User Guide for CS-Cart Booking Reservation System

CS-Cart Booking Reservation System enables vendors to sell rental (hourly/daily), appointment, and hotel bookings directly from the Multi-Vendor panel.

Customers can easily select their preferred time slots and quantities from the storefront.

Vendors can manage availability by blocking specific dates or defining multiple booking slots per day with separate capacities.

The system enables both vendors and customers to cancel bookings when required.

It also supports bulk booking rules, flexible pricing rules, advanced order filters, and seamless synchronization with Google Calendar and ICS invites.

These features ensure efficient and consistent booking management across both the storefront and vendor panel.
