<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin optionally connects to the following third-party services. All connections are opt-in and only occur when you explicitly configure and enable the relevant integration in the plugin settings.
<h4>Square Appointments (Optional)</h4>
If you configure Square integration, this plugin communicates with the Square API to: 
– Fetch your services, staff, and booking availability from Square 
– Create and manage bookings in your Square Appointments calendar 
– 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. 
When it is sent: Only when a visitor submits a booking form, or when the admin triggers a manual sync.

<h4>Square Booking Widget (Optional — Hybrid Mode)</h4>
If you enable “Hybrid Mode” in settings, a JavaScript widget is loaded from Square’s servers to display Square’s native booking interface.
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.
