It helps visitors request appointments through a guided chat-style interface instead of a long traditional form. The plugin includes a floating booking assistant, an embeddable shortcode, service management, location management, time slot generation, booking records, customer details collection, email notifications, and a modern WordPress-inspired dashboard. AppointPax is ideal for clinics, consultants, schools, salons, service businesses, agencies, repair centers, training providers, and any website that needs a simple appointment request workflow. #### Key Features * Floating chat-style booking assistant * Shortcode support with `[appointpax]` * Unlimited free services * Unlimited free locations * Service-to-location linking * Date and time slot generation * Booking request management * Customer details collection * Admin and customer email notifications * Location-specific notification email support * Booking status updates * CSV booking export * Mobile-first frontend booking experience * WordPress-inspired admin dashboard * Clean settings sections for General, Appearance, Booking Flow, Time Slots and Emails #### Why Use AppointPax? AppointPax turns appointment scheduling into a guided conversation. Instead of asking visitors to navigate complex forms, it walks them through choosing a location, selecting a service, picking an available date and time, and submitting their details. The admin dashboard gives site owners a straightforward way to create services, manage locations, generate slots, review bookings, update statuses, and send notifications. #### Pro Features AppointPax Pro is a separate companion plugin available from Entitude. The free plugin remains fully functional as a standalone appointment booking plugin. Optional Pro extensions may include language translation, payment gateway integrations, PDF booking confirmations, frontend business portal, advanced display rules and white-label options.

The floating widget can also be enabled from the plugin settings. ## Screenshots [⌊Frontend chat booking assistant.⌉⌊Frontend chat booking assistant.⌉[ Frontend chat booking assistant.
