## Description

HAQ Booking turns your WordPress site into an appointment booking system. Everything
runs inside this plugin — no theme dependency and no required companion plugins.

#### Features

 * Create services with duration, price and status
 * Manage staff, working hours, breaks and assigned services
 * Customer records with booking history
 * Appointment list and admin calendar
 * Availability engine with open time slots
 * Mobile-friendly booking form via shortcode `[haq_booking]` or Gutenberg block
 * Email confirmation, cancellation and reschedule notices
 * Customer cancel and reschedule via secure token links
 * GDPR export / erase personal data support

#### Shortcode

Place this shortcode on any page:

    ```
    [haq_booking]
    ```

Or insert the **HAQ Booking** block in the editor.

#### Optional extensions

An optional commercial add-on can extend HAQ Booking with messaging, payments and
calendar sync. The free plugin works fully on its own.

#### Privacy

The plugin stores customer name, email, phone, optional messaging number, appointment
details and related notes in your WordPress database. The free plugin does not send
data to third-party APIs.

## Installation

## FAQ

### Does this require a specific theme?

No. It works with any standard WordPress theme.

### Where is data stored?

In custom tables in your WordPress database (`wp_haqb_*`).
