Vik Appointments features are more than enough for our booking solution with the ability to sell services.

Parents, students, and employees found it very easy to book any appointment using this extension. No headache with form fields.

La migliore App per appuntamenti

Stefano (3).
Posted on 16 February 2022

Functionality

La funzionalità è eccellente. Rispetto ad altri componenti a Vikappointments non manca nulla. Può essere usato in decine di modi.

Ease of use

E' molto facile nell'utilizzo e nel setup. La procedura di personalizzazione e di inserimento dei dati è semplice e veloce.

Support

Il supporto è eccellente. Sia prima dell'acquisto che dopo, rispondono in brevissimo tempo e risolvono ogni problema e domanda

Documentation

La documentazione a corredo è molto esaustiva e completa in ogni parte.

Value for money

Vale tutti i soldi che costa. Gestisce schede professionisti, orari di visite, appuntamenti, pagamenti, sincronizzazione con calendari etc..

I used this to: Ho usato Vikappointments per creare un sito web di un centro medico con decine di professionisti e orari di visite molteplici. Il risultato è stato ottimo.

Does not work with PayPal

Steve (15).
Posted on 11 December 2021

Functionality

Serious payment and order validation problems with PayPal Business accounts. Orders would not get validated, duplicate payments etc.

Ease of use

Not sure if this applies, since the component has critical bugs. I have about 4 pages worth of complaints.

Support

Initial support was appalling. After weeks of a developer working on fixes I was still left with a component that doesn't work well.

Documentation

Value for money

This has taken a lot of time and resources that could have been spent elsewhere. It's a rip off.

I used this to: Photography business booking system, got stuck with this component for the holiday season. I can't wait to be rid of it.

Owner's reply: Hi Ionko (this is the name of the person we talked to on our support board), we are not surprised by your review, because you promised it. It was enough for us to see all the other reviews that you posted on the JED to understand how this one could count for us.

Don't want to explain or justify anything, because you know that the bugs that you found were not actually there... You were facing PayPal "issues" because you expected to see an instant validation, which might not always occur. So we gave you some information to implement a BETA integration of PayPal with a few considerations and suggestions. Unfortunately you weren't able to make it work. We updated the PayPal integration with the release of the 1.7.1 version of VikAppointments, which is now able to support an instant validation of the payments for business accounts that use specific IPN settings.

We also want to point out that your review was not objective at all. You gave a 1.5 star for a behavior that you wished to improve with PayPal, a third-party system. You didn't specify anything about the features provided by the program. How this review could help us to improve our software? And how could it be helpful to other customers?

Beste aankoop ever

Posted on 01 April 2021

Functionality

Het doet precies wat het beloofd en zelfs nog meer. Er zijn bv. niet veel systemen waar je aan een afspraak direct een betaling kan koppelen

Ease of use

Ondanks de hoeveelheid functionaliteit is het zeer gebruiksvriendelijk

Support

Ik heb een aantal tickets ingeschoten met vragen. Die werden allemaal dezelfde dag nog afgewerkt. TOP

Documentation

De documentatie mag van mij nog wel iets uitgebreider. Omdat er zoveel in zit en zoveel variabelen zijn.

Value for money

Zeker waar voor je geld. Ik ben zelf ontwikkelaar, maar voor dat geld kan ik het echt niet zelf maken

I used this to: Een reserveringssysteem voor diverse klanten (employees in het pakket) die hun diensten aanbieden en dat alleen op afspraak. De mogelijkheden zijn enorm. Ik zie voor de toekomst ook nog het gebruik voor andere klanten.
