Descripción
Swellweb Booking adds free-slot appointment scheduling to WordPress. You set how
long an appointment lasts, how much of a break to leave between one and the next,
and which time ranges you are available in — the plugin works out the bookable
slots and shows them to your visitors.
Everything runs on your own site: no external service, no third-party account,
no data sent anywhere else.
Features
- Appointment types with configurable duration, buffer between appointments
and weekly availability (several time ranges per day). - Front-end calendar via shortcode: a real month calendar where only the
bookable days are selectable (closed days, past days and fully booked days are
greyed out), with month navigation. Pick a day, see the free times, done. - Optional context field: visitors can add a short note about what they want
to discuss — it reaches you in the notification email and in the dashboard. - Double-booking protection: the slot is checked again when the booking is
confirmed, so two people cannot take the same time. - Automatic emails: confirmation to the visitor, notification to the admin.
- Dashboard: bookings in the next 7 days, this month and in total, your next
appointments and a short setup checklist — everything at a glance. - Agenda view: a month calendar in the dashboard showing every appointment at
a glance, with month navigation; click an entry to open the booking. - Bookings list in the dashboard with date, time, name and email, sortable.
- No dependencies: no external libraries, vanilla JavaScript, lightweight CSS.
- Responsive and accessible on desktop and mobile.
- Translation ready: POT file included, Italian translation bundled.
Getting started
- Go to Bookings Appointment types and create one, for example
Intro call (30 min). - Set the duration, the buffer and the time ranges for each day.
- Copy the shortcode shown in the sidebar box and paste it into a page.
Privacy
The plugin stores the details entered by the person booking (name, email, day and
time) in your own database, and sends two emails through WordPress: the
confirmation to the visitor and the notification to the site administrator. It
does not contact any external service and does not collect usage statistics.
Instalación
- Upload the
swellweb-bookingfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the
plugin from your WordPress dashboard. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
- Create an appointment type under Bookings and publish the shortcode on a
page.
FAQ
-
Do I need an account on an external service?
-
No. The plugin runs entirely on your site: settings, slots, bookings and emails
all stay on your WordPress installation. -
Can I have more than one appointment type?
-
Yes. Create as many as you need and publish the shortcode with the ID:
[swellweb_booking type=”123″]. Without the attribute, the first published type
is used. -
How do I handle a lunch break?
-
Add two time ranges to the same day, for example 09:00–13:00 and 14:00–18:00.
The generated slots will skip the gap automatically. -
Can two people book the same slot?
-
No. Besides hiding slots that are already taken, the plugin checks availability
again when the booking is submitted: if the time was taken in the meantime, the
visitor is told and picks another one. -
Are past times shown?
-
No. Slots earlier than the current time are excluded automatically.
-
Which data does the plugin store?
-
Name, email address, day and time of each booking, plus the settings of your
appointment types. Nothing is sent to external services.
