FAQ

Where do I find the organization slug?

It is the organization part of the public booking URL. For example, the slug in https://wanttobook.com/example-business/reserveer is example-business.

Why is the booking form blocked?

For security, WantToBook only allows the booking form to be embedded by the website configured for that organization. Make sure the WordPress site address, including the use of www, matches the website stored in WantToBook.

Can I use a shortcode?

Yes. Use [wanttobook] with the global settings, or override them for one page with [wanttobook slug="example-business" height="900" appearance="dark"]. Appearance accepts system, light, or dark.

Does the plugin store customer or booking information in WordPress?

No. The plugin stores only its organization slug and display height. Booking data is submitted directly to the hosted WantToBook service.

Does the plugin load an external service?

Yes. When a page contains the block or shortcode, it loads the booking form from wanttobook.com. That request is necessary to provide the booking functionality.
