What your customers get<\/h4>\n\n
Customers pick a service, a specialist and a free time, enter their details and get a confirmation email with an .ics file they can add to their own calendar. Bookings are confirmed automatically or after you approve them, and customers are emailed when you approve, reschedule or cancel. To change or cancel a booking, customers contact you and you update it in the admin calendar. Lite does not include an online customer account area.<\/p>\n\n
Everything here is free<\/h4>\n\n
Every feature in this plugin works without a key, a time limit or a usage limit. There are no locked settings in this plugin.<\/p>\n\n
A separate commercial plugin, Bookzenix Pro, is sold on bookzenix.com for businesses that need online payments, a customer account area, calendar sync, events, packages and similar extras. Pro is a different plugin download \u2013 nothing in this plugin is unlocked by it. If you switch, install Pro and your services, staff and bookings stay where they are.<\/p>\n\n
External services<\/h3>\n\n
Bookzenix Lite does not connect to any external service. It does not load fonts, scripts or styles from other servers and does not send data anywhere. The fonts offered under Settings \u2192 Design (Manrope, Inter, Poppins, DM Sans, Lato, Open Sans, Roboto, Montserrat) are included in the plugin under the SIL Open Font License \u2013 see assets\/fonts\/*\/OFL.txt<\/code>.<\/p>\n\nPrivacy<\/h3>\n\n
Bookzenix stores the name, email, phone and note customers enter when booking, in your own WordPress database. It supports the WordPress personal data export and erase tools and adds a suggested paragraph to your privacy policy page.<\/p>\n\n
To delete every table, option and role the plugin created when you uninstall it, add define( 'BOOKZENIX_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true );<\/code> to wp-config.php before deleting the plugin. Without it, your bookings are kept in case you reinstall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n- Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
- Go to Bookzenix \u2192 Employees and add yourself (and your team) with working hours.<\/li>\n
- Go to Bookzenix \u2192 Services and create your services.<\/li>\n
- Add
[bookzenix_booking]<\/code> to a page, or insert the \"Bookzenix Booking Form\" block.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nShortcode options: [bookzenix_booking service=\"3\"]<\/code> preselects a service, category=\"2\"<\/code> and employee=\"5\"<\/code> filter the form, and layout=\"sidebar\" services=\"grid\" slots=\"pills\"<\/code> change its look on one page.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich timezone is used?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYour WordPress timezone (Settings \u2192 General). Times are stored in UTC, so daylight-saving changes are handled.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can customers pay online?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Customers pay you on site. Online payments are part of the separate Bookzenix Pro plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can customers cancel or reschedule online?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot in Lite. They contact you, and you move or cancel the booking in Bookzenix \u2192 Calendar; the customer gets an email about the change.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can several people book the same time slot (group classes)?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. In Lite each time slot of a specialist can be booked once.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is it translatable?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Every string \u2013 PHP, the booking form and the admin app \u2013 uses the bookzenix<\/code> text domain (see languages\/bookzenix.pot).<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes it work with page builders?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Use the shortcode in any text or shortcode widget.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I get emails delivered reliably?<\/h3><\/dt>\nUse an SMTP plugin with a real mailbox (for example your business email provider). Many hosts block PHP mail.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Where is the source code of the admin app?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe admin screen is a React app. Its full, readable source is included in assets\/admin-src\/<\/code> together with package.json<\/code> and vite.config.js<\/code>. To rebuild it: cd assets\/admin-src && npm install && npx vite build<\/code> (output goes to assets\/admin\/<\/code>).<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n1.3.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Improved: the free plugin is simpler \u2013 code and settings for features it does not include were removed, so every screen shows only what works.<\/li>\n
- Improved: a booking request with several services (REST
items<\/code> list) works in the free plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.3.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: the booking summary shows the service price before a time is picked (it showed 0.00).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Improved: maintenance and stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: Employees design options \u2013 cards, list or compact grid, cards per row, photo size and shape, show the services each person offers.<\/li>\n
- Improved: booking summary and confirmation layout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.2.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Improved: the booking progress (top bar and sidebar) shows every step from the start; steps that a booking doesn't need, like choosing a specialist when only one offers the service, stay visible and are marked \u201cNot needed\u201d instead of popping in or out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.2.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Improved: Settings \u2192 Design works on phones and tablets (no sideways scrolling, two-column colours, floating Preview button).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.2.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Free version: removed leftover paid-plan code paths (licence handling, group capacity, tax, refunds, resources) and the custom CSS box.<\/li>\n
- Security: a booking made with an existing customer's email no longer changes that customer's saved name or phone.<\/li>\n
- Readme explains exactly what the free version includes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.2.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- First release on WordPress.org.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Let clients book appointments on your website: services, staff, working hours, a clean step-by-step booking form and email confirmations.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/398304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398304"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/bookzenix"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=398304"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=398304"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=398304"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=398304"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=398304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
