Description
NexJob Online Booking adds a floating “Book Now” button to your website that connects directly to your NexJob account. When a customer clicks the button, a booking form opens where they can describe their service need, pick a preferred time, and submit a request — all without leaving your site.
Perfect for:
- Plumbers
- HVAC technicians
- Electricians
- Landscapers
- Cleaning services
- Any field service business
Features:
- One-click install — no code or theme editing required
- Customize button text, color, and position
- Live preview in the admin panel
- Bookings flow directly into your NexJob dashboard
- Mobile-friendly floating button
- Lightweight — no impact on site speed
How it works:
- Install and activate the plugin
- Enter your NexJob company slug (found in Settings > Booking Widget in NexJob)
- Choose your button color and position
- Save — the booking button appears on every page of your site
External services
This plugin connects to NexJob (api.nex-job.com), the SaaS platform that powers the booking button. The plugin enqueues a single JavaScript file from https://api.nex-job.com/widget.js on every frontend page of your site (admin pages are excluded) when the booking widget is enabled and a company slug is configured in the plugin settings.
What is sent: the visitor’s NexJob workspace slug (configured by you, the site owner) and the visitor’s interactions with the booking button — clicks, form input, and the submitted booking request (name, email, phone, service requested, preferred time). The widget script is fetched on every page where the button is displayed; booking-request data is sent only when a visitor submits the form.
This service is provided by NexJob LLC.

FAQ
-
Where do I find my company slug?
-
Log in to NexJob, go to Settings > Booking Widget. Your slug is the last part of your booking URL (e.g.,
nex-job.com/book/your-slug). -
Yes. Go to Settings > NexJob Booking and change the “Button Text” field to anything you like.
-
Does this slow down my website?
-
No. The widget script is lightweight and loads asynchronously. It won’t affect your page load speed.
-
Can I disable the widget temporarily?
-
Yes. Uncheck “Enable booking widget on this site” in the plugin settings. The plugin stays installed but the button won’t appear.
-
Does this work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?
-
Yes. The plugin injects the widget via WordPress’s footer hook, so it works with any theme and any page builder.
