Rox Appointment Booking

Rox Appointment Booking is a free WordPress booking plugin from the Wpmet team — services, agents, schedules, payments, and customer management in one system for salons, clinics, consultants, and service businesses.

What is Rox Appointment Booking?

Rox Appointment Booking is a WordPress appointment and booking plugin built by Wpmet, the team behind ElementsKit, MetForm, and ShopEngine. It turns a service business's website into a self-service booking system: customers pick a location, service, and agent, see real-time open slots, and complete the booking with payment if needed. The plugin is free on WordPress.org and offers a genuinely usable free tier (unlimited services, one agent), with Pro unlocking unlimited agents, deposits and partial payments, group services, per-agent schedules, custom booking fields, and Google Calendar/Meet sync. Wpmet launched it in June 2026 and is running a time-limited early-bird lifetime deal (up to 76% off) on three tiers from $59 to $179. Because it's new, public reviews are still thin, and the changelog shows weekly feature drops and fixes — a sign of momentum, but also that the plugin is still being battle-tested.

Key Features

• Booking Panel — Multi-step form as a Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, or shortcode; launch from a service list, button, or class schedule
• Real-Time Availability — Slots checked against agent hours, service length, business hours, breaks, and holidays so customers never double-book
• Unlimited Agents & Locations — Per-agent schedules, special days, holidays, and assigned services under one calendar
• Payments & Deposits — Stripe, PayPal, and WooCommerce checkout with fixed or percentage deposits and pay-later options
• Coupons & Discounts — Auto-applied coupon codes to fill slow days without discounting everything
• Google Calendar & Meet Sync — Pro syncs bookings to Google Calendar and attaches Meet links for virtual appointments
• Customer & Agent Portals — Self-service booking, reschedule, cancel, and payment history without admin access
• Group & Recurring Bookings — Capacity-managed group services and recurring appointments
• Email Notifications — Confirmation, reminder, and payment emails with a template editor and per-recipient toggles

Who is it for?

• Salons, spas, and clinics that want clients to self-book instead of calling
• Consultants, coaches, and tutors running one-person schedules who want a free starting point
• Yoga studios and class-based businesses that need capacity-limited group bookings
• WordPress site owners who want booking on their own domain without a monthly SaaS subscription
• Agencies managing many client sites — the Agency license covers unlimited sites

Who is it NOT for?

• Businesses that need events, ticketing, or hotel-style room booking — Rox is appointments and group bookings only
• Teams that want a mature plugin with years of reviews, add-ons, and a proven ecosystem (consider Amelia or Bookly)
• Anyone who wants a standalone booking link rather than a WordPress install
• Buyers who avoid betting on a brand-new plugin with zero public reviews yet
