SyncBooking

Description

SyncBooking turns your WordPress site into a direct-booking website: a floating booking bar, a self-contained booking page with real-time availability, and a booking-management page. Availability, rooms, prices, page content and design come from your SyncBooking account; guests complete the reservation on the SyncBooking checkout.
