WooCommerce Bookings for Custom Order Status

With the WooCommerce Bookings and Appointments plugin, Bookings are blocked out based on the WooCommerce Order status. However, when you use an external plugin to have custom order statutes, the plugin will not recognize these custom order statuses and will not block the Bookings based on them.

However, using this add-on, you can make the bookings block out/greyed out for custom order statuses created by a custom plugin. The setup is quite simple as shown below.

What does it do?

This add-on blocks out the Bookings based on custom order status and displays these Bookings in the admin calendar view.
