BOOKINGS WITH PAYMENTS

BOOKED AND PAID IN THE SAME TAP

Instinctor is a free WordPress plugin that takes bookings and deposits together: real-time availability, a deposit to hold the slot and a calendar you own. Automatic reminders come with Instinctor Pro. It all runs on Impulse, the Instinctor website builder.
ONE PLUGIN, NOT FIVE
A WordPress booking usually means a calendar plugin, a payments bridge, a reminders tool and a deposits add-on, four things that must agree on every slot and every timezone.
Instinctor holds the slot and takes the deposit in one plugin, so a booking is paid before it is confirmed.
Real-time availability
Customers see open slots and book the one that works, with no double-bookings.
Availability that is always right
Your calendar updates the instant someone books, so two people never grab the same slot.
Deposits
Take a deposit to lock the slot.
Paid when they book
Require a deposit to confirm, so no-shows drop and your calendar holds real appointments.
Reminders with Pro
With Pro, email and text reminders go out before every appointment.
Reminders that cut no-shows
With Instinctor Pro the plugin reminds customers before their time, so fewer people forget and more people show up.
Your calendar
Every booking lands on a calendar you own and control.
One calendar you own
See your whole day at a glance, block time off, and never hand your schedule to a third-party app.
Staff and services
Multiple staff, services and durations, each with their own availability.
Built for real schedules
Set different services, durations and team members, and let customers pick the right one.
You own it
Bookings, customers and payments all live on your WordPress site.
Your bookings stay yours
No marketplace between you and your customers. The calendar and the list stay on your site.

BUILT TO FILL THE CALENDAR

Made to keep your days full

A booking tool is only worth it if it fills your calendar and cuts no-shows. Instinctor is built to do both.
Fewer no-shows
A deposit means the people who book are the people who show.
Fewer phone calls
Customers self-book around the clock, so your phone stops being the booking system.
One place for it all
Calendar, customers and payments share one login, right in WordPress.
WHY SWITCH

One plugin instead of a stack

Taking paid bookings on WordPress usually means a calendar plugin, a payments add-on and a reminders tool that each cost money and each break on their own schedule.
