The Booking Calendar Contact Form plugin allows you to create a powerful and flexible booking form for your WordPress website. Easily create a reservation form with a booking calendar where users can select start and end dates (like check-in/check-out) or single dates.

It’s the perfect solution for hotels, property rentals, service providers, and anyone needing to accept bookings and payments. The built-in PayPal integration (which is SCA-ready) allows you to securely process payments for reservations.

The reservation calendar is completely optional, so you can also use the plugin to create a general-purpose contact form or payment form.
