WooCommerce Bookings update focuses on capacity and calendar reliability

What changed

WooCommerce's Bookings release note describes multi-product calendar filtering and fixes involving capacity, rescheduling, customer time zones, discounts and Google Calendar synchronization. These changes affect the full path from a shopper selecting a time to staff managing the resulting booking.

5515 assessment

For a service business, an incorrect reservation can be harder to resolve than an ordinary product-page error. Testing should follow the actual constraints of the service: shared staff, room capacity, preparation time and the time zone shown to the customer. A calendar that loads successfully is only the beginning of that review.

A useful acceptance check

Create a booking for the final available slot, attempt another reservation, then cancel or reschedule the first. Check customer and staff confirmations against the order and connected calendar. Include a discounted booking and a booking spanning more than one day if the business sells those options. Record which system is the authority when the external calendar and store disagree.
