Module objectives

Booking centralizes the operational management of reservations inside Dolibarr. It can be used to mark products as bookable, attach resources and services, manage dates and capacities, create reservations from the back office, generate commercial documents, monitor occupancy, synchronize iCal / ICS feeds, receive WooCommerce orders and reduce duplicate bookings.

Recommended positioning

Dolibarr back-office usage

Users create and follow reservations directly in Dolibarr. This is suitable for administrative teams, agencies, accommodation managers, associations, rental companies and organizations that want to manage availability from their ERP.

Usage with WordPress / WooCommerce

For a public reservation or e-commerce website, WooCommerce collects the order and reservation information, WooBook sends useful data to Dolibarr, Booking creates or updates the internal reservation, and Dolibarr remains the reference for management, sales tracking and planning.

Who is it for?

Main features

Bookable products
Dolibarr products can be enabled as bookable products with durations, capacities, people, resources, services, availability rules and pricing rules.

Reservation entry
A wizard helps users select the customer, product, dates, number of people and options. Depending on the setup, the reservation can feed a quote, order or another commercial document.

Planning and calendar
The planning view displays occupancy, internal reservations, imported unavailable periods, external blocks and operational information by period, resource or product.

Resources and optional services
Resources represent rooms, accommodations, vehicles, equipment, teams or spaces. Optional services can include cleaning, breakfast, paid options or additional services.

Availability and pricing rules
Rules can manage open or closed periods, restrictions, fixed prices, price variations and rules by product, period, day, slot, category or number of people.

Statistics
A dedicated page tracks number of reservations, occupancy rate, nights, average stay, occupancy by product, linked revenue and commercial documents.

iCal / ICS synchronization

The module includes an iCal / ICS synchronization layer to reduce double bookings and centralize unavailable periods. It can import occupied periods, export availability or unavailability, map Dolibarr products to external channels, monitor synchronization statuses, log errors and conflicts, manage external blocks and run manual or automated synchronizations.

WordPress / WooCommerce / YITH integration

Booking can work with a WordPress / WooCommerce website through the WooBook plugin. The public site collects the order and reservation information, WooCommerce prepares commercial data, WooBook sends the order, customer, lines, products and stay information to Dolibarr, then Booking creates or updates the internal reservation.

The flow is designed to update existing elements when an event is replayed rather than creating duplicates.

Cancellation logic

Cancellation can be managed from the customer context or from the back office depending on permissions and settings. A cancellation can release blocked periods, update linked commercial documents and, when configured, propagate selected changes to WooCommerce.

Public technical notice

This section describes the functional architecture without exposing internal values, sensitive technical names, secrets, detailed paths or raw SQL structure.

General architecture

Booking is built as a standard external Dolibarr module. It uses native Dolibarr mechanisms to declare the module, add menus, manage user permissions, install or update data structures, run scheduled tasks, add hooks, react to business events through triggers, load translations and publish public resources when allowed by the administrator.

Managed data

The module manages reservations, bookable products, resources, services, availability and pricing rules, person types, links between products and resources, external unavailability blocks, synchronization logs and configuration settings.

Dolibarr links

Booking interacts with products, services, third parties, contacts, quotes, orders, invoices, projects when required, categories, extra fields, scheduled tasks and user permissions. These links keep Dolibarr as the central reference for sales tracking, invoicing, customers and products.

Hooks and triggers

Hooks display reservation information, quick access, counters or contextual actions on useful Dolibarr cards. Triggers keep reservations and commercial documents consistent during validation, modification, deletion or cancellation events.

Security and maintenance

The module relies on dedicated Dolibarr permissions, administrator controls, form protection tokens, signatures for WooCommerce exchanges, secrets for exports and synchronization, public access limitations and logging. Maintenance tools help clean orphan links, check data and monitor synchronization health.

Installation

Copy the module into the Dolibarr custom directory.
Check file permissions.
Enable the module in Setup > Modules/Applications.
Assign Booking permissions.
Open the configuration and check general settings.
Create products, resources, services and rules.
Test an internal reservation before enabling external synchronization.

User permissions

The module distinguishes reading reservation data, managing reservations, resources, services and rules, and module administration. Configuration and synchronization should be limited to administrators or trusted users.

Best practices

Create Dolibarr products before enabling them in Booking.
Name resources and services clearly.
Test rules on a short period before broad deployment.
Check planning after every external synchronization activation.
Use limited permissions for non-administrators.
Monitor synchronization logs after WooCommerce go-live.
Keep a backup before any major update.

Uninstallation

When disabled, the module can keep reservation data depending on configuration. This is recommended to avoid losing business history. Full deletion should be reserved for test environments or confirmed administrative decisions.
