  • New Booking: this email is sent to the customer when a booking is created;
  • Confirmed Booking: this email is sent to the customer when a booking with a request for confirmation is confirmed;

  • Cancelled Booking: this email is sent to the customer when a booking is cancelled;
  • Paid Booking: this email is sent to the customer when a booking is paid;
  • Completed Booking: this email is sent to the customer when a booking is completed;

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.

YITH WooCommerce Review Reminder

With the YITH WooCommerce Review Reminder plugin, you can increase the number of reviews on the products of your shop. An email will be sent to users through an automatic system, to invite them to review one or more products they purchased.

By integrating these two plugins, you will be able to send a review reminder email to users who purchased a bookable product to invite them to leave a review about their experience.

You can find the email settings in YITH > Review Reminder > Email Settings > “Email body for booking products”.

Integration with YITH Review Reminder

You can customize the email body and use the available placeholders: {site_title}, {customer_name}, {customer_email}, {order_id}, {order_date}, {order_date_completed}, {order_list}, {days_ago}, {unsubscribe_link}.

For further details about the settings of YITH WooCommerce Review Reminder, please refer to the official documentation.

Create a booking manually

From YITH > Booking > Dashboard > All bookings > “Create booking” you can manually add new bookings

Create-booking button

Note: this is to create a “booking”, not to create the “booking product” itself.

Create booking - modal window

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:

Assign booking to an order
  • Don’t assign this booking to any order: the booking will be created without a linked order.
  • Assign this booking to a specific order: a new field will appear where you can add the specific order number.
  • Create new order for this booking: Booking will create a new booking and a new order. After creating both of them, you’ll be redirected to the “edit order” page to see the result.
Order with booking

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.
