External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services:
Stripe Payment Processing (api.stripe.com and js.stripe.com)
When the site owner enables Stripe payments, this plugin uses Stripe’s API and JavaScript library to process payments. Customer payment details (card number, expiration, CVC) are transmitted directly to Stripe’s servers and never stored on the WordPress site. Appointment name, email address, and amount are also sent to Stripe. This connection is only made when a customer completes a booking with payment enabled.

Privacy Policy
Serenity Booking does not collect or transmit any data to external servers owned by the plugin author.
When the site owner enables Stripe payments, customer name, email address, and payment card details are transmitted to Stripe, Inc. for payment processing. This data is governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy (https://stripe.com/privacy). The site owner is responsible for disclosing this to their customers.
All booking data (appointments, customers, staff records) is stored exclusively in the site’s own WordPress database.

FAQ
-
Does this require Stripe?
-
No. Stripe is optional. Toggle it on/off under Serenity Booking Settings Stripe. When disabled the payment step is removed from the wizard entirely.
-
Where is the booking page?
-
The booking wizard is available at
yourdomain.com/appointment— no page creation needed. -
Where is the business dashboard?
-
The business dashboard is at
yourdomain.com/serenity-booking-dashboard. Log in with any WordPress admin or staff account. -
Can I manage multiple locations?
-
Yes. Add unlimited locations under Serenity Booking Locations, each with its own address, business hours, and holiday schedule.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. Assets load only on the booking page and dashboard route. Stats are cached via WordPress transients. Nothing loads site-wide.
-
Can my staff use the dashboard without full admin access?
-
Yes. Serenity Booking registers a
serb_staffrole with permission-scoped REST access — staff can view and update appointments but cannot access financials or settings.
