The GeoDirectory Appointments plugin is a specialized add-on designed to transform a standard business directory into a functional service marketplace. Unlike general booking plugins, it is built specifically to work within the GeoDirectory ecosystem, allowing listing owners (providers) to manage their own schedules.

Time-Slot Based Bookings: Designed for services that require specific start times (e.g., hair salons, doctors, consultants, or fitness classes). It supports bookings by the hour or minute.
Provider Autonomy: Each listing owner can manage their own availability, define custom time slots, and set specific durations or buffer times between appointments.
Multi-Service Support: A single listing can offer multiple different services, each with its own pricing, duration, and availability rules.
Monetization: Site admins can charge a commission on every appointment booked. It also supports optional service fees for the platform.
