<ul>
<li><code>[ulbm_booking_form id="1"]</code> — booking form for a booking type</li>
<li><code>[ulbm_listing_grid type="car-rental" columns="3" limit="12"]</code> — filterable listing grid</li>

<h4>External services</h4>
<p><strong>Bootstrap 5.3.8</strong>, <strong>Bootstrap Icons 1.11.3</strong>, and <strong>Chart.js 4.5.1</strong> are bundled inside the plugin (<code>assets/vendor/</code>) and enqueued from the site only on admin and booking UI screens. No CDN is used for those libraries.</p>
<p><strong>Optional — Google Maps (not affiliated with Google):</strong> If the site owner enables embedded maps under <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Partner Portal</strong>, listing pages can show a button for visitors to opt in before loading an iframe from <code>https://maps.google.com/</code>. Until the visitor clicks that button, no request is sent to Google. When loaded, the visitor’s IP address and map coordinates may be processed by Google. Terms: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/ — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</p>
<p><strong>Optional:</strong> Listing video embeds use WordPress <code>wp_oembed_get()</code> for URLs the site owner adds (e.g. YouTube). WooCommerce integration loads only when WooCommerce is active. Demo content uses placeholder images bundled in <code>assets/demo/</code> (no remote downloads).</p>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>Booking forms collect customer name, email, phone, and booking details stored in your WordPress database. Configure your site privacy policy for GDPR compliance.</p>
