Book a Whole Group in One WooCommerce Reservation
Book a whole group in one WooCommerce reservation. ARB adds Person Types, per-person pricing, and per-slot seat caps for a one-time $55, no yearly fee.
You sell one slot to a whole party, price every attendee by type, and cap seats inside your own WooCommerce checkout.
Adjust attendee counts in the live demo before you buy.
One Reservation Handles the Entire Party
ARB turns a single Reservable Product into a full group booking form.
- Price every attendee by type. Person Types give Adult, Child, or Ticket each its own rate.
- Never oversell a slot. Max Reservations per Slot caps total seats across every order.
- Count real heads, not orders. Count Persons as Items debits each attendee against capacity.
- Reward bigger groups. A Person Count discount range drops the price past your set headcount.
Every Group-Booking Control in One Product
Four settings work together to book, price, and cap a whole group.
Give Each Attendee Type Its Own Price
Person Types let one booking mix Adult, Child, or Ticket rates instead of a flat quantity.
- Set per-type minimum, maximum, and price.
- Mix adult and child counts together.
- Add extra types for per-person add-ons.
Cap Seats Across Every Order
Max Reservations per Slot sets a hard seat total that no order can push past.
- Cap a class at ten seats.
- Show a live left-slots counter.
- Combine with availability rules per slot.
Count Heads Against Capacity
Count Persons as Items makes every attendee consume one seat, not one order.
- Debit five people as five seats.
- Stop groups splitting across separate orders.
- Keep total occupancy at true capacity.
Reward Larger Groups Automatically
A Person Count range on the Costs tab lowers price once a booking passes your threshold.
- Discount once more than one books.
- Stack with dynamic pricing by date.
- Configure once, no discount plugin needed.
Set Up a Group Booking in Four Steps
Configure one Reservable Product, then publish it to your booking calendar.
- Create a Reservable Product and set its duration.
- Set Max Reservations per Slot for total capacity.
- Add Person Types with per-type prices on the Persons tab.
- Turn on Count Persons as Items, then publish.
ARB Group Booking vs a Plain WooCommerce Product
A standard WooCommerce product sells one quantity at one price and cannot cap a slot.
| Capability | ARB group booking | Plain WooCommerce product |
|---|---|---|
| Person types (Adult, Child) | Named types, each priced | One product, one price |
| Per-person pricing | Per-type rate on one order | Flat price times quantity |
| Capacity per slot | Max Reservations per Slot caps seats | No per-slot seat cap |
| Total-headcount handling | Count Persons as Items debits each attendee | Counts orders, not people |
| Group discount | Person Count range on the Costs tab | Manual coupons only |
ARB adds all of this as a one-time $55 license, versus $249 a year for WooCommerce Bookings.

FAQs
What is group booking in WooCommerce?
Group booking in WooCommerce is one customer reserving a single slot, class, tour, or event for multiple attendees at once. It carries a seat cap and a per-person price, instead of one booking per person.
Is there a free WooCommerce group booking plugin?
No. ARB is a one-time paid plugin, sold on CodeCanyon for $55, with no free or lite tier. Evaluate the group booking flow on the live demo before buying.
How do I charge different prices for adults and children?
Enable Person Types on the Persons tab, then add Adult and Child as separate types, each with its own price, minimum, and maximum. One booking totals every type together.
How do I limit how many people can book one slot?
Set Max Reservations per Slot on the Availability tab to the slot's true seat count. Then turn on Count Persons as Items, so every attendee, not just every order, counts against that cap.
Can I give a discount for larger groups?
Yes. Add a Person Count range on the Costs tab that lowers price once a booking passes an attendee threshold. It stacks with any date or time range already applied.
Is group booking the same as group buying or bulk discounts?
No. Group booking caps capacity and prices attendees on one reservation. Group buying is a separate WooCommerce extension for bulk-quantity discount deals on ordinary products.
Do customers book the whole group in one order?
Yes. A group books through one Reservable Product and one WooCommerce checkout, with every attendee and person type included in that single order.
Can each person add options or extras?
Yes. Additional person types can represent add-ons rather than attendees, such as extra checkbox fields for snacks or upgrades added to the same booking.
Does group booking work with my WooCommerce payment gateways, taxes, and coupons?
Yes. Every group booking runs through your store's existing WooCommerce gateways, tax rules, and coupons, since ARB adds a product type rather than a separate checkout.
