Calendarista Solo Lite Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Calendarista Solo Lite takes appointment bookings on your own WordPress site. It is built for a one-person business: a coach, a therapist, a tutor, a photographer, a consultant, a hairdresser. Your clients pick a time that is genuinely free, fill in one short form, and get a confirmation with a calendar invite. You run your day from one calendar.
There is no limit on forms, bookings or customers, nothing is charged per booking, and every booking stays in your own WordPress database.
Get Calendarista Solo for online payments, reminders, customer self-service, calendar sync and the mobile app.
A booking form clients finish in a minute. One step at a time: the date, the time, guests if you allow them, your own questions, then their details. Only times that are actually free are shown. The form takes your theme’s font, your colours and your corner style, so it looks like part of your site. Add it with a block or a shortcode.
Availability that matches how you work.
- Working hours per weekday, with more than one range a day.
- Three ways to offer times: fixed start times, a regular interval, or appointment lengths the client chooses.
- Breaks between appointments, and more than one client per time slot when you need it.
- Days off, blocked date ranges, seasonal exceptions and one-off special hours.
- A daily booking limit.
- Two clients can never take the same last slot: bookings are reserved inside a database lock.
As many booking forms as you need. One per service, each with its own hours, questions and look. A listing block shows several services as cards, so visitors pick one and book without leaving the page.
A calendar you run your day from. Every booking on a scheduler view and in a searchable table. Approve, cancel, reschedule or delete; add private notes; approve or cancel many at once. Book clients yourself from the admin, including weekly repeating appointments.
Confirm instantly, or approve each request. Bookings can confirm straight away or wait for you. The client is emailed either way.
Emails that look like yours. Confirmations to the client and notices to you, with your logo, colour and signature. Every confirmation carries a calendar invite and “Add to Google Calendar” and Outlook links.
Your own questions on the form. Short text, long text, drop-downs and checkboxes, required or optional. Mark an answer as sensitive and it stays in the booking record, left out of every email.
Where the appointment happens. An address for in-person appointments, or a fixed meeting link for online ones, included in every confirmation.
Spam protection that never blocks real clients. A rate limit, a hidden honeypot field and a form timer are on by default.
Privacy built in. An optional consent checkbox with your own text, and support for WordPress’s personal data export and erasure tools.
Ready for your language. Every string, the booking form’s included, can be translated on translate.wordpress.org, and WordPress installs the translations for your site’s language automatically.
Calendarista Solo
Lite is complete for taking bookings. Calendarista Solo adds what a busier practice needs:
- Online payments through Stripe, PayPal or Square.
- Paid add-ons clients pick while they book, and a price per extra guest.
- Email reminders before each appointment, and SMS reminders through your own Twilio account.
- Secure links that let clients reschedule or cancel by themselves.
- Two-way Google Calendar sync, and a Google Meet or Zoom link created for every booking.
- The Calendarista companion app for iOS and Android.
- AI assistance: set up a form by describing it, search bookings in plain language, and booking summaries.
- Email support.
Moving up keeps everything: both plugins read the same forms, bookings and settings, and Lite steps aside when Calendarista Solo is activated.
External services
This plugin does not connect to any external service.
Confirmation emails offer clients “Add to Google Calendar” and Outlook links. They are ordinary links: nothing is sent to Google or Microsoft unless the client clicks one.
