– Sync booking data between your WordPress site and Square
What data is sent: Customer name, email, phone number, selected service, staff member, and appointment date/time are sent to Square when a booking is created. Availability queries send service and staff IDs.

This plugin loads a script from <code>https://square.site/appointments/buyer/widget/</code> to embed Square’s booking widget.
What data is sent: The visitor’s browser connects to <code>square.site</code> to load the widget script. No personal data is sent until the visitor interacts with the widget.

</ul>
How does it work?
<ol>

<li>Set up your services and availability</li>
<li>Install this plugin and enter your Clienta slug</li>
<li>Customers can now book directly through your website!</li>
</ol>
Requirements:
This plugin requires a Clienta Pro or Full Service subscription to function. The widget connects to your Clienta account to display your services, availability, and process bookings.
External Service Connection:
This plugin connects to Clienta (<a href="https://clienta.nl" rel="nofollow ugc">clienta.nl</a>) to provide its booking functionality. When the widget is displayed on your website, it loads an embed script and iframe from Clienta’s servers to show your services, availability, and process customer bookings.
<ul>
<li>Service Provider: Clienta (clienta.nl)</li>
<li>Data Transmitted: Your Clienta business slug (public identifier)</li>
<li>Data Received: Your services, availability, and booking widget interface</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://clienta.nl/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://clienta.nl/privacy</a></li>
<li>Terms of Service: <a href="https://clienta.nl/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://clienta.nl/terms</a></li>
</ul>
This external connection is essential for the plugin to function, as all booking data is stored and managed on Clienta’s platform. No personal data is sent from WordPress to Clienta – customers enter their information directly in the Clienta widget.
