slashbooking

<p><strong>SlashBooking</strong> turns any WordPress page into a self-service appointment funnel. A visitor picks a service, sees the available slots in real time, and books in under a minute. You receive an email alert and confirm or decline in one click — no need to log in to WordPress, no third-party SaaS, no recurring fees.</p>
<p>It is a self-hosted scheduling tool: your data stays in your WordPress database.</p>
<h4>Main features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Public booking form via shortcode</strong> — A single <code>[slashbooking]</code> in any page. Multiple services, date picker, real-time slots, customer form, fully responsive.</li>
<li><strong>One-click email confirmation</strong> — Every request arrives with two buttons, <em>Confirm</em> and <em>Decline</em>. No WordPress login required. The action links are signed with HMAC-SHA256 and cannot be forged.</li>
<li><strong>Smart buffers around appointments</strong> — Configure padding (travel, prep) between appointments. Applied automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Multi-slot opening hours</strong> — Monday 9–12 + 14–18, Tuesday morning only, Wednesday off… Each day and each service is configured independently.</li>
<li><strong>Transactional emails with .ics</strong> — Confirmation, decline and acknowledgement emails, each with an automatic <code>.ics</code> attachment so the customer adds the appointment to their calendar in one click.</li>
<li><strong>Built-in GDPR compliance</strong> — Explicit consent before submission, WP_Privacy exporters/erasers, configurable retention, automatic anonymisation.</li>
<li><strong>Built-in anti-spam</strong> — Honeypot and per-IP rate limiting, with no third-party service and no external request.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who it is for</h4>
<ul>
<li>Freelancers and small businesses who want a self-hosted scheduling page</li>
<li>Agencies packaging a website with a booking funnel</li>
<li>Any business where “book a slot” opens the customer journey</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin is fully self-contained. It makes no calls to any external or third-party service and sends no data off your site — every request is handled on your own WordPress installation.</p>
<h3>Source code and build</h3>
<p>The full, human-readable source code is public and maintained at:</p>
<p>https://github.com/ArchSeraphin/slashbooking-lite</p>
<p>The PHP runs unmodified from <code>src/</code>. The admin interface bundle<br />
(<code>assets/dist/index.jsx.js</code> and <code>.css</code>) is compiled from the React/SCSS sources<br />
in <code>src/Admin/react-app/src/</code>, which ship inside the plugin ZIP as well.</p>
<p>To regenerate the compiled admin assets:</p>
<pre><code>npm install
npm run build   (uses @wordpress/scripts — webpack/Babel; outputs to assets/dist/)
</code></pre>
<p>The Composer autoloader in <code>vendor/</code> is generated with <code>composer install --no-dev</code>.</p>

</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>WP Hotelier is a complete hotel booking system for WordPress. Some of the features are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Three different booking modes: instant booking, manual booking (requires admin approval) and booking disabled.</li>
<li>Accept payments: require a deposit at the time of booking or charge the entire stay.</li>
<li>Advanced room settings: manage rooms, beds, and prices.</li>
<li>Seasonal prices: increase reservations by offering discounts on off-seasons.</li>
<li>Mark a room non cancellable and non refundable.</li>
<li>Room extras.</li>
<li>Offer discount codes (coupons).</li>
<li>List your rooms by using shortcodes.</li>
<li>Email notifications.</li>
<li>REST API (new!).</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works?</h4>
<p>WP Hotelier allows you to create two types of rooms: standard or with rates. A room with rates (variable room) lets you define variations of a room where each variation may have a different price, required deposit or conditions.</p>
<p>A room represents a type of room or accommodation available at your hotel. For example, if your hotel offers three “double rooms” with the same price, amenities, etc., just create only one room and set the stock quantity to 3.</p>
<p>Reservations are created when a guest completes the booking process or when the Administrator (or the Hotel Manager) adds a reservation manually. When a guest makes a reservation, the availability (stock) of the room is reduced automatically.</p>
<p>Three different pricing options are supported out of the box: global price, different price for each day of the week and seasonal prices. And a convenient booking calendar for hotel administrators it’s included in the core.</p>
