## Description

The Yeti Dev Bookings Lite adds a “Bookable product” type to WooCommerce. Customers
pick a date and time from a live calendar and pay through your normal checkout, 
with any payment gateway.

A time is held while it is in a customer’s cart, and every booking is checked again
under a lock as it is saved, so two customers can never take the last space at the
same moment.

#### Booking types

 * Time slots – appointments, lessons, sessions and hourly rentals
 * Whole days – equipment and vehicle hire, day passes
 * Slots every 15, 30 or any number of minutes

#### Availability

 * Weekly opening hours with as many time ranges per day as you need
 * Holidays, closures and special opening hours by date
 * Store-wide closed dates
 * Buffer time between bookings
 * Minimum notice and how far ahead customers can book
 * Spaces per slot for classes, tours and events – counted by booking or by person

#### Price

 * A price per booking
 * Ask how many people are coming, with a minimum, a maximum and a price per person

#### Customers

 * A fast calendar that shows which days are available, fully booked or closed
 * Live price as they choose
 * My Account > Bookings to pay, cancel and add to Google, Apple or Outlook calendars
 * A cancellation window you control
 * Confirmation emails with a calendar invite

#### You

 * Bookings list with filters, search and bulk actions
 * Month, week and day calendar
 * Take bookings by phone with Add booking – create a “Pay now” order, mark as paid,
   or just confirm
 * Move bookings to a new time and add private notes
 * Dashboard widget with upcoming bookings
 * Unpaid orders release their times after a period you choose, and late payments
   only keep a time that is still free

#### Works with your site

 * Any theme – “Match my theme” or the “Polished card” style, with your accent colour
 * Block editor blocks, Elementor widgets with full style controls, and shortcodes
   for other page builders
 * WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks, and High-Performance Order Storage
 * Personal data export and erase
 * Translation ready

#### The Yeti Dev Bookings Pro

The Yeti Dev Bookings Pro adds staff and resources, deposits, approvals, nights 
and customer-chosen lengths, pricing rules, types of people and extras, customer
rescheduling, reminders and calendar sync. It uses the same bookings and settings,
so you can switch at any time without losing anything.

### External services

The Yeti Dev Bookings Lite does not contact any outside service by itself.

My Account > Bookings has an “Add to Google Calendar” link (you can turn it off 
under Bookings > Settings). It only opens Google Calendar in the customer’s browser
when they click it, with the booking’s title, date, time and site name filled in.
Nothing is sent unless they click it. Google’s [terms of service](https://policies.google.com/terms)
and [privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) apply to Google Calendar.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 3 blocks.

 *   Booking form
 *   Bookable products
 *   My bookings

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
 2. Install The Yeti Dev Bookings Lite from Plugins > Add New, or upload the zip, and
    activate it.
 3. Create a product and choose “Bookable product” as the product type.
 4. Set the booking type, hours and price in the Booking, Availability and Price tabs,
    then publish.
 5. Optional: choose a style and your rules under Bookings > Settings.

## FAQ

### Can I put the booking form on any page?

Yes. Use the “Booking form” block, the Elementor widget, or the shortcode [tydb_booking_form
id=”123″], which you can add in any page builder’s shortcode or text element.

### Which payment gateways work?

All of them. Bookings go through the normal WooCommerce checkout.

### What happens if two customers choose the same time?

The first to add it to their cart holds it while they check out. The second is told
the time has just been taken and can choose another.

### What happens to unpaid bookings?

If an order is left at Pending payment or Failed for longer than the time you set
under Bookings > Settings, it is cancelled and its time is freed. A payment that
arrives later only keeps the booking if the time is still free; otherwise you are
told so you can rebook or refund.

### Can I move to The Yeti Dev Bookings Pro later?

Yes. Pro 1.1 and later read the same bookings, products and settings. Activate Pro
and it takes over; Lite then does nothing and can be deleted.

### Does deleting the plugin delete my bookings?

Only if you tick “Delete all bookings and settings when the plugin is deleted” under
Bookings > Settings, and The Yeti Dev Bookings Pro is not installed. Products and
orders are never deleted.
