Booking Module for 1C-Bitrix: Custom Development Turnkey

Imagine: a client tries to book a hotel room for specific dates, but the system doesn't check availability. Two bookings for the same room overlap — overbooking and complaints are inevitable. Standard b_sale_order mechanisms don't work with time intervals. In one project, overbooking reached 10% of bookings, causing significant losses. In another case, we recovered substantial revenue by implementing atomic transactions. Such problems are solved by a custom booking module.

Bitrix Booking Module Development Turnkey Solution

We develop turnkey booking modules for 1C-Bitrix. Typical tasks include hotels, car rentals, meeting rooms, or travel tours. Bitrix lacks a ready-made tool for time slots, so we create custom solutions using infoblocks and highload block. Our vendor.booking module has been proven on 15+ projects and handles concurrent bookings without race conditions. The module processes up to 10,000 bookings per day with peak load of 100 requests per second. Based on load testing on a project with a 200-room hotel. Development cost starts from $2,000, saving up to 50% compared to off-the-shelf solutions with similar functionality. For a mid-sized hotel (50 rooms), our solution reduces overbooking by 99%, saving an estimated $10,000 annually.

How the Booking Module Handles Concurrent Bookings?

The vendor.booking module includes key tables:

• b_vendor_booking_resource — resources: id, name, type, capacity, iblock_element_id, settings (JSON: minimum period, maximum, step, prepayment).
• b_vendor_booking_slot — predefined slots for hourly rental: id, resource_id, date, time_from, time_to, status.
• b_vendor_booking_reservation — bookings: id, resource_id, user_id, date_from, date_to, status (pending/confirmed/cancelled/completed), total_price, order_id.
• b_vendor_booking_block — manual date blocking: id, resource_id, date_from, date_to, reason.

For daily rental, we use a model with date_from/date_to without slots. For hourly rental, we use slots with fixed intervals.

Why Atomic Locking Is Critical?

Without it, two users could simultaneously book the same slot. We use a transaction with SELECT FOR UPDATE. For more on atomic operations, see Wikipedia.

public function reserve(int $resourceId, \DateTime $from, \DateTime $to, int $userId): ReservationResult { $connection = \Bitrix\Main\Application::getConnection(); $connection->startTransaction(); try { // Проверяем конфликты с блокировкой строк $conflicts = $connection->query(" SELECT id FROM b_vendor_booking_reservation WHERE resource_id = {$resourceId} AND status IN ('pending', 'confirmed') AND NOT (date_to <= '{$from->format('Y-m-d')}' OR date_from >= '{$to->format('Y-m-d')}') FOR UPDATE ")->fetch(); if ($conflicts) { $connection->rollbackTransaction(); return ReservationResult::conflict(); } $reservationId = ReservationTable::add([ 'RESOURCE_ID' => $resourceId, 'USER_ID' => $userId, 'DATE_FROM' => $from, 'DATE_TO' => $to, 'STATUS' => 'pending', ])->getId(); $connection->commitTransaction(); return ReservationResult::success($reservationId); } catch (\Throwable $e) { $connection->rollbackTransaction(); throw $e; } } 

How to Check Resource Availability Step by Step

1. Get the list of resources via ResourceTable::getList().
2. Call the checkAvailability($resourceId, $dateFrom, $dateTo) method.
3. If it returns true — the slot is free; otherwise, it is occupied.

Why Is a Custom Booking Module Better than Off-the-Shelf Solutions?

Off-the-shelf Bitrix modules often lack flexibility in pricing and do not integrate with 1C. A custom module is tailored to a specific company's business processes. Here's a comparison:

Module Development Deliverables (What's Included)

• API and module configuration documentation.
• Source code with comments.
• Integration with payment systems (YooKassa, Sber) and 1C.
• Admin interface for resource management.
• Staff training (2 hours online).
• 30-day warranty support.
• Deployment assistance and server setup.

Functional Capabilities

Date Picker Widget

On the frontend, an interactive calendar. Implemented via flatpickr or a custom component. Booked dates are fetched via AJAX request:

GET /bitrix/components/vendor/booking.calendar/ajax.php ?resource_id=12&month=2026-06 → {"available": ["2026-06-01","2026-06-03",...], "booked": ["2026-06-02","2026-06-05",...]} 

Data is cached via \Bitrix\Main\Data\Cache for 5 minutes. On booking change, the cache is invalidated via the tag booking_resource_{id}.

Pricing

Price is calculated according to rules:

• Base rate per period (day/hour) from b_vendor_booking_resource.
• Seasonal surcharges (high season, holidays) from b_vendor_booking_price_rule.
• Discounts for long rental (7+ days — minus 10%).
• Minimum prepayment percentage.

$calculator = new PriceCalculator($resource); $result = $calculator->calculate($dateFrom, $dateTo); // → ['total' => 15000, 'prepayment' => 3000, 'discount' => 1500, 'nights' => 3] 

Payment and Order Linking

After booking confirmation, an order is created in b_sale_order for the prepayment amount (or full cost). The booking is linked to the order via reservation.order_id. Upon successful payment, the booking status changes from pending to confirmed. On cancellation of a paid order, the booking status becomes cancelled and the slot is released.

Administration and Notifications

Admin Interface

The admin section includes:

• Resource list with settings.
• Visual timeline view with daily bookings.
• Manual booking creation form (for phone requests).
• Date blocking for maintenance.
• Resource utilization report.

The timeline view is built via a JS library (FullCalendar or dhtmlxScheduler), data via the module's REST endpoint.

Notifications

• To the user upon booking creation (confirmation with details).
• To the user upon manager confirmation.
• To the admin on new booking.
• Reminder N days before start (via agent).

All notifications go through standard \Bitrix\Main\Mail\Event::send() with event templates in the main module.

Development Process and Timeline

Total: 14 working days. For hotels with different room categories and channel manager management, a separate estimate is provided.
