It connects to the Bókun booking API and shows your tours, activities, and experiences with their **real-time availability** in a clean, mobile-friendly calendar. Visitors pick a date and time slot and **book on your own site — the cart, booking questions, and payment all run through Bókun (Stripe card payments or reserve-for-payment). The plugin only displays your experiences and takes bookings — no discounts and no deal generation. If you sell tours or activities and manage them in Bókun, this plugin turns any WordPress page into a live tour-booking and activity-reservation page, with on- site checkout, so customers never leave your website. **Features** * Bókun availability calendar — real-time time slots, seats left, and prices pulled from Bókun. * On-site checkout through Bókun — Stripe card payment or reserve-for-payment; no redirect. * Tabbed calendars for multiple tours/activities, experience-card grids, and a single-experience page with hero and gallery. * Shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks, with appearance controls (colors, layout, cards, single page). * Live Bókun bookings viewer in the admin (optional). * Lightweight and privacy-friendly: no tracking, no cookies, no analytics. This plugin is a third-party integration for Bókun. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Bókun ehf. “Bókun” is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to describe compatibility. **Shortcodes & blocks:** * `[bokuned_calendar experience_id="ID"]` — availability calendar + checkout for one experience * `[bokuned_tabs]` — tabbed calendars, one tab per saved experience * `[bokuned_experiences]` — grid of experience cards, each opening a booking calendar * `[bokuned_experience experience_id="ID"]` — full single-experience page (hero, gallery, calendar) Matching Gutenberg blocks are available under the “BookingOptimiser” category in the block editor. ### External services This plugin relies on external services to function. By using it you (and your site’s visitors) interact with the following third parties: **Bókun (booking platform) — required.** What it is: Bókun is a tours-and-activities reservation system. This plugin reads your experiences’ availability and prices from the Bókun API and submits bookings to it. Data sent and when: on page load, requests for availability include your configured experience/ activity IDs and the requested date range. When a visitor books, the data they enter — name, email, phone, number of participants, answers to Bókun’s booking questions, and the payment token— is sent to Bókun to create the booking. Requests are signed with the API Access Key and Secret Key you enter under Connection. Endpoints: https://api.bokun.io Service info: https://www.bokun.io Terms of Service: https://www.bokun.io/terms API Terms: https://www.bokun.io/api-terms Privacy Policy: https://www.bokun.io/privacy-policy **Stripe (card payments) — used only at checkout when your Bókun account takes card payments.** What it is: Stripe processes card payments. During Bókun checkout the plugin loads Stripe.js to tokenize the visitor’s card in the browser. Data sent and when: when a visitor pays by card, their card details are sent directly to Stripe and exchanged for a single-use token; the plugin never sees or stores the raw card number.

It sets no tracking cookies, runs no analytics, and stores no booking, customer, or payment data in your WordPress database — all booking and payment data is handled by Bókun (and Stripe) through their APIs. The only data this plugin saves locally is your plugin settings (API keys, selected experiences, and appearance options). ### Usage Add a shortcode (or the matching block from the “BookingOptimiser” block category) to any page or post. There is also an interactive shortcode builder under **BookingOptimiser Shortcodes in wp-admin that generates the code for you. Every shortcode and block inherits the defaults set under Appearance, and any attribute you pass overrides that default per instance. #### [bokuned_calendar] — availability calendar + checkout for one experience ``` [bokuned_calendar experience_id="12345"] ``` Attributes: `experience_id` (Bókun activity ID), `title`, `subtitle`, `cta` (book- button label), months (1–4), `font_size` (small|medium|large), `density` (comfortable |compact), `button_style` (solid|outline|pill), `week_start` (monday|sunday), `show_weekdays`,` show_title`, `show_subtitle`, show_price, `show_seats`, `show_progress`, `show_fomo`,` show_legend`, `show_image`. #### [bokuned_tabs] — one tab per saved experience ``` [bokuned_tabs] or `[bokuned_tabs experience_ids="111,222,333"]` ``` Attributes: `experience_ids` (comma-separated; omit to show all saved experiences), plus all the calendar feel/visibility attributes listed above. #### [bokuned_experiences] — grid of experience cards ``` [bokuned_experiences columns="3"] ``` Attributes: `experience_ids`, `columns` (auto|2|3|4), `style` (classic|overlay|minimal),` ratio` (landscape|square|portrait), `gap` (sm|md|lg), `hover` (lift|none), `align`( left|center), `shadow` (none|soft|strong), `show_image`, `show_desc`, `cta`. Each card opens a booking calendar inline. #### [bokuned_experience] — full single-experience page ``` [bokuned_experience experience_id="12345"] ``` Attributes: `experience_id`, `layout` (stacked|sidebar|none), `hero`, `hero_height` ( small|medium|large), `gallery`, `description`, `max_width` (px; 0 = full width),` sidebar_months` (1–4), `sidebar_width` (narrow|balanced|wide), `sticky`. Boolean attributes accept `yes`/`no` (or `true`/`false`, `1`/`0`). Blocks expose the same options in the editor sidebar; leaving an option blank inherits the Appearance default. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Blocks This plugin provides 4 blocks. * Bokuned Calendar * Bokuned Tabs * Bokuned Experiences * Bokuned Experience ## Installation 1.
