Create trip types, assign captains and boats, control capacity, and publish bookable trips on your website with simple shortcodes. Customers can browse availability and submit booking requests in a clean frontend flow, while your team manages schedules, statuses, and notifications from wp-admin. Whether you run inshore, offshore, private group, or specialty trips, Charter Booker is designed to help you: * Capture more direct bookings from your own website. * Reduce back-and-forth scheduling and manual admin work. * Keep bookings, trip data, and communication organized in one place. Core features include: * Custom post types for captains, boats, trips, and bookings. * Admin dashboards and list tables for operations. * Trip scheduling with availability checks. * Calendar-based booking form departure selection with available dates and times. * Capacity controls and overbooking settings. * Booking status and payment tracking. * Email templates for customer and admin notifications. * Optional compatibility with a separately distributed Charter Booker Pro plugin. Premium features include: * Calendar view for booked trips and trip, captain, and boat blackout periods. * Stripe checkout integration with test/live mode and connection checks. * PayPal checkout integration with sandbox/live mode and connection checks. * Per-trip deposit controls (fixed amount or percentage) and “must pay in full” options. * Advanced pricing support for time-based rules and manual price overrides. * Trip-level max party size overrides for finer capacity control. * Monthly sales and bookings dashboard panels for quick performance insights. The WordPress.org package is fully functional for all features included in this plugin and does not require a license key to use those included features. ## Screenshots * [[ * Trip Search Results: Frontend trip listings with key trip details, pricing, availability, and optional 1 to 4 column layouts. * [[ * Booking Form: Customer booking form with a calendar-based departure selector, available time buttons, guest details, and validation for a smooth checkout-style request flow. * [[ * Trips Admin: Trip management screen in wp-admin showing schedule, capacity, and status at a glance. * [[ * Email Templates and Settings: Notification and settings area for controlling customer/admin emails and booking behavior. ## Installation 1.
