Captures
Instal·lació
- Upload the
service-booking-managerfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install WPBookingly directly from Plugins > Add New in your WordPress dashboard. - Activate the plugin. Activation automatically registers the service post type and refreshes permalink rules.
- Go to WPBookingly > Quick Setup and choose a payment mode:
- Custom/Native mode — no WooCommerce required. WPBookingly provides its own cart, checkout, orders, confirmation screen, and My Account page.
- WooCommerce mode — requires WooCommerce installed and active. Uses WooCommerce’s taxes, checkout, coupons, gateways, emails, and order management.
- Configure business hours, payment settings, booking policies, and account pages under WPBookingly > Settings.
- Create a service, add service items and a schedule, then publish it.
- Display the booking form using the service permalink or the
[service-booking post_id="123"]shortcode on any page.
PMF
-
Is WPBookingly free to use?
-
Yes. The core WPBookingly plugin is completely free. WPBookingly Pro adds premium features such as Google Calendar sync, advanced staff management, PDF invoices, and SMS notifications for businesses that need a more advanced setup.
-
Do I need WooCommerce to use WPBookingly?
-
No. WPBookingly works with or without WooCommerce. Choose Custom/Native mode to run bookings, checkout, and customer accounts without WooCommerce, or choose WooCommerce mode to use WooCommerce’s checkout, taxes, coupons, gateways, and order management.
-
What shortcode do I use to display a booking form?
-
Use
[service-booking post_id="123"]and replace123with your service’s post ID. The older[bookingplus]shortcode is obsolete and should not be used. -
Why does my service page show a 404 error?
-
Current versions register the service post type and flush rewrite rules automatically on activation. If you upgraded from an older version, deactivate and reactivate WPBookingly, or go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes. If the issue persists, check your web server’s rewrite rules and file permissions.
-
Which payment gateways does WPBookingly support?
-
In WooCommerce mode, WPBookingly uses any gateway enabled in WooCommerce, including Stripe and PayPal. Custom/Native mode offers its own gateway options based on your installed edition and Payment Settings. Always test gateway credentials over HTTPS before going live.
-
Can customers manage their own bookings?
-
Yes. Customers can view booking details, reorder a service, request cancellation, and reschedule eligible appointments from their account area. WooCommerce-mode bookings appear under WooCommerce My Account > Orders; Custom/Native bookings appear on the automatically created WPBookingly My Account page, or on any page using the
[mpwpb-user-dashboard]shortcode. -
Can customers cancel or reschedule an appointment?
-
Eligible bookings display cancellation and reschedule controls in the customer account area. Cancellation is submitted as a request and stays pending until an administrator approves it. Availability, ownership, and your configured lead-time policy are always verified on the server.
-
Does WPBookingly support recurring appointments and series management?
-
Yes, when recurring booking is enabled for a service. Customers can view the full series, edit eligible appointments, add a new appointment, and request cancellation of the entire series from their account.
-
How does the booking calendar decide which time slots are available?
-
The calendar calculates available dates and times using the service’s working days, operating hours, duration, capacity, holidays, staff availability, existing bookings, and any booking rules you’ve configured.
-
Can I create custom booking forms with extra fields?
-
Yes. Each service can include its own pricing, schedule, availability, extra services, staff assignments, FAQs, and custom client input fields.
-
Is WPBookingly compatible with any WordPress theme?
-
Yes. WPBookingly is built to work with any properly coded WordPress theme and popular page builders, and it’s fully translation-ready for multilingual sites.
-
Where do I report a security vulnerability?
-
Please report security issues through the official Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. Patchstack assists with verification, CVE assignment, and notifying the plugin developers.
