Sell Your Activities Online, Instantly
The Xola Booking plugin adds powerful, versatile booking capabilities to your website in seconds. The plugin integrates with your Xola account, creating a beautiful storefront where visitors can browse your activities, make bookings, and pay securely online.
No Coding Necessary
All pages and buttons are generated automatically from your Xola account and displayed on your website. No coding required.
The plugin instantly creates detailed product pages using the information in your account, including photos, dates and duration, description, ‘what’s included’, ‘what to bring’, activity location (to be displayed on your site using Google Maps), and ‘other considerations’. Booking and gift checkout buttons are automatically generated, and follow users down the page, increasing the likelihood of conversion.
Make Discovery Easy
Make finding and booking new experiences simple and delightful. Offer an elegant storefront where visitors can search, discover, check availability, and book your tours & activities directly from your website. Promote related activities on your product pages to encourage discovery and increase average order value.
Optimized for Everything
Xola’s booking flow has been carefully designed for a smoother, more optimized checkout experience. The placement of every page and field was considered to reduce distraction and confusion, and let your products shine. This results in higher conversion rates and increased online revenue.
Xola’s plugin pages are optimized for everything:
- Sleek, simple, and readable.
- Completely SEO ready.
- Lightning fast.
- Made for mobile, verified by Google.
Your Brand, Your Business

Updating
Whenever there’s a new version of the plugin available, you’ll see a notification in your WordPress admin panel and you can automatically update it by following the link in notification.
As with all other plugin updates, it is a good idea to backup your site first, just in case something unexpected goes wrong.
If on the off-chance you do encounter issues with plugin pages, try flushing the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and clicking the «Save» button. This should reset the settings and make plugin pages available again.
