KennelFlow Boarding

Boarding and kennel foundation: pets, rooms, locations, bookings, and REST API availability. By Land Tech Web Designs.

KennelFlow Core registers the shared data model and owner portal building blocks used by KennelFlow Boarding, KennelFlow Vet, GroomPress, and related plugins.
<h3>User guide</h3>
Full instructions for using KennelFlow Core together with KennelFlow Boarding and KennelFlow Vet (activation order, admin areas, shortcodes, REST overview, Omni-Booking, troubleshooting) are in the repository file docs/PLATFORM_GUIDE.md at the KennelFlow package root.
Staff Permissions matrix
Under Pets → Staff Permissions, users with the <code>manage_options</code> capability can view and edit a grid of KennelFlow-managed capabilities per WordPress role (for example <code>kennelflow_vet_edit_emr</code>, <code>kennelpress_override_roster</code>, <code>groompress_view_commissions</code>). Core WordPress capabilities such as <code>delete_plugins</code> are not exposed in this UI.
REST: <code>GET</code> and <code>PATCH /wp-json/kennelflow/v1/permissions</code> (authenticated; <code>manage_options</code>). <code>PATCH</code> accepts JSON body <code>role</code>, <code>capability</code>, <code>grant</code> (boolean) to add or remove a cap on that role.
Twilio SMS (optional)
Configure under Pets → KennelFlow Settings when you want outbound SMS. KennelFlow can send messages via Twilio’s API for flows such as waitlist “spot opened” notifications and mobile integrations that trigger SMS (see External Services below).
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin does not send your site data to LandTech or third-party servers by default. Optional integrations use WordPress and other plugins on your own site.
<ul>
<li>
WooCommerce (optional) — When WooCommerce is installed and active, KennelFlow Core can create virtual products, attach booking metadata to orders, apply optional surge pricing and deposit/remaining-balance fees at checkout, and let pet owners pay from the <code>[ltkf_dashboard]</code> portal. No order or customer data is sent to external APIs by KennelFlow Core itself; processing follows WooCommerce and your payment gateway. See WooCommerce terms: https://woocommerce.com/terms-conditions/ and privacy: https://automattic.com/privacy/
</li>
<li>
WooCommerce Subscriptions (optional) — The VIP membership discount (KennelFlow Settings) uses subscription status from WooCommerce Subscriptions on your site only (<code>wcs_user_has_subscription</code>); no separate API calls. See: https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/ and WooCommerce privacy as above.
</li>
<li>
Outbound webhooks (optional, admin-configured) — Under KennelFlow → Webhooks & API, you may enter HTTPS URLs (for example Zapier or Make) and choose which events to send. KennelFlow Core POSTs JSON to those URLs you provide. Data leaves your site only to destinations you configure; review each provider’s terms and privacy policy (e.g. Zapier: https://zapier.com/legal/ and https://zapier.com/privacy/).
</li>
<li>
Twilio SMS (optional) — Under KennelFlow Settings → Twilio SMS, you may enter Account SID, Auth Token, and a From number. When configured, KennelFlow can send SMS via Twilio’s REST API (<code>api.twilio.com</code>) from your WordPress server; credentials and message content are transmitted to Twilio per their service. Terms: https://www.twilio.com/legal/tos — Privacy: https://www.twilio.com/legal/privacy

</ul>
