About this plugin
SimplyBuy turns your website into an instant price calculator for junk removal, house clearance and moving jobs. Customers search for the items they want removed (sofa, wardrobe, fridge, mattress …), see the price immediately, pick a date and a time slot, and send the booking. You get the job by email and in your Google Calendar.
No WooCommerce, no payment gateway, no checkout steps your customers don’t need. Payment happens on site, the way most removal businesses already work.
SimplyBuy was built for a real clearance company in Germany and has been running there in daily use, handling real bookings.
How it works for your customers
- Type an item into the search field: “bed” shows every bed in your price list.
- Add items to the list, change quantities, see the running total.
- Choose floor, elevator and carrying distance. Surcharges are added automatically.
- Pick a date and a morning or afternoon slot.
- Enter address and contact details and book. A confirmation email goes out right away.

What SimplyBuy is not
SimplyBuy is not an online shop. It does not take payments, has no stock management and no shipping. If you need to sell products online, use WooCommerce.
If you need customers to book a removal job at a clear price, SimplyBuy is the lighter tool.
Pro features
These features are available in SimplyBuy Pro:
- Direct price link: send a customer a link with a fixed price, they only choose date and time
- Minimum pickup price: small jobs are raised to your minimum
- Block days in one click: for example every Sunday for the whole year
- Bulk price adjustment: change all prices by percentage or fixed amount, with preview
- Automatic review requests: an email asking for a review after the job, with configurable delay
You can also unlock all Pro features for free by allowing a small “Powered by SimplyBuy” link on your site. The link is only shown after you agree to it in the plugin settings, and you can switch it off at any time.
Multilingual
- Polylang: fully supported. Search and products follow the page language; cart, checkout and thank-you pages are created per language.
