Product Overview
Bookt is a WordPress appointment booking and scheduler plugin built to automate the entire scheduling workflow for service-based businesses, consultants, agencies, and teams. Instead of juggling emails, spreadsheets, and calendar invites, you get a self-service booking experience that handles availability, reminders, video meetings, and payments — all from your WordPress dashboard.
Key Features
- Automated scheduling: Clients pick available time slots based on your real-time calendar; confirmations and reminders go out automatically.
- Zoom integration: Every booked appointment generates a unique Zoom meeting link instantly — no manual copy-paste required.
- Built-in payment processing: Accept secure online payments at the moment of booking for paid services, deposits, or packages.
- Calendar sync: Two-way sync keeps your external calendar (Google, Outlook) and Bookt in lockstep so availability is always accurate.
- Double-booking prevention: Real-time slot locking ensures the same time can’t be booked twice.
- Team support: Manage multiple staff calendars, services, and locations from one interface.
- Customizable booking forms: Collect the exact information you need before the appointment.
- Quick setup: Install, configure your services and availability, and embed the booking form via shortcode or block — live in minutes.

Why Choose Bookt?
Most booking plugins handle either scheduling or payments or video calls. Bookt combines all three in a lightweight WordPress-native plugin that installs like any other plugin — no external SaaS accounts, no iframe embeds, no monthly per-seat fees. You own the data, the experience, and the revenue flow.
