WordPress 預約日曆外掛程式
在 Start Booking，我們認為一個簡單的線上預約體驗對任何高轉換率的網站都至關重要。Start Booking 是一個專注於幫助個人和企業管理客戶、預約更多服務並銷售服務的 WordPress 預約日曆外掛程式。
這個預約日曆外掛程式與 Start Booking 平台無縫連接，提供一個優化的預約日曆，可以在你的 WordPress 網站任何地方顯示，並讓你的使用者直接在你自己的網域中預約。這個外掛程式已經開發成符合你的 WordPress 佈景主題樣式，所以最少（若有的話）的更新即可讓你的網站擁有出色的預約日曆外觀和性能。
使用 Start Booking 的預約服務，你將找到一個適當的平衡點，使你可以在 WordPress 管理員和 Start Booking 平台之間使用預約工具。從我們的經驗來看，大多數企業都不想直接在他們的 WordPress 管理員中經營他們的業務。因此，我們開發了 Start Booking 在線預約軟體，以幫助你更好地管理你的服務、預約、課程和業務，同時將你的 WordPress 網站作為工具和體驗的一部分。
嵌入預約系統
安裝外掛程式後，有幾種選項可顯示預約日曆。如果你使用古鐸（Gutenberg）編輯器（WordPress 5.0+），則可以使用我們的區塊來嵌入預約表單。如果你不使用 Gutenberg，我們仍然支援現成的預約體驗所需的短碼。
Gutenberg 區塊
要使用 Gutenberg 區塊，請導航到任何想要顯示預約表單的頁面或文章。
服務區塊
第一個也是最受歡迎的選擇是服務區塊。此區塊將顯示一個可配置的預約流程，供使用者選擇服務和預約日期，並基於你的 Start Booking 設置返回可用開放時段。
單一服務時段
第二種預約選項與服務區塊非常相似，只是使用單一服務可用性短碼，你預先定義你希望選擇的服務，因此使用者跳過選擇服務，僅選擇日期和時間。
例如，如果你的網站為每種服務都提供單獨的頁面，你可以直接在每個頁面中嵌入單一服務可用性短碼，以使使用者在相關內容中預約該服務。這可以讓你的使用者不必在一般服務可用性預約體驗中搜尋該服務。
要使用此短碼，在你的文章、頁面、小工具等中放置 [startbooking_cta services="YOUR SERVICE ID" ]Book Now[/startbooking_cta] 短碼。請務必將「YOUR SERVICE ID」替換為你的實際服務 ID。你可以直接從外掛程式的 wp-admin 設定頁面查看你的服務 ID。最後，你可以添加多個服務 ID（逗號分隔）以預先選擇預約服務的捆綁。
課程和群組預約區塊
第三種預約日曆選項是顯示你的班級列表，供使用者加入。班級可以是從瑜伽班到團體聚會等任何事情。服務和班級預約體驗之間的主要區別在於服務提供了個別的預約體驗。

原文外掛簡介
Online scheduling and booking plugin
At Start Booking, we believe that a simple online booking experience is critical to any highly converting website. Start Booking is a WordPress booking plugin that is focused on helping individuals and businesses manage customers, book more appointments, and sell their services.
The appointment scheduling plugin seamlessly connects with the Start Booking cloud platform to power your online booking and display your services or classes anywhere on your WordPress site. The plugin has been developed to adopt and inherit your WordPress theme styles, so minimal (if any) updates are needed to give your website a performant and professional looking booking calendar.
With appointment booking from Start Booking, you will find a nice balance between the booking tools available to you straight from the WordPress admin and that which is available from within the Start Booking platform itself. From our experience, most businesses don’t want to run the day-day of their business directly within their WordPress admin. Because of this, we developed the Start Booking online scheduling software to help you manage your services, appointments, classes and business better while leveraging your WordPress website as a tool and integral part of the experience.
Embedding the booking system
Once the plugin is installed, there are a few options for displaying your booking calendar. If you are using the Gutenberg editor (WordPress 5.0+), you will have the option to use our blocks to embed your booking form. If you are not using Gutenber, we still support shortcodes for the legacy booking experience.
Gutenberg Blocks
To use the Gutenberg blocks, navigate to any page or post that you want to display your booking form.
Services Block
The first and most popular option is the services block. This block will display a booking flow (which is configurable) for a user to select a service and date they want to book and the plugin will return available openings based on your Start Booking settings.
Single Service Availability
The second appointment booking option is a lot like the services block except with the single service availability shortcode, you predefine what service you want selected so that the user skips selecting a service and only selects a date & time.
Example usage for this would be if you have single pages on your website for each of your services. You could embed the single service availability shortcode directly into each page so your user could book that service in context. This really helps your user by not having to search for the service in the general service availability booking experience.
To use this shortcode, place [startbooking_cta services="YOUR SERVICE ID" ]Book Now[/startbooking_cta] shortcode in your post, page, widget etc. Be sure to replace “YOUR SERVICE ID” with your actual service ID. You can view your service ID’s directly from the plugin wp-admin settings page. Lastly, you can add multiple service ID’s (comma separated) to have a bundle of services preselected for booking appointments.
Class & Group Booking Block
The third booking calendar option is to display a list of your classes that your users can join. Classes can be anything from yoga classes to group meetups. The main difference between the service and class booking experiences is that services will display to your customers available openings (times that you have open) where as the classes experience displays times that were predefined and can support multiple users joining a class.
To use the the classes block, add the block in any of your posts or pages that you want.
For each of these options, there are additional settings such as the ability to change the booking button colors so they better match the look of your online calendar, changing the text in the flow, etc. To learn more about the available options of the WordPress booking plugin please visit the Start Booking WordPress plugin knowledge base.
