GeoDirectory Appointments

Many directories list businesses but leave the booking to phone calls or outside tools. This add-on brings reservations into the listings themselves. A salon, a fitness class or a consultant can offer time slots, and customers pick one without leaving the directory. It works with GeoDirectory listings and workflows, so your existing directory structure stays in place.

Payments and money handling are built in. You can ask for full payment, a deposit, or no payment at booking, and you can charge a commission or service fee on every appointment. Cancellations and refunds are handled, and providers can request withdrawals. Email notifications go to customers and providers, with buttons to approve or reject a booking, view it, or pay.

Features

• Bookings inside listings: Users reserve available time slots directly on directory listings, which suits salons, classes, consultations and other appointment-based services.
• Flexible payment options: Choose between full payment, a deposit, or no payment at the time of booking to match the way each type of service works.
• Commission and service fees: Charge a commission or service fee on every appointment, so the marketplace owner earns from the bookings made through the directory.
• Cancellations and refunds: The add-on manages appointment cancellations and refunds, so customers and providers have a defined process when plans change.
• Provider withdrawals: Service providers can request and manage withdrawals of their earnings, which keeps the financial side of the marketplace organized.
• Adjustable booking settings: Configure booking parameters such as time slots, availability and buffer times so each service can follow its own schedule.
• Email notifications and reminders: Customers and providers receive email alerts and reminders. Emails include Approve, Reject, View Booking and Pay buttons, and show the time slot and customer comments.
• Multi-booking order notices: When an order contains several appointments, one notification lists every slot and offers order-level Approve and Reject actions.
