SyncBooking

SyncBooking turns your WordPress site into a direct-booking website: a floating booking bar, a self-contained booking page with real-time availability, and a booking-management page. Availability, rooms, prices, page content and design come from your SyncBooking account; guests complete the reservation on the SyncBooking checkout.

External Services

This plugin connects to the SyncBooking service to validate the API key, fetch availability and page content, and complete the booking, and it can embed a map on the booking page. Fonts and stylesheets are bundled: nothing about the look of the pages is downloaded.
