑ Back to topWooCommerce Bookings is very flexible and can be used for many different purposes. Examples of possible use cases for bookable products include:
- Booking services and appointments
- Appointment-based bookings, Scheduling/Booking services, Reservations, or Time-based services
- Hotel reservations, The free WooCommerce Accommodation Bookings add-on can help you manage hotel reservations.
- Rentals/Hires
There are specific scenarios where WooCommerce Bookings may not be the most suitable choice. Two examples of such use cases are:
- One-off event tickets: If you need to sell tickets for a single event, utilize the existing virtual products functionality or consider using the WooCommerce Box Office extension. Since an event is distinct from a booking, WooCommerce Box Office can better cater to the specific requirements of selling one-time event tickets.
- Recurring events: If you have an event that occurs on a regular basis, such as a weekly/monthly occurrence, WooCommerce Bookings is not designed to handle recurring events.
You can view the list of use cases here.
