Description
Vigore adds online booking and appointment scheduling to your WordPress site. The plugin connects your site to your free Vigore account and embeds your booking flow as a widget, so your customers can book any timeslot based service directly from your pages. It is fully responsive and works on every device.
Unlike a calendar bolted into wp-admin, Vigore is a complete booking system: appointments, online payments, automated reminders, calendar sync and a client portal, all managed from one place. And because your booking flow is a widget, you can embed the same experience on any site, not just WordPress.
After you install and activate the plugin, an onboarding starts automatically and guides you through the entire setup, so your booking widget is live in minutes.
Vigore Widget works together with the Vigore booking platform at vigore.app. See the Vigore Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Not your typical WordPress booking plugin
Most booking plugins store everything inside your WordPress site, and you manage it all from wp-admin. Vigore works differently: the plugin connects your site to your free Vigore account and embeds your booking flow as a widget. Your bookings, clients, payments and settings live in Vigore, a complete booking platform, managed from one dashboard.
Why that helps you:
- Embed anywhere. The same booking experience on WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify and more, not locked to one site.
- Nothing to maintain. No heavy plugin or database to manage, and your booking system is always up to date.
- More than a calendar. Booking, CRM, payments, reminders and a client portal in one place.
- Free to get started. Works with a free Vigore account.
How it works
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Connect your free Vigore account. An onboarding guides you through the entire setup.
- Your booking widget goes live on your site.
