## Description

Websel Booking is a lightweight booking system built for solo professionals and 
small studios (yoga and pilates teachers, therapists, consultants, tutors) who take
reservations for classes, sessions and events.

English is the source language. Translations, Turkish included, are delivered through
translate.wordpress.org; on a Turkish site the plugin presents itself as “Websel
Rezervasyon”, sold and supported locally by Websel Donusum.

**Free features**

 * **Services with time slots** — one-on-one (capacity 1) or group (with capacity)
   services; slots are generated from weekly availability, either split by duration
   or as a single block per range.
 * **Booking form with e-mail approval** — visitors request a slot with name/e-mail/
   phone; the request is stored as “pending”, the admin approves it and the customer
   automatically receives a confirmation e-mail. No payment gateway required.
 * **Monthly calendar** — all services in one color-coded monthly schedule; clicking
   a day lists that day’s classes and opens the booking form inline.
 * **Class list** — a compact list view of your classes with the next available 
   slots.
 * **Event announcements** — a separate “Events” section for workshops, camps and
   announcements, with an optional “remind me by e-mail” form (explicit consent 
   checkbox, unsubscribe link, no newsletter).
 * **Slot locking** — a slot being booked is temporarily locked so two visitors 
   cannot book the same seat.
 * **Terms consent** — optionally require a “I have read and accept the reservation
   terms” checkbox linked to a page you choose.
 * **WhatsApp / Instagram buttons** — optional contact buttons next to the booking
   widget.
 * **Every calendar and list view** — classic monthly calendar, Calendly-style columns,
   compact time picker, showcase list with large images and a service carousel. 
   No view is held back.
 * Appearance options: widget background, list style, font sizes, event colors.

#### Pro version

[Websel Booking Pro](https://ayaner.com/solutions/websel-booking/) is a separate
add-on plugin that adds:

 * **WooCommerce sales** — paid bookings through the cart/checkout, event ticket
   sales with early-bird pricing and remaining-seat counters.
 * **Recurring (series) bookings** — “repeat this class weekly” for N weeks in one
   step.
 * **Waitlist** — full slots collect a waitlist and notify when a seat opens.
 * **Credit packages** — sell class packages; logged-in customers book by spending
   credits.
 * **Pre-booking intake form** — customizable questions asked before the reservation
   is completed.
 * **Automatic reminders** — e-mail (and optional SMS) reminders before the class.

### External services

These only apply if you add a YouTube or Vimeo link as an event’s video. If you 
never do, neither service is ever contacted, and all other features (services, bookings,
the calendar, e-mail approvals) work entirely within your own WordPress database.

 * **YouTube** — the event page embeds the video with a standard YouTube iframe 
   player, and shows a thumbnail loaded directly from `img.youtube.com`. Both are
   loaded by the visitor’s browser when they open that event’s page; the plugin 
   itself makes no server-side request to YouTube. Terms: https://www.youtube.com/
   t/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
 * **Vimeo** — the plugin’s server calls Vimeo’s oEmbed API (`vimeo.com/api/oembed.
   json`) to fetch the video’s thumbnail image so it can be shown without you uploading
   one. Only the video URL you entered is sent, only when that event’s detail page
   is first viewed, and the result is then cached for 7 days. Terms: https://vimeo.
   com/terms — Privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy

## FAQ

### Does it require WooCommerce?

No. The free version works completely standalone with the e-mail approval flow. 
WooCommerce is only used by the Pro add-on for paid bookings.

### Is the interface in English?

Yes. English is the source language. A Turkish translation is available on translate.
wordpress.org and loads automatically on Turkish sites once translated — on those
sites the plugin presents itself as “Websel Rezervasyon”. You can also translate
it into any other language through the same system.

### How do I show the booking form?

Create a service, then add the shortcode to any page: `[websel_booking id="123"]`.
There are also shortcodes for the general calendar `[websel_booking_schedule]`, 
the class list `[websel_booking_list]` and event announcements `[websel_booking_events]`.

### Where are booking requests stored?

As a custom post type in your own WordPress database.
