4WP Booking

Beskrivning

4WP Booking lets visitors pick a service, a date, a time, and submit their details. Requests go through WordPress. Provider API keys and bot tokens stay on the server.

A plugin by 4wp.dev. 4WP is our project brand; the letters ”WP” appear only as part of that brand name, not as a reference to WordPress. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by WordPress or by ClinicCards / Cliniccards Corp.

How it works

1. Activate 4WP Booking.
2. Open 4WP Booking in wp-admin: choose a provider, set notifications, save.
3. Place the 4WP Booking block, the [forwp_booking] shortcode, or the Elementor widget.
4. Visitors book through the calendar template.

Key features

• Pluggable providers (ClinicCards live; Google Calendar and Calendly planned)
• Calendar booking template (service → date → time → guest details)
• Gutenberg block, shortcode, optional Elementor widget
• Notifications tab: email and Telegram for bookings; optional form → Telegram (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms)
• Server-side API calls; credentials never sent to the browser

Privacy

Guest name, phone, email, and optional comment are sent to the selected provider only when the visitor submits the booking form. When Telegram or email notifications are enabled, the same booking (or form) fields are sent to those channels. API keys and bot tokens are stored as WordPress options and are not exposed in front-end HTML or JavaScript.

External services

ClinicCards

When the ClinicCards provider is selected and a visitor uses a booking form, WordPress sends server-side HTTPS requests to https://cliniccards.com/api (staff, cabinets, schedule, patients, and visits). Requests include the clinic API token from plugin settings and the booking payload (name, phone, email, date, time).

This service is provided by Cliniccards Corp:

• Terms of use: https://cliniccards.com/
• Privacy policy: https://cliniccards.com/
• API documentation: https://cliniccards.com/api

Telegram Bot API

When Telegram notifications are enabled (bookings and/or form submissions), WordPress sends server-side HTTPS requests to https://api.telegram.org/ to deliver messages to the chat IDs you configure. Requests include your bot token and the message text (booking or form fields).

Telegram is operated by Telegram FZ-LLC / Telegram Messenger Inc. See https://telegram.org/privacy and https://core.telegram.org/bots/api.
