Description
EDSA GlowTrack Connector is a lightweight WordPress plugin for salons, barber shops, nail salons, massage studios, spa salons, beauty studios, and related beauty and wellness operators using EDSA GlowTrack.
The plugin does not duplicate GlowTrack inside WordPress. WordPress remains the public website layer, while GlowTrack remains the system of record for services, providers, appointments, clients, forms, checkout, and reporting.
Before connecting the plugin, the business needs access to EDSA CORE with the GlowTrack module enabled. Create or access a CORE account at:
https://www.edsa.dev/core/login/?module=glowtrack#sign-up
After signing in, open GlowTrack > Setup in CORE to copy the GlowTrack site key and generate the WordPress connector token:
https://www.edsa.dev/core/glowtrack/setup/
MVP features:
- GlowTrack connection settings.
- GlowTrack site key and server-side connector token setup.
- Booking widget shortcode and block.
- Service menu shortcode and block.
- Provider listing shortcode and block.
- Intake/contact form shortcode and block.
- Client portal button shortcode and block.
- Basic styling controls for accent color, button text color, radius, and card style.
External Services
This plugin connects to EDSA GlowTrack services operated by EDSA.
By default, the configured service URL is:
https://www.edsa.dev/
The plugin may send server-side requests from WordPress to these GlowTrack public API paths:
/core/api/public/glowtrack/status//core/api/public/glowtrack/services//core/api/public/glowtrack/providers//core/api/public/glowtrack/booking/request//core/api/public/glowtrack/forms/submit/
Requests may include the configured GlowTrack site key, optional tenant ID, and a server-side connector token in the X-EDSA-GlowTrack-Key header. Public visitors submitting a booking or intake/contact form may provide name, email, phone, preferred service, preferred provider, preferred date/time, notes, message, and source URL. That information is forwarded to GlowTrack so the business can manage appointment and client workflows in CORE.
