has published –a free hotel booking engine plugin for WordPress. WP Mybookings is the world’s first free WordPress booking engine plugin designed specifically for the hospitality industry.
WP Mybookings is completely commission-free, posing a challenge to developers of for-profit hotel booking engines. Most free booking engine plugins on WordPress are designed to cater to a wide range of businesses, including salons, massage parlors, and others that require bookings. WP Mybookings is designed just for hotels, b&bs, hostels, and guest houses. It includes all the features hotels need, works on any WordPress website, and is mobile optimized.
Cloudbeds has a long history with the WordPress ecosystem. Founders Adam Harris and Richard Castle previously ran a WordPress plugin and theme development firm. They specialized in crafting hospitality-focused plugins and themes for the WordPress ecosystem, among other things.
“We have spent years building websites, themes, and plugins for our clients using WordPress,” said Richard Castle, co-founder and COO of Cloudbeds. “We felt that the WordPress community had limited options when it came to professionally built, modern hotel booking engines. We stepped in to fill the gap. We made sure that WP Mybookings has all the features busy hoteliers expect, and is built to exceed the high quality expectations of the WordPress community. I’m extremely pleased with the final result, and we hope that hoteliers will find it useful.”
WP Mybookings is also mobile responsive. This makes the booking engine future-proof while functioning beautifully on all mobile devices. WP Mybookings integrates completely with Cloudbeds’ suite of software, including their myfrontdesk property management system and channel manager, myallocator. WP Mybookings also has a stand-alone option, making it perfectly functional even for hoteliers who do not use Cloudbeds’ other software.
“We founded Cloudbeds to make sophisticated software for hoteliers,” said Adam Harris, founder and CEO of Cloudbeds. “WP Mybookings is a natural extension of that goal. Many of our customers use WordPress to power their websites. Few hotel booking engines integrate seamlessly with WordPress. With WP Mybookings, hoteliers can now enjoy a powerful, feature-rich booking engine that fits in with their existing website theme and branding. It works great with our other software, or as a stand-alone booking engine. Hoteliers don’t have to change the way they do business.”
