Everything a paid session needs, inside your store

ARB turns a WooCommerce product into a bookable, payable session, so you sell your time without bolting on a second app.

• Paid at your own checkout: every WooCommerce gateway, coupon, and tax rule already applies to your session payments.
• No double-booking: Max Reservations per Slot caps each slot at one client, with a buffer after.
• Per-session or package pricing through Base Cost and automatic slot-count discounts.
• One-time price: $55 on CodeCanyon, no monthly fee, plus $249 for client sites.

The features consultants actually book with

Fixed session slots that fit your week

Set a fixed 30, 60, or 90 minute session, then open only the days you actually work.

• Pick a fixed length or hourly blocks.
• Open availability windows, lead times, and buffers.
• Sync bookings to Google Calendar via the $19 add-on.

Price per session or per package

Charge one flat Base Cost per session, or discount a multi-session package automatically by slot count.

• Set a flat price per single session.
• Drop the rate for multi-session packages.
• Apply coupons and tax at checkout.

Vet clients before you charge

Use Request for Quote or confirmation-required mode to approve a client before any payment is taken.

• Send custom quotes for scoped engagements.
• Hold payment until you approve the booking.
• Stop two clients grabbing the same slot.

Set up paid session booking in four steps

Setting up WooCommerce appointment booking for one-on-one work takes four moves.

1. Create a Reservable Product for your session or package.
2. Set duration, availability, buffer, and lead time.
3. Price it per session or per package.
4. Client books, pays at checkout, and gets a confirmation.

Is ARB right for your practice?

ARB fits solo coaches and small firms that model each consultant as a resource, so here is the honest test.

Great fit if:

• You sell one-time paid sessions through a WooCommerce store.
• You want payment, coupons, and tax on your own checkout.
• You want a one-time license, not a monthly subscription.

Look elsewhere if:

• You need deposits or partial payments at booking.
• You need two-way calendar sync or built-in staff and team logins.
• You need native SMS without the $15 add-on, or free hosted scheduling.

Own your booking once, book sessions forever

Get ARB for a one-time $55 and keep every session, payment, and coupon inside your WooCommerce store. Open the live ARB demo to test a paid session before you buy.

FAQs

What is the best WordPress booking plugin for consultants?

ARB is the best fit when sessions sell through a WooCommerce store. Standalone tools like Calendly suit free scheduling with no store behind it.

Can clients pay when they book a session?

Yes. Every session checks out as a WooCommerce order, so the store's own gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, and Square, apply automatically.

Is there a free booking plugin for consultants?

ARB is a one-time paid plugin, not free. Free standalone schedulers exist, but they do not sell sessions through a WooCommerce store checkout.

Can I stop two clients from booking the same time?

Yes. Set Max Reservations per Slot to 1, and that slot disappears from the calendar the moment one client books it.

Can I add a break between sessions?

Yes. The vacant period setting on the Availability tab adds a buffer after each session before the next slot opens.

Can I sell coaching packages, not just single sessions?

Yes. Add Range pricing by Slot Count discounts multi-session packages automatically. ARB has no deposit field, so use RFQ or confirmation-required instead.

Can I take custom-quote or enterprise consulting requests?

Yes. Request for Quote mode turns the booking form into a quote request. Confirmation-required mode holds payment until you approve the client.

Does ARB sync to Google Calendar?

Core ARB exports an iCalendar (.ics) file. Live Google Calendar sync needs the separate paid add-on and only pushes bookings one way.

Do I need WooCommerce to use ARB?

Yes. ARB is a WooCommerce extension. A consultant with no online store fits a standalone scheduler better than ARB.
