Appneck SDK **does not gather any data by default.** The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data **when a user allows it via the admin notice**. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users. Integrating Appneck SDK **DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY** start gathering data, **without confirmation from users in any case.** Learn more about how [Appneck collects and uses this data](https://appneck.com/privacy-policy/). ## Screenshots [⌊Real-time booking calendar and service selection interface.⌉⌊Real-time booking calendar and service selection interface.⌉[ Real-time booking calendar and service selection interface.

[[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `service-booking-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install WPBookingly directly from **Plugins > Add New** in your WordPress dashboard. 2. Activate the plugin. Activation automatically registers the service post type and refreshes permalink rules. 3. Go to **WPBookingly > Quick Setup** and choose a payment mode: 4. * **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. 5. Configure business hours, payment settings, booking policies, and account pages under **WPBookingly > Settings**. 6. Create a service, add service items and a schedule, then publish it. 7. Display the booking form using the service permalink or the `[service-booking post_id ="123"]` shortcode on any page. ## FAQ ### 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 replace `123` with 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 The older `[bookingplus]` shortcode is obsolete and should not be used.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. In Custom/Native mode the Offline payment gateway is included free, so you can accept bookings and collect payment manually without WooCommerce; online Stripe and PayPal checkout in this mode requires WPBookingly Pro. 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](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/9e5fc652-d645-44ea-8d5a-0947db247fec). Patchstack assists with verification, CVE assignment, and notifying the plugin developers. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7b415216b128d98e3cdd93a5ab26bb1c22da3e7b3d1f675ddfc8c62172be113d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-support-2663/)󠁿 [MhrTheme](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mdhadid/) أبريل 28, 2026 The plugin is working perfectly and their support is very effective. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6eb5fd3cd94c84078b2ab50e636fe5f8ff8b1c6936d12c1bf12b4a054bd4d080? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excelent Plugin and Suport](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excelent-plugin-and-suport/)󠁿 [carlosfabng](https://profiles.wordpress.org/carlosfabng/) أكتوبر 16, 2025 I had a problem with the plugin and the support team worked hard to resolve it.

[Browse the code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/service-booking-manager/), check out the [SVN repository](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/service-booking-manager/), or subscribe to the [development log](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/service-booking-manager/) by [RSS](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/service-booking-manager/?limit=100&mode=stop_on_copy&format=rss). ## Changelog #### 1.4.4 * Fix: Updated the bundled Appneck SDK to the latest version. #### 1.4.3 * New: Updated the bundled Appneck SDK to the latest version. #### 1.4.2 * New: Replaced the Appsero telemetry SDK with Appneck. It does not collect any data by default; it only starts after you confirm via the admin notice. #### 1.4.0 * Added Dynamic Time Slot Length: choose one of the presets or type any custom slot length in minutes, in both the modern and classic service editors. * Added booking duration everywhere: the booked time range and duration now appear on the order item, order emails, My Account, the thank-you page, the native checkout recap, and the booking wizard summary. The slot length is frozen at checkout, so editing a service later never rewrites what a customer already booked. * Added Offline Payment as a free standalone gateway, so Custom/Native payment mode now works without WooCommerce and without Pro. Stripe and PayPal remain Pro features. * Added inline Custom/Native checkout inside the booking drawer for every non-WooCommerce setup, including the offline booking confirmation, instead of redirecting to a separate checkout page. * Added an Orders screen for Custom/Native bookings on free sites, giving a read- only overview of placed bookings. * Added an automatic demo-data import with a floating circular progress widget. Services are imported one per request so constrained hosts no longer hit memory or execution-time limits, and the import now works in standalone mode without WooCommerce. * Added a required payment method check: a booking can no longer be completed until a working gateway is configured. Customers see a short notice, and administrators get a direct “Go to Payment Settings” link. * Added a redesigned Review Settings screen with a card layout, an auto-send toggle, a “send after N days” option, and clickable placeholder chips that insert into the email body. * Improved the booking drawer