Add On Plugins to Enhance CabGrid Pro
What are CabGrid Pro Add-on Plugins?
On its own, CabGrid Pro is a great price calculator plugin for your website. It will provide prices and emails (or SMS texts) booking requests to you. It will even take a payment for a journey booking via Paypal.
However, there are cases where further functionality is required. For this, we have add-ons. These are small additional WordPress plugins that enhance the functionality of the main CabGrid Pro plugin.
Available Add-on Plugins
- Stripe Integration (credit card payments)
- Booking Management (via WordPress admin)
- Driver Dispatch (via WordPress admin)
- Advanced Settings (Defaults Add-on)
- WSPay (payment gateway)
- VCS DPO Paygate (payment gateway)
- Electronic Funds Transfer (payment by bank transfer)
- Custom Calculations (enhance the price calculation)
Stripe Online Payment Processing
Buy Now. Requires: Cab Grid Pro
Cab Grid Pro supports Paypal as standard, but Stripe provides a more integrated experience where customers can pay for journey bookings without leaving your website.
Manage Cab Grid Bookings via WordPress Admin
Booking Management
Buy Now. Requires: Cab Grid Pro
On its own, Cab Grid Pro sends booking requests via email and/or SMS text message. These can then be processed offline.
With our booking management add-on, booking requests are stored online and made available for processing within the WordPress admin section of your website.
A colour-coded table of bookings provides one-click actions to ACCEPT, DECLINE, CANCEL, UPDATE and more.
With bookings stored online, the availability of vehicles can be checked when a customer selects a date and time.
Driver Dispatch Add-on
For organisations with a number of drivers, the Cab Grid Driver Dispatch add-on provides a means of assigning drivers to bookings within the WordPress admin. Drivers and customers are notified automatically.
The Driver add-on adds a tab to the Cab Grid Pro WordPress admin interface where drivers can be added, edited, disabled or deleted. An ASSIGN DRIVER button appears against each booking in the booking management table.

Cab Grid Pro offers many options to take payments for taxi journeys. The EFT add-on adds a bank transfer process augments Cab Grid Pro as an add-on plugin.
The EFT add-on will add a ‘Bank Transfer’ button as a payment option after the booking request has been submitted. It then works in conjunction with the Booking Management add-on to walk customers through the process of making a payment by bank transfer.
Requires: Cab Grid Pro and Booking Management Add-on
Custom Price Calculation
The Custom Price Calculation intercepts the journey details selected by customers and manipulates the price shown. For example, a price can be modified based on the number of passengers: add $10 per passenger when more than 4.
This add-on will be customised specifically to your precise needs.
