Yo Booking is a standalone WordPress appointment booking plugin for service businesses.
It combines a customer booking flow with service and staff scheduling, appointment
operations, notifications, offline payments, customer self-service, and developer
integrations.

The core plugin does not require WooCommerce or an external booking service. It 
includes Pay locally and Bank transfer. Online payment gateways are handled by separately
distributed add-ons.

#### Services, staff, and availability

 * Manage service categories, services, staff assignments, and customer profiles.
 * Configure business hours, individual staff schedules, split working periods, 
   and date exceptions.
 * Set lead time, booking window, slot interval, cancellation deadline, and rescheduling
   deadline.
 * Prevent overlapping appointments through server-side availability and conflict
   checks.
 * Follow the timezone, date format, and time format configured in WordPress.

#### Booking and customer self-service

 * Add the responsive booking flow with the Yo Booking block or `[yo-booking]` shortcode.
 * Support guest booking and signed-in customer detail prefilling.
 * Let customers select a service, preferred or first-available staff member, date,
   time, and payment method.
 * Customize colors, layout density, buttons, progress display, prices, and service
   descriptions.
 * Add `[yo-booking-portal]` for signed-in customers to review upcoming and past
   appointments.
 * Provide secure token-based cancellation and rescheduling links with configurable
   deadlines.

#### Appointment operations and notifications

 * Manage appointments in list, month, week, day, and agenda views.
 * Drag, drop, or resize calendar events with conflict validation and rollback.
 * Track pending, confirmed, cancelled, completed, no-show, and rescheduled appointments.
 * Update schedules, status, payment details, notes, and customer records from WordPress
   admin.
 * Send customizable creation, confirmation, cancellation, rescheduling, completion,
   reminder, and payment emails.
 * Attach ICS calendar files, preview templates, send tests, retry failures, and
   review delivery logs.
 * Export authorized appointment, customer, and report data to CSV.

#### Payments, administration, and recovery

 * Offer Pay locally and Bank transfer with no-payment, deposit, or full-payment
   modes.
 * Track unpaid, partially paid, paid, and refunded balances.
 * Record manual payments and refunds with references while preserving booking totals.
 * Use Booking Manager and Booking Staff roles with scoped capabilities and staff
   ownership restrictions.
 * Review audit records for important booking, payment, customer, service, staff,
   and settings changes.
 * Use WordPress personal data export and erasure tools and configurable retention
   cleanup.
 * Create password-encrypted same-site backups and restore managed booking data.
 * Check database tables and scheduled tasks through WordPress Site Health.

#### Developer integrations

 * Create hashed API keys with separate appointment and customer scopes.
 * Use authorized REST endpoints for server-to-server workflows.
 * Send signed outbound webhooks through a retry queue with delivery logs.
 * Register separately distributed payment gateways through the documented provider
   contract.

See `docs/integrations.md` for API and webhook details and `docs/payment-addons.
md` for the payment provider contract.

### Privacy

Yo Booking stores the booking, customer, staff, service, notification, payment, 
audit, and integration-delivery data needed by enabled features in the WordPress
database.

It does not send booking data to an external booking service by default. Data is
sent externally only when an administrator configures a webhook or third-party add-
on. Site owners are responsible for documenting those destinations and reviewing
their privacy terms.

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen, or upload it to `/wp-content/
    plugins/yo-booking/`.
 2. Activate Yo Booking and open **Yo Booking > Dashboard**.
 3. Create service categories, services, staff, and service assignments.
 4. Configure business hours, staff schedules, exceptions, booking limits, and customer
    policies.
 5. Review payment methods, currency display, notifications, and Appearance settings.
 6. Add the Yo Booking block or `[yo-booking]` to the booking page.

## FAQ

### Does Yo Booking require WooCommerce?

No. It is a standalone appointment scheduling plugin. The currency list follows 
the familiar WooCommerce catalog, but WooCommerce is not required.

### How do I add the booking form?

Insert the Yo Booking block in the block editor or add `[yo-booking]` to a page.

### Can customers book without an account?

Yes, when guest booking is enabled. Signed-in customers can have saved contact details
prefilled.

### Can customers cancel or reschedule an appointment?

Yes. Secure token links and the signed-in customer portal support self-service within
the deadlines configured by the administrator.

### Does the core plugin include online card payments?

No. The core includes Pay locally, Bank transfer, deposits, balance tracking, and
manual payment or refund records. Online gateways use separate add-ons.

### How are emails and reminders sent?

They use the WordPress email system, while reminders are processed by WordPress 
Cron. Reliable delivery still depends on the site’s mail or SMTP configuration.

### Does it support WordPress privacy tools?

Yes. The plugin registers personal data exporters and erasers, provides retention
controls, and includes privacy guidance.

### What happens to data on uninstall?

Booking data is retained by default. To remove managed tables, settings, roles, 
and capabilities, enable **Remove all data on uninstall** before uninstalling. Back
up first.

### Can another system connect to Yo Booking?

Yes. The plugin provides scoped API keys, REST endpoints, signed webhooks, and a
payment-provider contract for developers.

## Changelog

#### 2.0.2 (Aug 2, 2026)

   grouped both blocks in a dedicated Yo Booking inserter category.
 * New: Added a Company logo setting with WordPress Media Library selection, upload
   support, removal controls, and an inline image preview.
 * New: Added per-service frontend payment quotes so full-payment, deposit, and 
   no-collection modes are applied consistently before and after booking.
 * New: Added a Notifications Settings tab for sender details, configurable email
   colors, editable footer text, and a live HTML design preview.
 * Improve: Updated the Yo Booking block icon to use the matching UIcons calendar
   and normalized its visual size in the block inserter.
 * Improve: Reorganized General settings into Company information, Regional settings,
   Booking rules, and Customer booking sections; moved Default currency to Payments
   and widened settings table labels.

   values for calculations.

   header, the centered company logo or brand-colored company name above the card,

   only when collection mode is Deposit, while keeping full-payment collection active
   without the deposit summary.
 * Improve: Renamed Booking Portal to Customer Portal, moved Appearance above Reports,
   and removed the Admin icons row from System Status.
