Booking Made Better: Check Out the Latest Enhancements to Our Booking Plugin
The Teachworks Website Booking Plugin has come a long way since it was first launched in 2017. We’ve added many additional settings and options based on feedback we’ve received from our clients.
In this article, we’ll provide some general information about the Website booking plugin, highlight the latest enhancements, and look at some bonus (optional) options.
More About The Website Booking Plugin
The Website Booking Plugin allows you to add a button or link to your website that clients can click to book lessons, join open classes or enroll in courses. The booking button and text can be customized to match your website and you can choose between a button that displays along the bottom edge of the browser, a normal button that can be added to any page on your website, or you can add a link.
The plugin can be used by new and existing clients and depending on who’s booking, the following will happen:
- If a new client completes a booking, the information entered is used to create a new profile in Teachworks.
- If an existing client completes a booking, the lesson(s) will be associated with their Teachworks profile automatically.
- If an existing client completes a booking but some of their details are different (in the event of a typo, or if an email address is different), you’ll be able to easily merge their profile with the corresponding profile in Teachworks.

Latest Website Booking Updates
Below is a quick summary of the latest functionality we’ve added to the Website Booking Plugin over the past few months.
Online / In-Person Lessons
It is now possible to add an additional step to the booking process to allow clients to choose between “Online” or “In-Person” lessons. You can choose which locations to assign to both of these options and you can customize the label that appears.

Teachworks’ Stripe Integration
Teachworks offers a full integration with Stripe, one of the leading payment processors in the world. Stripe is safe and secure and will give your clients peace of mind when they submit their payment information online.
Teachworks’ Stripe Integration also works with Website Bookings. You can easily charge clients at the time of booking to make sure they are all paid up ahead of their lessons. Learn more about this time saver here: Paying through the Website Booking Plugin
