The Directorist Booking extension is a premium add-on for the Directorist WordPress plugin. It transforms a standard directory into a full-service marketplace where users can book appointments, reserve slots, or buy tickets directly from a listing.

The plugin is divided into three primary booking categories to cover various industries:
Service Booking: Best for appointments (doctors, salons, lawyers). It uses “Time Slots” where providers set their availability.
Event Booking: Focuses on ticket sales and registrations for specific dates (concerts, seminars).
Rental/Reservation System: Suitable for restaurants or equipment rentals where you might need to manage guests and specific dates.
