From Booking > Emails, you can enable/disable each email sent by YITH Booking.
You can also override the default settings, simply by opening the specific email you want to change.
Concerning the message, you can use the available placeholders and also customize the message content by taking advantage of the built-in editor which is accessible by clicking on the pencil icon.
To restore the default message, just click on the related link.
Booking emails include the iCal event so that Gmail shows the event in the email, if you set the email type as “Multipart/alternative”.
Below you can find a list of all the available emails:
All the booking notifications emails include the option to select the booking status/statuses that will trigger the email sending. If a customer creates a booking after the days range you have configured, the email will be sent a few minutes after the booking creation.
Example: you want to send the email 7 days before the start date. Today is March 15 and a customer creates a booking that will start on March 20, therefore, 5 days before the start date. In this case, they will receive the booking notification email today.
EMAIL EXAMPLE
The plugin includes 2 widgets and 4 blocks to print the bookable product and search forms anywhere on your website.
The ‘Bookable product’ widget and block allow you to print a list of bookable products.
You can manage the selection of products shown by type:
You can also decide the number of columns and rows you want to show in the block.
This block inherits the style options from the theme that you are using.
With the ‘Booking form’ block, you will be able to print a form for one specific product, so it can be displayed on any page on your site (not just the product page). In this way, the customer can select the dates and add the product to the cart in a few clicks.
Search for “Booking form” among the blocks.
Then, you will be able to select a product (you can type the product name) from the Block settings on the right-hand side.
The block includes also the following options:

From YITH > Booking > Dashboard > All bookings > “Create booking” you can manually add new bookings
Note: this is to create a “booking”, not to create the “booking product” itself.
You can decide to link the booking to an existing user, or a guest user. Search the booking product you want to use, add the dates, and, if enabled, the number of people, resources, services, etc.
Note: When creating a booking, all the dates included must be available and consecutive. For example, users can’t book any product or service from October 1st to October 10th if the 5th and 6th have been already booked by another customer.
Below you will see the totals of the booking, and the button to create the booking.
The “Assign to order” option lets you decide whether to link the booking to an order or not:
This is the only way to add a ‘booking product‘, to an order. You cannot add a booking product to the order from the ‘edit order’ page.
Be careful if you choose to associate an already existing order.
This could cause issues with invoice management.
