Schednex Appointment Booking<\/strong> is a free WordPress appointment booking and scheduling plugin. Add an online booking form to any page, and let customers reserve a service, choose a staff member and pick an available date and time, 24\/7. Manage every appointment from one dashboard with a booking calendar, with no external account needed.<\/p>\n\n

Customers only see time slots that are really available, based on your services, staff, working hours, breaks, holidays and capacity. Availability is checked again on the server before a booking is saved, to help prevent double bookings.<\/p>\n\n

Use it as an appointment scheduler, a reservation system or a booking calendar for your service business.<\/p>\n\n
