Plugixa Car Parking
Selling parking by phone and spreadsheet stops working the day two people want the last space. Plugixa Car Parking takes the booking on your own WordPress site instead: customers pick their dates, see which spaces are free and what each costs, and reserve one in four short steps.
Behind the form is a booking engine that counts capacity per space type, respects each location’s opening hours and closures, and prices every stay on the server by the minute, hour, day, week or month. You get a dashboard, a searchable list, a calendar, coupons and a ledger of payments and refunds.
The free edition is a complete system with no limits and no outside services. Pro adds numbered bays, pricing rules, deposits, extras, tax rates, customer groups, Stripe and PayPal, SMS and Telegram messages, reminders, PDF invoices and a Google Maps location map.
