No monthly fees. No locked-behind-SaaS dashboard. All data stays in your WordPress database. #### Three Booking Types in One Plugin **Appointments** One-to-one bookings with staff assignment and real-time slot availability. Add buffer time between sessions, set per-staff hours, and manage holidays per location. Customers select location, service, staff, date, and time in a clean multi-step wizard. **Group Classes** Schedule group sessions with a seat limit. Customers enroll, receive enrollment confirmations, and get reminder emails before each class. Manage enrollment lists and cancellations from the dashboard. Run classes standalone or alongside appointments in Both mode. **Consultations** A separate booking flow built specifically for consultations. Generates a Google Meet or Zoom link automatically at time of booking and includes it in the confirmation email. Supports recurring consultation packages — book once, create a series of sessions with consolidated billing and grouped emails. #### Booking Wizard * Multi-step wizard: Location Service Staff Date & Time Customer Details Payment Confirm * Dedicated URL at `yourdomain.com/appointment` — works out of the box * Returning customer autofill — type a recognised email, name pre-fills instantly * Custom intake forms per service — collect any information before the booking is confirmed * Coupon and promo code support at checkout * Mobile-optimised — works on every screen size #### Payments * **Stripe** — card payments with test and live mode; optional per booking; automatic refund on cancellation * **Razorpay** — full integration for INR and international payments * Both gateways work across all booking types: appointments, classes, and consultations * Payment status emails reflect the actual gateway state — no misleading “payment received” when the charge hasn’t cleared * Payments are entirely optional — disable both gateways and the payment step disappears #### Automated Emails * Booking confirmation, cancellation, and rescheduled notifications — sent to customer and staff * Appointment reminder emails at configurable windows: 48h, 24h, 12h, 6h, 2h, 1h, and 30 min before * Class enrollment confirmation and pre-class reminders * Consultation confirmation including video link, recurring session summaries, and consolidated payment emails * Payment received and payment failed notifications with accurate status copy #### Business Dashboard Access everything at `yourdomain.com/serenity-booking-dashboard`. * Live overview: today’s appointments, revenue, and seat occupancy * Appointments, class enrollments, and consultation sessions in unified views * Customer records — full booking history across all booking types in one profile * Transactions log — Stripe and Razorpay payments with on-demand sync * Staff management — per-staff availability, working hours, and time-off * Holiday and blackout date management per location * Activity log — full audit trail for every booking event #### Setup and Configuration * Guided onboarding wizard — choose your booking mode, set hours, connect payments and Google Calendar, done * Multi-location support — unlimited locations each with their own address, hours, and holidays * Live colour customiser for the booking wizard * Google Calendar OAuth — syncs appointments to staff calendars and generates Meet links for consultations * Zoom PMI link support — paste your personal Zoom link once, it is included in every consultation confirmation * `serb_staff` role — staff get scoped access to their own schedule with no access to financials or settings * Data retention controls — choose exactly what is deleted when the plugin is uninstalled #### Who Uses Serenity Booking Serenity Booking fits any business where clients book time: * **Salons, spas, and barbershops** — appointment mode with staff selection, service menus, and buffer time * **Yoga studios, gyms, and fitness centres** — class mode with seat limits and enrollment management * **Personal trainers and coaches** — appointments or recurring consultation packages * **Therapists, advisors, and consultants** — consultation mode with video links and recurring sessions * **Photographers, tutors, and instructors** — flexible appointment or class configuration * **Multi-service businesses** — run appointments and classes at the same time with Both mode #### What Makes It Different Most booking plugins charge a monthly fee or lock core features behind a “Pro” plan. Serenity Booking ships all booking types, both payment gateways, automated emails, video link generation, recurring consultations, intake forms, coupon codes, multi- location support, and the full business dashboard as part of the free plugin — no upsell required to take a booking. ### External Services This plugin connects to the following external services: #### Stripe (api.stripe.com and js.stripe.com) When the site owner enables Stripe, this plugin uses Stripe’s API and JavaScript library to process card payments.

Appointment (1:1 with staff), Group Class (multiple customers per session with seat limits), and Consultation (1:1 with Google Meet or Zoom link). You can also run Appointments and Classes together using Both mode, or add Consultations as a separate flow alongside either mode. ### Does this work for 1:1 bookings? Yes. Both the Appointment mode and the Consultation mode are built for one-to-one sessions. Appointment mode is time-slot based. Consultation mode adds video link generation and supports recurring session packages. ### Does this support group or class bookings? Yes. Class mode lets you create scheduled group sessions with a maximum seat count. Customers enroll, receive confirmation and reminder emails, and you manage the enrollment list from the dashboard. ### Is Stripe or Razorpay required? No. Both are optional. Toggle them under Serenity Booking Settings. When both are off the payment step is removed from the wizard entirely. You can accept bookings with no payment collection at all. ### Does it generate Zoom or Google Meet links? Yes. For consultations, the plugin generates a Google Meet link automatically when Google Calendar is connected. Alternatively, paste your Zoom PMI link in settings and it is attached to every consultation confirmation. ### Can I collect custom questions from customers? Yes. Intake forms let you add custom fields (text, dropdowns, checkboxes) per service. Answers are saved to the booking record and the customer profile, and pre-filled on repeat bookings. ### How do reminder emails work? Serenity Booking uses WP-Cron to check upcoming appointments hourly and send reminders at the windows you configure: 48h, 24h, 12h, 6h, 2h, 1h, and 30 min before. Each reminder sends once — duplicate sends are blocked automatically. ### Can I run multiple locations? Yes. Add unlimited locations under Serenity Booking Locations. Each location has its own address, business hours, and holiday schedule. ### Can staff log in without admin access? Yes. The `serb_staff` role gives staff access to their own schedule and appointments only. They cannot view financials, customer records for other staff, or plugin settings. ### Will this slow down my WordPress site? No. Plugin assets load only on the booking wizard page and dashboard route. Stats are cached via WordPress transients. Nothing loads site-wide. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Serenity Booking — Appointment, Class & Consultation Scheduling” is open source software.
