Divine Appointment Booking Lite
Divine Appointment Booking Lite
Description
Divine Appointment Booking Lite is a lightweight appointment booking plugin. Let your customers pick a service, choose a date and time, and book — payment is collected at the appointment, so there is nothing to configure and no payment gateway to set up.
Features
- Per-service pricing — every service gets its own rate
- Clean 2-step booking flow: date/time, then details
- Custom calendar that respects business days, hours, and blocked dates
- Minimum notice period and maximum advance booking window
- HTML email notifications to the customer and the site admin
- Status update emails when you confirm, complete, or cancel a booking
- Admin dashboard with filterable booking list and inline status changes
- Configurable payment note (e.g. “Payment collected at your appointment — cash or card”)
- REST API with API-key authentication for external integrations
- Shortcode based — works with any theme and any page builder
- No external services, no tracking, no build tools
Usage
Add the shortcode to any page or post:
[dcabl_booking]

Faq
Payment is collected at the appointment (pay on arrival). You can customize the payment note shown on the booking form and in the confirmation email — for example, “We accept cash and card at the studio.”
Go to Settings General and enter one service per line in the format Service Name|Price, for example Consultation|100.
The booking is saved with pending status, the customer receives a confirmation email, and the admin receives a notification. You can confirm, complete, or cancel the booking from the dashboard — each status change emails the customer.
No. Slots with a pending or confirmed booking are shown as unavailable, and the server rejects double-bookings even if two people submit at the same moment.
No. Everything runs on your own site. Emails are sent through the standard WordPress mail system.
Yes. Deleting the plugin removes all plugin options and drops the bookings table. Deactivating does not remove anything.
