    Do you have a plugin recommendation for a reservation booking engine that I can use on GD for several different listing “places”?
    Thank you.

    Not really, but there is a GD plugin for that in development.
    But if you mean an external engine, like booking.com etc, you can always link to your affiliate pages there.
    There are quite a few others like that.

    Just FYI, the booking engine development for GD has been momentarely paused as we are seeking for a 3rd party solution to integrate.

    After starting to build what we had in mind, we realize that developing a decent solution from scratches is far more complex than we anticipated and would literally drain development resources from all other projects. If and when GD will have a customer base that will justify building a dedicated solution, we will consider proceeding with it.

    Thx

    I understand, thank you. Do you know of a solution for now that I can use?

    hi,

    one that we are considering is this one: http://www.freetobook.com/

    But currently there isn’t any kind of integration between the 2 systems.

    Thanks

    Sky theme by Cohhe supports easyReservations, but it hasn’t been updated in almost a year, has minimal non-premium support and has some pretty scathing reviews.

    Any updates on this? Has there been any progress towards recommending a third party reservations plugin?

    No Mark, building a reservation engine is something that will minimum take 18 months from the day we start (if we’ll ever start).

    A booking engine is more complex than GD itself.

    So, please stop asking.

    Thank you

    Paolo,

    I wasn’t asking about building your own, I understand the complexity and that it is off the table. But you had indicated in the forums that you were looking at making GD compatible with a third party reservation plugin. That is what I am asking about.

    There is no viable booking engine for WordPress. This is what we find out.

    There are only good Booking engine for other CMSs unfortunately.

    Thanks
