oozami

<p>Oozami Booking is a clean, lightweight appointment booking plugin for WordPress. It is designed for service providers — hairdressers, therapists, coaches, tutors, freelancers, small clinics, photographers, consultants — who need a simple, reliable booking flow on their own site without recurring SaaS fees.</p>
<p>You define your services, your employees, your opening hours, and you embed a booking form on any page with a shortcode or an Elementor widget. Customers pick a service, a date, a time slot, fill in their details, and receive a confirmation email with an “Add to Google / Outlook calendar” link and a personal management page where they can view or cancel their appointment.</p>
<h4>Core features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Public booking form (shortcode and Elementor widget)</li>
<li>Service catalogue with duration, price, color and active/inactive toggle</li>
<li>Employee management with per-service assignment</li>
<li>Weekly opening hours, plus blocked dates for holidays</li>
<li>Automatic conflict detection (single-resource mode or multi-employee mode)</li>
<li>Pending / confirmed / cancelled booking workflow</li>
<li>Optional auto-confirmation, or manual approval from the admin</li>
<li>HTML confirmation email with .ics calendar attachment</li>
<li>Cancellation email when an admin refuses or cancels a booking</li>
<li>Customer “My appointment” page where customers can review and cancel their booking via a secure token link</li>
<li>Customizable primary color and font family for emails and the booking widget</li>
<li>Multilingual-ready (translation-ready, <code>oozami-booking</code> text domain)</li>
<li>Clean uninstall: all plugin tables and options are removed on uninstall</li>
<li>GPL-compatible, no paid dependency required</li>
</ul>
<h4>How emails work</h4>
<p>Oozami Booking sends emails through WordPress’ built-in <code>wp_mail()</code> function. This is the standard approach used by virtually every booking and form plugin on WordPress.org. If your hosting environment does not have a working SMTP server configured, emails will silently fail — this is a hosting concern, not a plugin issue.</p>
<p>The plugin’s settings page includes a built-in <strong>“Send test email”</strong> button so you can verify delivery in one click. If the test fails, simply install an SMTP plugin (WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, Post SMTP…) and connect it to a transactional email provider such as Brevo, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark or your host’s SMTP. The last delivery error is shown directly in the settings page to help diagnose problems.</p>
<h4>Pro extension (optional)</h4>
<p>A Pro add-on is available for advanced features (online payments, coupons, custom fields, etc.). The free version is standalone.<br />

<h4>External services</h4>
<p>Oozami Booking does not connect to, or send any data to, any external service. All booking data stays in your own WordPress database.</p>
