VI Schedule Pro

Professional appointment scheduling for WordPress — with payments built in

Most booking plugins either overwhelm you with features you don’t need, or lock basic functionality behind aggressive paywalls.

VI Schedule Pro strikes the balance.

It’s a clean, professional appointment scheduling system for WordPress with Stripe Checkout, staff availability, scheduling rules, and customer self-service — designed for real businesses, not marketplaces.
