Booking System User Guide.

Before creating your first bookable service, configure your global plugin environment from your WordPress Dashboard.

• Navigate to Bookings → Settings in the admin panel.
• Currency — Enter the 3-letter ISO currency code for checkout, e.g. USD, EUR, or GBP.
• Stripe Integration — Copy your Publishable Key and Secret Key from your Stripe Dashboard and paste them. Only required for paid bookings.
• Admin Email Receiver — The address notified whenever a new booking is placed.
• Email “From” Name — The friendly sender name clients see on automatic confirmation emails.

An Appointment Service utilizes a 3-step dynamic booking calendar mapping directly to your weekly availability matrix.

• Go to Bookings → Add New.
• Enter your service name as the Title (e.g. "1-on-1 Consultation").
• Under Booking Mode, explicitly select Appointments (Time Slots).
• Set Duration (mins) to determine the gap between blocks.
• Enter the Price if Paid (leave as 0 or blank if Free).
• Configure the Availability Matrix by selecting the days you work and setting Start & End times.
• Click Publish.

A Ticket Service morphs the UI to allow multiple customers to purchase limited inventory slots for a fixed-date event.

• Go to Bookings → Add New.
• Enter the event name as the Title (e.g. "Live Performance").
• Under Booking Mode, switch it to Tickets (Fixed Event).
• Set the Event Date & Time in a readable string format.
• Enter the Ticket Capacity. The plugin rigorously tracks this inventory live to prevent overbooking.
• Click Publish.

A Tiered Ticket mode allows users to purchase multiple tickets across different pricing tiers (e.g., VIP, General Admission) simultaneously.

• Go to Bookings → Add New.
• Enter the event name as the Title.
• Under Booking Mode, select Tiered Ticket / Seating.
• Set the Event Date & Time.
• Define your Tiers / Rows. You can add as many as needed, specifying the Name, Price, and Capacity for each tier.
• Click Publish. The frontend will dynamically present these as elegant cards with individual quantity selectors.

The Seating mode provides a visual, interactive auditorium layout where customers can select specific numbered seats.

• Go to Bookings → Add New.
• Enter the event name as the Title.
• Under Booking Mode, select Interactive Auditorium Seating.
• Click Publish. The frontend will render a visual seating chart automatically.
• Customers can click individual seats to toggle them. Sold seats are automatically greyed out and disabled to prevent double-booking.

Every service automatically generates a unique shortcode in a prominent blue box at the top of the admin editor screen.

• Copy your customized shortcode.
• Open any Elementor Page or standard WordPress Post.
• Insert a Shortcode Widget and paste the code.
• The frontend rendering engine takes over immediately upon save!

You retain comprehensive administrative oversight of all reservations submitted cleanly via your dashboard.

• Click on Bookings in the bottom left sidebar of the WP admin panel.
• Review the organized columns mapping out Customer Details, Date, Time, Quantity, and live Status.
• To completely cancel a booking and immediately restore the inventory (time slot or ticket quantity) back into the public pool, simply move that booking to the Trash.
