Every empty chair costs you money. Vollstart Appointment Desk turns no-shows and empty slots into booked revenue for hair salons, dental and medical practices, consulting firms, and repair shops. Customers book in 30 seconds. Walk-ins pull a queue number at the door. Native WooCommerce checkout for paid appointments — no third-party connector, no per-extension upsell.
Video
No double bookings. Slot holds reserve the time slot while the customer fills out the form. Other booking plugins let two customers book the same slot simultaneously — Appointment Desk prevents this.
No per-extension upsells. One plugin, one price. No surprise add-on costs for basic features like email notifications or calendar views.
GDPR-friendly by design. All customer data stays in your WordPress database. No external tracking, no third-party data sharing. Your data, your server.

Why Appointment Desk?
Most booking plugins only handle online appointments. But real businesses also have walk-in customers, a reception desk, and a waiting room. Appointment Desk handles all of it:
Book — Customers self-book online. Slot holds prevent double bookings.
Queue — Walk-ins pull a number. TV display shows who is next.
Done — Staff manage everything from one cockpit. No spreadsheets, no chaos.

External Services
This plugin does not connect to any third-party or external services. All data is stored locally in your WordPress database. No customer data leaves your server.
The optional Pro add-on plugin (sold separately at vollstart.com) connects to vollstart.com for license validation and update checks. The free plugin hosted on WordPress.org does not make any external connections.
The Business tier of the Pro add-on offers optional Google Calendar Sync. When enabled by the site administrator, appointment data (customer name, email, service, date/time, location) is sent to the Google Calendar API (https://developers.google.com/calendar) to create, update, and delete calendar events. Busy times are read from Google Calendar to prevent double bookings. This requires the administrator to create OAuth 2.0 credentials in the Google Cloud Console and authorize the connection.
