<p><strong>Class Bookings with Stripe</strong> helps studios, instructors, and venues sell places on scheduled classes using <strong>Stripe Checkout</strong> (Stripe’s hosted payment page). Customers pick a date, choose seats, and pay securely without WooCommerce or a custom cart.</p>
<p>The plugin uses <strong>Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Free</strong> (built in). Each bookable class has schedule, price, capacity, and optional extras. Embed the form with a shortcode or Elementor widget. When a customer clicks <strong>Book & pay with Stripe</strong>, the plugin creates a soft-hold, opens a Stripe Checkout Session, and redirects to Stripe. A signed webhook marks the booking paid and can send customer and admin emails.</p>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to third-party services to process payments and, optionally, add customers to a mailing list. You must configure your own accounts and API keys for these services in <strong>Class Bookings with Stripe <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings</strong>.</p>
<h4>Stripe</h4>
<p>This plugin uses <a href="https://stripe.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Stripe</a> Checkout to collect payments. Stripe hosts the payment page; card details are entered on Stripe’s site, not in WordPress.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When a customer submits the booking form, your WordPress site calls the Stripe API to create a Checkout Session, then redirects the browser to Stripe’s hosted checkout page.</li>
<li>When payment completes, fails, or the session expires, Stripe sends signed webhook events to your site (<code>/wp-json/clasbowi/v1/stripe-webhook</code>).</li>
<li>If webhooks are delayed, the plugin may call the Stripe API again to retrieve the Checkout Session status when the customer returns to your success page.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What data is sent</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To Stripe’s API (server-side): your Stripe secret key (authentication), customer name and email, class and booking details (class name, date, time, location, seats, booking ID), line-item title and price (GBP), and success/cancel return URLs.</li>
<li>On Stripe Checkout (customer-facing): payment and billing details the customer enters on Stripe’s hosted page.</li>
<li>From Stripe to your site (webhooks): event payloads about the Checkout Session and payment status (no card numbers are stored in WordPress).</li>
</ul>

<h4>Mailchimp</h4>
<p>If enabled in plugin settings, this plugin can subscribe customers to a Mailchimp audience when they opt in on the booking form.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>After a booking is marked paid (via Stripe webhook), and only when all of the following are true: Mailchimp opt-in is enabled in settings, you have saved a Mailchimp API key and Audience ID, the customer checked the opt-in box on the form, and the booking has not already been synced.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What data is sent</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To the Mailchimp Marketing API: the customer’s email address, first name, last name (parsed from the booking name), and subscription status (<code>pending</code> if double opt-in is enabled, otherwise <code>subscribed</code>). Your Mailchimp API key is sent in the request for authentication.</li>

Stripe Checkout booking for classes: capacity-aware dates, soft holds, webhooks, emails, reports, Elementor widget, and shortcode.

ambrosite

<p>When activated, this plugin causes the body_class template tag to output five additional classes.</p>
<p>On single posts (is_single) :<br />
    postname-[permalink slug]<br />
    single-[category slug]<br />
    parent-[parent category slug] (all parent and grandparent categories in a hierarchy of any depth)</p>
<p>On pages (is_page) :<br />
    pagename-[permalink slug]</p>
<p>On category archives (is_archive and is_category) :<br />
    parent-category-[parent category slug] (all parent and grandparent categories in a hierarchy of any depth)</p>
<h4>Custom Taxonomies</h4>
<p>As of version 1.3, the plugin now supports custom hierarchical taxonomies. The new body classes take the following form:</p>
<p>On single posts (is_single) :<br />
    single-[taxonomy]-[term slug]<br />
    parent-[taxonomy]-[parent term slug] (all parent and grandparent terms in a hierarchy of any depth)</p>
<p>On taxonomy archives (is_archive and is_tax) :<br />
    parent-term-[parent term slug] (all parent and grandparent terms in a hierarchy of any depth)</p>
<p>For single posts, the taxonomy name is included in the class name, because I felt it was important to be able to distinguish between taxonomies in cases where a post is assigned to more than one custom taxonomy, and when the same term might appear in two or more taxonomies. For example, suppose you had a real estate site with property listings in New York City, and you had two custom taxonomies defined: City and State. Then the classes would look like this:</p>
<pre><code>single-city-new-york single-state-new-york
</code></pre>
<h4>Multisite Support</h4>
<p>As of version 1.3, the plugin now supports multisite installations. If a multisite install is detected, the plugin will output the follow additional body class on every page of the site:</p>
<pre><code>site-[site ID]
</code></pre>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<p>If you have a post titled “Top 10 Decorating Ideas”, in category “Christmas”, with a parent category of “Holidays” and a grandparent category of “Calendar”, the additional body classes will be as follows:</p>
<pre><code>postname-top-10-decorating-ideas single-christmas parent-holidays parent-calendar
</code></pre>
<p>Why is this useful? Because it enables you to style individual posts and pages, as well as entire categories of posts, using only CSS, without having to edit the template files or create new templates.</p>
<p>Continuing the above example, if I wanted to give all of the posts in the Christmas category a green heading (to give them some extra holiday cheer), I could use a CSS selector like this:</p>
<pre><code>body.single-christmas h1 {
    color: green;
}
</code></pre>
<p>Going further, suppose I want to attach a background image of a Christmas tree ONLY to the “Top 10 Decorating Ideas” post:</p>
<pre><code>body.postname-top-10-decorating-ideas div.post {
    background: url('images/xmas_tree.gif') no-repeat left top;
}
</code></pre>
<p>What if I want all posts categorized under Holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, whatever) to have a sidebar with a gold border?</p>
<pre><code>body.parent-holidays div#sidebar,  /* all posts assigned to a subcategory of Holidays */
body.single-holidays div#sidebar { /* any posts assigned directly to the Holidays category */
    border: solid 2px gold;
}
</code></pre>
<p>These are just a few examples. If you are experienced in writing CSS selectors, you will find many more uses for the new body classes. For further discussion, check this support forum thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/393942</p>