on phones and tablets with a full visible-height layout, admin-bar aware spacing, touch-sized footer actions, and a corrected tablet breakpoint. * Improved the drawer progress bar so the completed and current steps always match the step being displayed. * Improved duration display so anything an hour or longer reads hour-wise (for example “4 hours” instead of “240 min”) across the service overview and duration chips. * Improved admin styling with a refreshed sidebar, corrected sticky positioning while scrolling, and updated default colours. * Improved Custom Payment mode stability by adding fallbacks for WooCommerce helper functions, preventing fatal errors on admin screens when WooCommerce is not active. * Fixed recurring bookings reporting inflated revenue: each occurrence stored the whole series total, so Analytics and the Order List multiplied the amount by the number of occurrences. * Fixed staff photos rendering as ovals or rectangles instead of circles in the staff edit form and staff list. * Fixed the booking wizard allowing the staff step to be reached without picking a date and time, and cleared a previously picked time when the date changes so a mismatched date/time pair can never be submitted. * Fixed two Back buttons appearing at once in the booking wizard on mobile. * Fixed the “Custom” slot-length input intermittently not appearing when selected. * Fixed “Send Request” and saving on the Reviews screen giving no feedback and switching away from the active tab. * Fixed a fatal error (“Call to undefined method MP_Global_Function::format_price()”) on sites running this plugin alongside other MagePeople plugins. * Fixed a documentation link that contained a duplicate /docs path. * Security: fixed a stored cross-site scripting issue in the admin review “View” modal, where review content submitted by a customer could execute script in a moderator’s browser. Review content is now rendered as plain text. * Security: added a capability check to the review send-request action and restricted the payment settings link to users allowed to manage settings. The server now refuses to create an order when no payment method is available. #### 1.3.1 * Added a modern service creation and editing workflow covering categories, extras, schedules, recurring rules, tax, staff, waiting lists, FAQs, galleries, and formatted service details. * Added One-Click Business Templates that generate an editable, ready-to-book service with sample pricing, content, FAQs, schedules, and staff. * Added an improved quick-setup experience, expanded service list, analytics, staff tools, reviews management, and a searchable in-plugin help guide. * Added partial-payment support across Custom/Native, classic WooCommerce, and WooCommerce Checkout Blocks flows. * Added a complete Custom/Native checkout with protected confirmations, native orders, offline payments, and Stripe/PayPal controls. * Added an inline WooCommerce checkout inside the booking drawer, including billing fields, taxes, coupons, terms, gateway redirects, and checkout-state recovery. * Added reliable retry handling for temporary checkout failures so customers keep their booking selections. * Added a modern Custom/Native My Account area with dashboard, orders, billing, and profile security. * Added booking actions to WooCommerce My Account: View, Reorder, Request Cancellation, Reschedule, Manage Recurring, and Cancel Series. * Added customer cancellation requests with administrator approval, booking history, and policy lead times. * Added recurring-series management for eligible customers. * Added advanced booking coupons with service, value, quantity, schedule, customer, and staff restrictions. * Added GDPR consent, cookie controls, and data export/erasure tools. * Improved the service page, booking drawer, checkout, account tables, and dialogs with responsive styling. * Fixed service permalinks after activation. * Fixed Service Details formatting so rich text from the WordPress editor renders correctly on the frontend. * Fixed intermittent WooCommerce checkout loading, duplicate cart/order attempts, and gateway redirect handling. * Hardened checkout, booking, account, and upload requests with validation, sanitisation, nonces, and rate limits. #### 1.2.2 * Added recurring appointment controls, staff assignment and schedules, and responsive booking layouts. * Added 24-hour time-format support and improved availability handling. * Added assisted WooCommerce installation with AJAX setup and demo import. * Improved permalink sanitisation and request authorisation. #### 1.2.0 * Added analytics, recurring booking, waiting-list, and customer-dashboard foundations. * Added sortable service content and refreshed date/time selection. * Fixed zero-price, extra-service, and order-display issues. #### 1.1.8 * Improved the booking shortcode and resolved service-booking and checkout issues. #### 1.1.3 * Added sortable service categories, subcategories, and FAQs. * Improved service import, icon/image display, and AJAX loading states. #### 1.1.2 * Added buffer-time support and improved startup compatibility checks. #### 1.1.1 * Improved staff visibility rules and service updates. #### 1.1.0 * Improved the service-booking workflow and checkout configuration. #### 1.0.0 Initial release of Service Booking Manager (WPBookingly).
