Bookly Multisite - Powerful booking management in a WordPress Multisite environment

Bookly Multisite is an extension for WordPress multisite installations that allows you to deploy a comprehensive booking system across multiple pages or subdomains within a single network. Designed for agencies, service chains, franchises, and platforms offering independent calendars for individual locations while maintaining centralized configuration and resource management.

Key Features of Bookly Multisite

• Network activation and individual activation of the plug-in for individual network sites.
• Permission management: Assign network administrators and individual site administrators with calendar access control.
• Centralized booking form templates and the ability to customize them per subsite.
• Isolate customer data and schedules at the per-site level, while retaining the option to share the customer database if required.
• Integration with popular payment systems and gateways (e.g. WooCommerce), with the possibility of configuration per site.
• Calendar synchronization with external services (e.g. Google Calendar) at the site level.
• Support for e-mail and SMS notifications, which can be personalized separately for each subpage.
• Compatibility with Bookly add-ons: extend functionality with modules for managing inventory, coupons, memberships, and reports.

Benefits of implementation

• Scalability — Bookly Multisite allows you to expand your network of sites while maintaining a consistent booking system, making it easier to scale your business and quickly implement additional locations.
• Save time – Centrally manage templates and settings to speed up the setup of new sites and ensure consistent booking processes.
• Flexibility – each subsite can have its own booking rules, rates and opening hours, which works well in networks with diverse offers.
• Improved customer experience – Consistent forms and integrated notifications improve the booking experience, while location selection increases conversions.
• Data Control – Options for sharing or separating customer and schedule databases allow you to tailor the level of centralization to your privacy and reporting needs.

Bookly Multisite Applications

Bookly Multisite is ideal for situations where a single WordPress installation supports multiple independent service providers or theme-based websites. Examples include:

• Chains of beauty salons and hairdressers requiring separate schedules and price lists for each location.
• Clinic chains and private medical practices that need separate schedules for doctors but a common reporting system.
• Franchise platforms and service marketplaces where partners run independent booking calendars.
• Educational websites offering courses and training on multiple subdomains with the ability to centrally manage instructors and materials.

Technical Notes and Compatibility

• Installing in a WordPress Multisite environment allows you to activate your network or selectively enable Bookly Multisite for selected sites.
• It is recommended to work with caching and performance optimization when dealing with a large number of subdomains and heavy booking traffic.
• Integrates with existing payment plugins, external calendars, and analytics tools as business needs require.
• Configuring user roles and permissions allows you to securely delegate administrative tasks without revealing full access to the entire network.

Bookly Multisite is a solution for administrators who need to control and scale their booking system across multiple sites. With flexible settings, site-level data isolation, and integration with additional Bookly modules, this tool simplifies managing appointments, resources, and customers across large online organizations.
