YITH Booking or Sales Igniter: two booking plugins for WooCommerce
YITH Booking and Appointment is a booking plugin for WooCommerce, built for stays, appointments, rentals and tours, and sold as a yearly licence. Sales Igniter is a rental plugin for WooCommerce, Magento 2 and Shopify, with serial numbers, send and return, deposits and contracts. Here is what each one does, screen by screen, and what each costs.
The competitor
What YITH Booking is, and who it is for
YITH Booking and Appointment for WooCommerce is made by YITH, who sell WooCommerce plugins and themes on yithemes.com.1 It adds a bookable product type to your store for rooms and apartments, rentals such as cars, bikes and equipment, appointments, and tours, booked in months, days, hours or minutes.8
It is built around bookings per time unit. People types such as adults and children each have a price, services add free or paid extras, and resources such as staff, rooms or equipment are shared across products with their own availability.15 Its FAQ says the plugin does not manage stock: a maximum number of bookings per unit, and resource quantities, set how many bookings can share the same dates or hours.7
It is a yearly licence for one site, €249.99 a year, priced in euros and renewed automatically each year.4 Part payments, quote requests, text messages and vendor marketplaces come from separate YITH plugins, each bought on its own.1 If you cancel, the plugin keeps working, without updates or support.5
What it does
A bookable product type
Bookings in months, days, hours or minutes, fixed or chosen by the customer, with start days, minimum and maximum length and buffer time.8People types and prices
Adults, children, over-60s or your own types, each with its own price, and people counted as separate bookings when places are limited.1Shared resources
Staff, rooms or equipment shared across products, each with a quantity and its own availability, chosen by the customer or assigned automatically.15Price rules and discounts
Prices by date range, month, week, weekday, time, duration or people, weekly, monthly and last-minute discounts, and extra costs such as cleaning.16Services
Free or paid services, optional or included, priced once or per person, shown on the booking form.18Search forms and maps
Search forms by location and distance, dates, people, services and category, and a Google map of each product’s location.19Approval and cancellation
Bookings can wait for your confirmation, and customers can cancel from their account up to a set time before the start.20Calendars and sync
An admin calendar by product or resource, bookings sent one way to Google Calendar, and iCal sync per product with Airbnb or Booking.com.23Other YITH plugins
Deposits / Down Payments, Request a Quote, SMS Notifications and Multi Vendor are separate YITH plugins that work with it.1What it looks like
How it is priced

The alternative
Sales Igniter: a rental plugin for WooCommerce, Magento 2 and Shopify
Sales Igniter is also a plugin that runs inside your own WooCommerce store, so with either one the booking form sits on your product pages and the orders go through your own checkout. The difference is what each is built around: Sales Igniter tracks rental stock by quantity or by serial number, checks items out and back in, and adds deposits, contracts, maintenance and stock by location.31
On WooCommerce and Magento 2 you buy it once, get the complete source code and run it on your own hosting, with unlimited staff logins, products, customers and orders; renewing updates each year is optional.31 The same engine runs as a Magento 2 extension and as an app for Shopify, billed monthly or yearly through Shopify, coming soon.33

What it does
Booking calendar and rules
Dates, times or fixed departures on your product pages, with turnover time, holidays and minimum periods.Serials and the Send & Return desk
Quantity or serial tracking, barcode returns, pick lists, and readings and photos at send and return.Pricing, deposits and balances
Hour to year rates, seasonal prices, pay part now and the balance later, with payment links.Contracts, deposits and waivers
Signed PDF contracts, refundable security deposits and damage waivers, from Pro up.Guests, staff and departures
On WooCommerce: guest types with their own prices, staff and resources that can stop sales when none is free, and tour departures with manifests.Locations, quotes and maintenance
Stock by location, request a quote and maintenance tickets with service schedules. The comparison below shows which licence or plan has each.Open code with an API

