Upload and Activate On Your WordPress site
Once installed, you’ll be ready to start managing and booking appointments from your WordPress site. You’ll see a brand new “Appointments” tab has been added to your WordPress dashboard.

Create a Booking calendar with our Setup Wizard
The first time you visit the new “Appointments” tab in your WordPress dashboard, you’ll be greeted by our Setup Wizard. This’ll help you set up your first appointment booking calendar for your coaching services such as consultations, classes, and check-ins.

The next step is to embed it onto your site. Use the default shortcode or a page builder widget to add it to any page layout. After this you’re ready to customize the rest of the booking system to meet your coaching scheduling needs!

What other business owners have to say
Simply Schedule is a phenomenal solution that has provided all of the features I need. Combined with Gravity Forms, I was able to create fully customizable booking for my customers. The bookings are also synced with Google Calendar and my other sites in real time (preventing double-bookings and schedule conflicts). Payment is also fully integrated within the system without any issues.
