原文外掛簡介
Managing appointments through phone calls, texts, and emails is chaotic.
You lose track of bookings, double-book appointments, and spend hours on scheduling instead of serving customers.
Bookster turns your WordPress site into a 24/7 booking system.
📌 Documentation | Quick Demo
Customers book appointments themselves, see real-time availability, and receive automatic confirmations.
You manage everything from one dashboard.
💫 Perfect For
Hair salons and barbershops
Spas and beauty clinics
Massage therapists and wellness centers
Personal trainers and fitness coaches
Consultants and coaches
Tutors and education services
Medical and dental practices
Any service business that takes appointments
💙 How It Works
Customers visit your booking page, choose a service, pick their preferred staff member, select an available time slot, and book instantly.
You receive an email notification and can view all appointments in your calendar dashboard. No more back-and-forth scheduling.

Creating a Manual Booking (For Walk-Ins or Phone Bookings)

Choose date and time

Troubleshooting
Booking calendar not showing on my page
Check 1: Verify the shortcode
Make sure you added [bookster_booking_form] exactly (with square brackets).
Check 2: Clear cache
If using a caching plugin, clear your cache: WP Rocket → Clear Cache or similar.
Check 3: Theme conflict
Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme (Twenty Twenty-Five) to test. If it works, there’s a theme conflict.
Customers not receiving email confirmations
Check 1: Email settings
Go to Bookster → Integrations → Email tab and confirm email notifications are enabled.
Check 2: Check spam folders
Ask customers to check spam/junk folders. Add your domain to their contacts.
Check 3: WordPress email issues
WordPress email can be unreliable. Install an SMTP plugin like YaySMTP to improve email delivery:
1. Install YaySMTP plugin
2. Connect it to Gmail, SendGrid, or Mailgun
3. Send a test email to verify
Check 4: Test with yourself
Create a test booking using your own email to confirm emails are sending.
Time slots not showing as available
Check 1: Working hours configured
Go to Bookster → Settings → Schedule and verify hours are set for the day in question.
Check 2: Agent availability
If using staff members, check Bookster → Agents and verify the agent works on that day.
Check 3: Minimum advance notice
Check Bookster → Settings → General → Restrictions, if you require 24-hour notice, today’s appointments won’t show.
Check 4: Service duration
If your service is 2 hours but only 1 hour remains before closing time, that slot won’t appear.
Double bookings happening
This shouldn’t happen with Bookster. If it does:
Check 1: Multiple admin users
If multiple people manage bookings, ensure everyone refreshes the calendar before creating appointments.
Check 2: Contact support
If this persists, contact Bookster support with specific examples.
PayPal payments not working
Go to Bookster → Settings → Payments tab
Verify your PayPal email address is correct
Confirm PayPal is enabled (toggle should be blue/on)
Test in PayPal sandbox mode first
Check if PayPal account is verified and can accept payments
Review PayPal transaction logs for error messages
Calendar showing wrong timezone
Go to Settings → General in WordPress
Set your city timezone correctly (e.g., “New York” or “Berlin”)
Save changes
Go to Bookster → Settings and verify timezone matches
Clear browser cache and reload