The same job in each plugin
Choose a job, and the platform for our side. YITH Booking images are from its page on yithemes.com; ours come from stores with sample data.
Availability & calendar
A calendar of all bookings by month or day, filtered by product or resource, with the places left. Max bookings per unit and resource quantities close dates once they are full.
A month view of units going out and coming back, a dashboard for today, and an ICS feed for your own calendar.
A rental calendar by product or by order, with units going out and coming back and maintenance blocks.
A month calendar of units going out and coming back, with each day’s bookings and conflicts in a side panel.
The difference: Both close dates once they are full. YITH counts bookings per unit and resource quantities, and its FAQ says it does not manage stock; Sales Igniter checks stock for every date of the rental, by quantity or by serial number.
Online booking
A bookable product with dates, times, people, services and resources on the product page, a running total and a Book now button, plus search forms by date and location.
The booking form is part of your own product pages, on your domain and in your theme, in every licence.
The rental calendar on your own Magento product pages, with rates, start and end dates.
A rental card on your Shopify product pages, with rates by period, the chosen dates and the total.
The difference: Both put the booking form on your own WooCommerce product pages. YITH adds people types, services and search forms built for stays and appointments; Sales Igniter’s rental types cover dates, times and fixed departures, and the same engine runs on Magento 2 and Shopify.
Check-out & check-in
Its Check-in and Check-out fields are information shown on the booking form, not times the plugin manages. Bookings move through statuses such as Unpaid, Paid and Completed.
A Send & Return desk with Due today, Overdue and Next 7 days, serial pickers, barcode returns and pick lists.
A Send Rentals grid with the dates, reserved quantity and quantity to ship for each order line.
A Send & Return desk with a scan box, Due today, Overdue and Next 7 days, and serial pickers.
The difference: YITH tracks each booking’s payment and approval status. Sales Igniter records what went out and when it came back, unit by unit, with serial numbers.
Maintenance
Its documentation does not describe maintenance or repairs. A product or resource can be closed for set dates with availability rules.
Maintenance & Inspections, in Ultimate: tickets with technicians and photos, service schedules by days, rentals or meter hours, and check-in that sends a unit to repair.
Maintenance tickets with the technician, repair cost and photos, service schedules, and check-in that sends a unit for service, in Pro.
Tickets with parts, labour, vendor work and costs, service schedules by days, rentals or meter hours, and check-in that sends a unit for service.
The difference: Sales Igniter has maintenance tickets, service schedules and repair at check-in on every platform. YITH has no maintenance tools in its documentation.
Reports
A list of all bookings with Upcoming and status views, the calendar with places left, booking PDFs, and CSV or ICS export of selected bookings.
A rentals dashboard, a usage report with utilisation and revenue per unit, and inventory reports with CSV export.
A rentals dashboard with today’s sends and returns, the next 7 days, revenue by week and payments due.
A dashboard with going out, due back, overdue, the next 7 days and revenue, plus usage by product.
The difference: YITH lists and exports bookings. Sales Igniter adds a rentals dashboard and usage reports with utilisation per product and unit.
What it costs
What you will have paid, year by year

Frequently asked questions
Does YITH Booking track stock or serial numbers?
Its FAQ says the plugin does not manage stock; it limits the number of bookings per day or hour, and resources can carry a quantity.7 Serial numbers are not described. Sales Igniter tracks stock by quantity or by serial number for every date of a rental, and checks items out and back in at the Send & Return desk.
What are YITH’s Check-in and Check-out fields?
Information shown on the booking form, such as arrival and departure times; YITH says you do not manage actual times with them.14 Sales Igniter’s Send & Return desk records what went out and what came back, with barcode returns if you have a scanner.
Does Sales Igniter take deposits like YITH Booking?
YITH takes a deposit now and the balance before the start date through its separate Deposits / Down Payments plugin.26 In Sales Igniter for WooCommerce, paying part now and the balance later is in Regular, and refundable security deposits, damage waivers and signed contracts are in Pro.
Does Sales Igniter have people types, staff and resources?
Yes, on WooCommerce: guest types with their own prices, and staff and resources that can stop sales when none is free, are in Regular. YITH has people types and shared resources built in.15
What happens if I stop renewing?
YITH’s licence renews every year; if you cancel, the plugin keeps working, but updates, support and downloads stop.5 A Sales Igniter licence is a one-time purchase with a year of updates and support; renewing is optional, and the plugin keeps working without it.
Can I sell rental packages and kits?
Yes. Sales Igniter for WooCommerce includes Bundles & Composites, so a package is one product while each item in it draws on its own stock. In YITH, one bookable product can take several shared resources, each with its own quantity.15 Its product page says a bookable product can’t also be a variable product, and lists YITH WooCommerce Product Bundles as the one YITH plugin it doesn’t support.1
Is there a Magento or Shopify version?
Yes. Sales Igniter is also a Magento 2 extension, and Rentals & Bookings for Shopify is billed monthly or yearly through Shopify. The Shopify app is coming soon, and its prices appear on this page at launch. YITH Booking is for WooCommerce only.1
