    Booking App for Shopify: Google Calendar Feature

    Updated 7 September 2022

    In order to manage bookings, Calendar Integration is a compulsory feature for every online booking system. This is the reason we thought of integrating Google Calendar with our Booking App for Shopify. Thus, you can now have the Google Calendar feature in your booking system.

    In the Add-On section of the app, you will get the Google Calendar add-on. Click the install the button to get the add-on installed into your store. This option will allow admin as well as the customer to add booking events to Google Calendar once the booking gets approved.

    There will be two cases:-

    CASE 1: When “Auto-approval” tab is turned ON

    If you have turned ON the Auto-Approval tab, you and your customers will receive a Google Calendar Link on each booking via mail once the booking gets auto-approved.

    Here is the mail received by customer on Booking Confirmation:-

    For this Link, you as an admin need to configure the mail content from the app by adding a placeholder:
    “{%google_calendar%}”

    Refer below Screenshot:

    CASE 2: When “Auto-approval” tab is turned OFF

    Even if a booking is unapproved, you need to approve the customer’s booking manually from the app to send a “Booking Confirmation” mail to your customers with the Google Calendar Link.

    Now, after the bookings get approved, the admin will have the Calendar Booking option on the Edit Booking section of the app.
