## Description
Add a **free online booking form** built for **mechanics, auto repair shops and
car service** businesses to any WordPress page. Customers tap a picture service
button, pick a real available time, choose extras, enter rego / make / model and
contact details — and you get an email for every booking.
Unlike generic appointment calendars (Amelia, Bookly, LatePoint and similar), this
form is made for workshops: vehicle fields, service picture buttons, and availability
from your Workshop Hub diary. Built in Australia and works for workshops anywhere.
#### Who it is for
* Mechanics and independent auto repair workshops
* Auto electricians and tyre shops
* Detailers, window tinters and mobile mechanics
* Any shop that takes service bookings online
#### What you get
* **Picture service buttons** – customers pick the job at a glance (swap images
from your Media Library)
* **Real availability** – date and time slots from your Workshop Hub calendar
* **Extras** – optional add-ons during booking
* **Vehicle details** – registration, make and model
* **Contact capture** – name, phone, email and notes
* **Block, shortcode or widget** – Gutenberg block, `[workshop_hub_booking]`, or
classic widget
* **Self-sizing iframe** – the form grows with each step (no inner scrollbars)
* **No tracking** – the plugin sets no cookies and shows no admin ads
#### Free form, optional diary
The online booking form is free. Bookings are emailed to you. If you use Workshop
Hub workshop software (from $59/mo + GST), those same bookings can land straight
in your diary — you do not need a paid plan to run the form.
Don’t have a form yet? [Get one free](https://workshophub.com.au/free-online-booking-form)—
it takes about two minutes.
### External services
This plugin embeds a booking form hosted by **Workshop Hub** (Driven Autocare Pty
Ltd trading as Workshop Hub), which is needed for the plugin to work.
* **What is loaded:** pages that show the form load an iframe from `https://portal.
workshophub.com.au/t//book`. The default service pictures are loaded
from `https://portal.workshophub.com.au/booking-defaults/`.
* **What is sent and when:** when a visitor views a page with the form, their browser
requests the form from Workshop Hub (sending standard request data such as IP
address and user agent). If you chose custom pictures, the public URLs of those
images are included in the form address. When a visitor submits a booking, the
details they enter (name, contact details, vehicle, preferred time and notes)
are sent to Workshop Hub so the booking can be passed to your workshop.
* **Nothing is sent from your WordPress admin** and the plugin does not track your
visitors.

### Credits
Default picture button images are original illustrations owned by Workshop Hub and
are served by the hosted form; they are not included in this plugin. The plugin’s
banner and icon use the Workshop Hub logo and colours (trademarks of Driven Autocare
Pty Ltd).

## FAQ
### Does it cost anything?
No. The online booking form and this plugin are free. Workshop Hub also offers paid
workshop management software (from $59/mo + GST) so bookings can land in your diary,
but you do not need it to use the form — free form bookings are emailed to you.
### Do I need a Workshop Hub account?
Yes — a free booking-form account. Sign up at [workshophub.com.au/free-online-booking-form](https://workshophub.com.au/free-online-booking-form),
confirm your email, then paste your form ID into Settings Workshop Hub Booking.
### Where do bookings go?
To your Workshop Hub account. You get an email for each new booking. With a paid
Workshop Hub plan, bookings can also appear in your workshop diary.
### Does it work with Gutenberg, Elementor and Divi?
Yes. Use the Gutenberg block in the block editor, or drop the `[workshop_hub_booking]`
shortcode into an Elementor Shortcode widget, a Divi Code / Shortcode module, or
any page builder that supports shortcodes. A classic widget is also included.
### Is it mobile friendly?
Yes. The form is designed for phones first and works on tablet and desktop.
### What about privacy / GDPR?
The plugin itself sets no cookies and does not track visitors. Booking data is processed
by Workshop Hub when someone submits the form — see Workshop Hub’s [Privacy Policy](https://workshophub.com.au/privacy).
You remain responsible for your own site privacy notice.
### Where do I find my form ID?
It’s in the embed code emailed to you after sign-up (`data-workshop="your-form-id"`)
and in your booking link `portal.workshophub.com.au/t/your-form-id/book`. You can
paste either — the plugin finds the ID for you.
### Can I change the pictures on the buttons?
Yes. Under Settings Workshop Hub Booking Picture button images, click “Change
image” and pick any image from your Media Library. Your site must use https for
custom pictures to show.
### Can I show more than one form?
Yes — use `[workshop_hub_booking slug="another-form-id"]` or set the Form ID in
the block’s sidebar.
### Can I remove the “Powered by Workshop Hub” link?
The credit link is off by default. Turn it on under Settings Workshop Hub Booking
if you want to show it.
