BookingPress - Apple Calendar Integration

Double bookings happen when appointments live in two places. A client books through your website while a staff member already has something in their Apple Calendar, and nobody notices until the day arrives. This add-on connects the two so each side knows what the other holds. Appointments made through BookingPress are added to Apple Calendar automatically, and events already on the calendar are marked as unavailable for new bookings.

Staff can also set how each calendar entry looks. Event titles, descriptions and locations are adjustable in the settings, which makes entries easy to recognize at a glance. The add-on is built for BookingPress users, so it fits into an existing booking setup. It suits businesses whose teams already keep their schedules in Apple Calendar and want one consistent view of appointments and other commitments.

Features

• Two-way calendar syncing: Schedules stay aligned in both directions. Bookings from BookingPress go into Apple Calendar, and Apple Calendar events feed back into BookingPress to help prevent scheduling conflicts.
• Automatic appointment entries: Appointments made through BookingPress are added to Apple Calendar on their own, so staff do not need to copy booking details across by hand.
• Existing events block bookings: Events already in Apple Calendar are marked as unavailable in BookingPress, so clients only see time slots that are actually open.
• Custom event titles: Staff can choose how the title of each calendar event reads in the settings, which helps them identify appointments quickly.
• Editable event descriptions: The description field of each calendar entry can be customized in the settings, so staff can include the details they want to see.
• Custom event locations: A location can be set for the events that BookingPress creates, keeping calendar entries informative for staff on the go.
• Shared view of availability: Staff availability across BookingPress and Apple Calendar is brought together, which makes coordination and planning simpler for teams.

Best for
