A Deeper Look at RnBCal’s Core Functionality

Let’s explore the three pillars that make RnBCal an indispensable tool for any rental or booking business. These features work together to create a flawless, automated scheduling system.

Effortless Two-Way Real-Time Synchronization

The magic of RnBCal lies in its robust two-way sync capability. This isn’t a simple one-way data push; it’s a continuous, intelligent conversation between your website and your calendars. When a customer places a booking on your site, the slot is instantly reserved and an event is created in your connected Google or Apple Calendar.

Conversely, if you manually block out a time slot on your phone’s calendar for a personal appointment, RnBCal detects it. It then automatically marks that time as unavailable on your WooCommerce store, preventing any customers from booking it. This real-time, bi-directional flow of information is the key to eliminating scheduling conflicts forever.

Unmatched Platform Compatibility

Your team and your personal life don’t revolve around a single platform, and your booking plugin shouldn’t either. RnBCal was built on the universal iCalendar (.ics) standard, guaranteeing compatibility with virtually any modern calendar service. This flexibility is a game-changer.

Whether your business runs on Microsoft Office365, your team collaborates using Google Workspace, or you personally use an iPhone with Apple Calendar, RnBCal integrates perfectly. There are no special requirements or complicated APIs to manage. Simply generate the iCal link and import it into your calendar of choice.

Smart WooCommerce Integration and Workflow Automation

RnBCal goes beyond basic booking. It deeply integrates with the WooCommerce order lifecycle to automate your administrative tasks. You can configure the plugin to react to specific order statuses.

For example, an event is created when an order is ‘Processing’. If the customer’s payment fails and the order is ‘Cancelled’, RnBCal automatically removes the event from your calendar, freeing up the time slot for another customer. This intelligent automation keeps your schedule clean, accurate, and reflective of your actual business status without you lifting a finger.

Frequently Asked Questions About RnBCal

Does RnBCal work with the latest version of WordPress and WooCommerce?

Absolutely. We ensure that our plugins are always tested and compatible with the latest stable releases of WordPress and WooCommerce. You can install it with confidence, knowing it will integrate seamlessly with your modern e-commerce setup.

How does the two-way sync work if I use Google Calendar?

The process is straightforward. RnBCal generates an iCal feed URL for each of your bookable products. You add this URL to your Google Calendar. Any new bookings from WooCommerce will appear in Google. To block availability, you simply create a new event in that same Google Calendar, and RnBCal will read it and make the time slot unavailable on your website.

What happens to the calendar event if a customer cancels their order?

RnBCal’s smart integration handles this automatically. When an order’s status changes to ‘Cancelled’ or ‘Refunded’ in WooCommerce, the plugin removes the corresponding event from your synced calendar. This instantly frees up the slot for a new booking without any manual intervention.

Is it safe to use this GPL version of RnBCal on my live store?

Yes, it is 100% safe. We distribute the original software as released by the developer, under the GPL. The code is not modified or tampered with in any way, ensuring you get a secure and stable product for your e-commerce store.

Can I customize the information that appears in my calendar events?

Yes, you can. RnBCal provides settings to customize the event summary (title) and description. You can use placeholders to automatically pull in customer details, order numbers, product names, and other order-specific information directly into the calendar event.

Will I receive updates for this plugin?

Of course. As long as you have an active subscription with us, you will receive timely updates for RnBCal. We provide you with the latest versions as they are released by the original developer, ensuring your site remains secure and feature-rich.

Does this plugin support variable products or products with add-ons?
