Charter Booker

Popis

Charter Booker gives charter businesses a complete booking workflow inside WordPress, from trip setup to customer confirmation.

Create trip types, assign captains and boats, control capacity, and publish bookable trips on your website with simple shortcodes. Customers can browse availability and submit booking requests in a clean frontend flow, while your team manages schedules, statuses, and notifications from wp-admin.

Whether you run inshore, offshore, private group, or specialty trips, Charter Booker is designed to help you:

  • Capture more direct bookings from your own website.
  • Reduce back-and-forth scheduling and manual admin work.
  • Keep bookings, trip data, and communication organized in one place.

Core features include:

  • Custom post types for captains, boats, trips, and bookings.
  • Admin dashboards and list tables for operations.
  • Trip scheduling with availability checks.
  • Capacity controls and overbooking settings.
  • Booking status and payment tracking.
  • Email templates for customer and admin notifications.
  • Optional compatibility with a separately distributed Charter Booker Pro plugin.

Premium features include:

  • Stripe checkout integration with test/live mode and connection checks.
  • PayPal checkout integration with sandbox/live mode and connection checks.
  • Per-trip deposit controls (fixed amount or percentage) and „must pay in full“ options.
  • Advanced pricing support for time-based rules and manual price overrides.
  • Trip-level max party size overrides for finer capacity control.
  • Monthly sales and bookings dashboard panels for quick performance insights.

The WordPress.org package is fully functional for all features included in this plugin and does not require a license key to use those included features.
