    I have a client that would like to receive online bookings for their meetings rooms by the hour.

    Looking for a plugin that:

    1) process payments via Authorize.net

    2) nice if it has some time of calendar feed (iCal, etc.)

    Those are the key things.

    Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Christopher

    Hi Christopher,

    I referred someone else to this before - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/booking/. Here is the plugin demo - http://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/. Maybe this might work for you.

    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

    Hi anitac-

    Thanks for your response.

    I checked into the Wp Booking Calendar early this week. It does not support Authorize.net and it is quite pricy to get all the functionality we would need.

    Thanks,

    Christopher

    I have no experience with this, but this one apparently works with Authorize.net:

    Hi Susan-

    That one is a plugin for a separate booking service that has monthly fees... http://www.checkfront.com/

    We are looking for a total WP solution.

    Thanks for responding.

    On another note... I look forward to meeting you later today at the #genesiswp meet up in FT. Worth.

    Okay, well as a good practice might I suggest adding in here what plugins you've already investigated and looked at. This way they won't be offered again.

    Hi anitac-

    That is a good suggestion.

    Plugins I have considered:

    1) Bookings +: http://bookings-plus.com/ - No native Authorize.net support, but the authors will code it for me for $400 in a weeks time. This one I'll probably go with unless I find a plugin that natively supports Authorize.net.

    2) Wp Booking Calendar: No support for Authorize.net and pricey.

    2) Check Front: non WP solution, the booking feature is as a stand alone SAS cloud solution on their servers. The plugin helps to embed in your site.

    3) Bookings: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bookings/ No Authorize.net support.

    Here is another suggestion then. Since Authorize.net is a *MUST HAVE*, you should probably be on their site or contact their support to see what products and APIs they partner with. You are researching backwards. I'd start with asking them first.

    I have used two different plugins in the last few months, and I am not pleased with eaither. So I cannot make a recomendation.
