In Dokan, booking a bookable product for a customer is much easier than adding a product like admin & vendor.

They just simply need to get to the Dokan travel site and find their desired product that they want to book.
In this case, the above demonstration shows how a customer books a Hotel Room and Air Tickets from the Dokan website. After finding the product they want to book, the customer simply needs to click on it to select the date they want to book their desired hotel room and air tickets for.
In the case of air tickets, you can book more than one ticket in case multiple people are traveling. Simply input the number of persons and the cost of tickets will automatically be adjusted by counting the number of people traveling. After that, press Book Now and the products will be added to your cart. Once all your bookable products are booked, click the view cart tab to proceed to the payment section filling up all your required details.
