FAQ
Is there a free WordPress appointment booking plugin that actually works for real clients?
Yes. HDL Appointments Basic is free for one staff member with live booking, emails, and a customer portal—not a demo shell.
Can I use it for a salon or only for consultants?
Any service with timed appointments: salon, therapy, tutoring, auto bay time, coaching, grooming, and more.
What happens when I hire staff?
Upgrade to Pro (up to 10 staff) without changing how clients book.
Do I need WooCommerce?
No for Basic booking. WooCommerce can connect later for paid services or packages on higher tiers.
Is my data on my site?
Yes. It runs on your WordPress install—not a third-party booking SaaS calendar your clients must learn.
