Questions

Is there a free WooCommerce Booking Date Dropdown plugin?

Free ones may exist. Build your own when you want exact behavior and nothing extra.

Why use a dropdown?

On phones a short list of real dates is easier than a calendar full of blocked days.

Does it show full dates?

No. Dates with no space left are left out, or shown as full if you prefer.

Do I need WooCommerce?

Yes. This plugin is built for WooCommerce stores and works with your products and checkout. You don't need to buy the paid WooCommerce Bookings extension from WooCommerce.

Can I get a refund?

The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
