  Hi All
  I am about to purchase a Premium plan for my business.
  Looking at the plugins. Wondering if there is any booking plugins look similar to the link below? and how can I use it ?
  https://codecanyon.net/item/booked-appointments-appointment-booking-for-wordpress/9466968

  I know this question might be silly. But once I purchase the premium plan
  Can I use this plugin for sure?
  https://wordpress.org/plugins/appointment-scheduling-and-booking-manager/

  Thank you very much !

  Hi there,
  I am sorry… but we cannot upload custom plugins on WordPress.COM. We are limited to some built-in plugins that come with WordPress.COM.

  Check the list of built-in plugins for the plugin you might be looking for:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  But, you can request a plugin if you think it’s features are beneficial to the users of WordPress.COM, by posting your plugin idea on the Ideas forum.

  As it is written here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/#plugin-requests.

  The goal of WordPress.COM is to keep things simple. So that the technical stuffs are handled by WordPress and we focus on creating quality content.

  If you wish to have greater control over your site, you can use WordPress.ORG-a self hosted platform/software to create blogs, websites and more, with greater customization possibilities.

  Find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you wish to move your blog from WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG, follow the instructions given here:
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  You can ask for help while creating your site using WordPress.ORG on this support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/. Because, this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  PS: The plugin link you provided with your question is of WordPress.ORG, it won’t work on WordPress.COM even if you upgrade your account.

  Hope this helps 🙂

  @theoneroomescape hello there! @otpidusprime is correct that WordPressdotcom users cannot upload custom plugins to our sites.

  Alternatively, if you want to have an editable calendar that shows events on your site, then there’s Google Calendar.

  You can also link to an external booking/scheduling app service (like SimplyBook.me or Calendly.com) using a Custom Menu or a link in a widget in your site’s sidebar.

  Let us know if you want more information on that.

  I’m updating this thread to note that with the recent change in the Business plan, it is now possible for those users to activate 3rd party plugins which are available in the WP repository.

  In order to know whether this specific plugin “Appointment scheduling and Booking Manager” is available, we would need Staff to confirm. However since the OP’s site has been deleted, it may not be relevant.

  Best wishes.
