## Deskripzioa

Circumflex Booking is a self-hosted appointment booking plugin for treatments,
 
consultations, and other scheduled services. Customers request an available time,
and authorized staff approve or reject each request manually.

#### Customer booking

 * Let customers choose one service or combine several, according to the
    standard-
   profile setting.
 * Show a practitioner choice or “first available” when several practitioners
    qualify.
   The choice is hidden automatically when only one qualifies.
 * Present available dates and start times in accessible calendar and list views.
 * Collect name, email address, phone number, and an optional practical comment.
 * Reserve a requested time while the booking is pending, preventing another
    customer
   from taking it.
 * Send customer and staff notifications for booking events and reminders.
 * Give confirmed customers a private link to view the booking, request another
   
   time, or cancel within the configured deadline.

#### Administration

 * Choose appointments or a validated add-on workflow without changing stored
    services,
   resources, hours, or bookings. Returning from an add-on to the Core default is
   kept behind a deliberate, confirmed control.
 * Configure services, durations, buffers, prices, deadlines, displayed
    duration,
   drag-and-drop order, and whether buffers must fit opening hours.
 * Configure practitioners and assignments; inactive, unused catalog items can
    
   be permanently deleted while booking-linked history remains protected.
 * Add date exceptions below the weekly schedule, with one checkbox to close or
   
   add extra opening hours for either the selected practitioner or every practitioner
   across an inclusive date period; manual blocks remain available.
 * Review bookings across all services in a day/week time grid with resource
    tracks,
   continuous publicly bookable periods and visibly distinct Pro-held online capacity;
   month view remains a compact booking overview.
 * Optionally let linked practitioners decide only requests assigned to them.
 * Configure and preview email identity and templates.
 * Use WordPress privacy tools, retention, diagnostics, configuration transfer,
   
   and the selected privacy policy.

#### Add the booking form anywhere

Circumflex Booking does not create or reserve a booking URL. Create or edit a
 WordPress
page and insert the Circumflex Booking block, the [circumflex_booking] shortcode,
or optional Elementor widget. Publish it and share that page’s URL with customers.
Elementor, WooCommerce, and customer accounts are not required.

All shipped functionality is available without payment or a license key.
 Payments,
recurring bookings, and multiple locations are outside scope. Email uses `wp_mail()`;
a separate SMTP plugin is recommended.

#### Optional Pro add-on

Circumflex Booking Pro separately adds automation, capacity controls,
 notification
channels, follow-up, and anonymous statistics. Free remains fully usable; its license
controls only Pro updates and support.

[Compare Free and Pro](https://circumflex.no/en/circumflex-booking/pro/#cfx-pro-compare-title).

Booking and diagnostics stay on the site. Optional Cloudflare Turnstile is
 disabled
by default and disclosed below.

### Privacy and External Services

The site’s database stores customer contact details, optional practical
 comment,
services, practitioner, appointment time, and customer-notice snapshot. Internal
notes are visible only to authorized roles.

By default, personal data is anonymized 365 days after a terminal status; the
 period
is configurable. Contact details, free text, customer tokens, and identifying notification
and audit data are removed. WordPress privacy export and erasure are supported. 
Erasing an active booking keeps its reserved time.

Authorized administrators can generate local diagnostics that omit personal
 data,
free text, tokens, secrets, IP addresses, and site URLs. Nothing is sent to Circumflex
AS.

#### Cloudflare Turnstile

[Cloudflare Turnstile](https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/) is an
 optional
anti-spam service. It is disabled by default and requires Cloudflare keys plus explicit
administrator activation.

When enabled, the browser loads `https://challenges.cloudflare.com`. Cloudflare

processes signals including IP address, TLS fingerprint, User-Agent, site key, and
origin. WordPress sends the secret and response token to Siteverify but does not
explicitly add the visitor IP. Bookings fail closed if verification cannot finish.

Review Cloudflare’s
 [Turnstile Privacy Addendum](https://www.cloudflare.com/turnstile-privacy-policy/),
[Privacy Policy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/), and [Terms](https://www.cloudflare.com/policies/terms/)
before enabling the service. The site owner must reflect this processing in the 
site’s privacy information.

### Source Code

Source and build instructions are in the
 [public GitLab repository](https://gitlab.slettene.com/gvar/circumflex-booking).

### Support

Use the Support tab for help. Product information is at
 [circumflex.no/circumflex-booking](https://circumflex.no/circumflex-booking/).
Never post customer data, private links, credentials, or health information.

## Instalazioa

 1. Install and activate Circumflex Booking.
 2. Add at least one service under Booking > Services.
 3. Add a practitioner, assign services, and configure recurring hours under Booking
    > Practitioners and Booking > Availability.
 4. Review deadlines, notices, retention, recipients, and email templates under Booking
    > Settings.
 5. Select the site’s privacy policy under Settings > Privacy.
 6. Create or edit a normal WordPress page, add the block, shortcode, or Elementor 
    widget, publish it, and share its URL.
 7. Check Tools > Booking status, then make and process a test booking before opening
    the page to customers.

The tested and supported database baseline is MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.11 and newer.
Older versions may work, but they are not tested or supported. Use HTTPS and configure
the site’s mail or SMTP setup before accepting real bookings. The database version
alone does not deactivate the plugin.

## MEG

### Does Circumflex Booking create a booking URL?

No. Add the block, `[circumflex_booking]` shortcode, or Elementor widget to a
 normal
page you create. Publish it and use that page’s URL. All three use the same booking
flow and settings.

### Can analytics measure a successfully submitted booking?

Yes. The receipt stays visible and the URL gains `booking-received=1`. For
 exact
GA4 measurement, trigger Google Tag Manager on the Custom Event circumflex_booking_received
and send `generate_lead`. It fires once per accepted response and contains no booking
or customer data. The plugin does not load analytics; site owners configure analytics
and consent.

### Are notification emails sent immediately?

An asynchronous worker starts as soon as a message is queued. WordPress cron
 remains
as fallback and for retries. Inbox delivery depends on the site’s wp_mail() or SMTP
setup.

### Can customers change or cancel an appointment?

Confirmed customers can receive a private link to request a new time or cancel
 
before the deadline. New times require manual approval. Treat the link as a secret
access key.

### Can practitioners approve assigned requests?

Yes, when enabled. An active practitioner needs a notification email and linked

Practitioner account. Access is limited to their own requests; managers retain access
to all requests.

### Should customers enter health information in the comment field?

Configure the warning beside the optional comment to tell customers not to
 submit
health or other sensitive data that is not needed for scheduling.

### What happens when the plugin is deactivated or removed?

Deactivation and normal uninstall preserve data. Permanent deletion requires an

authorized administrator to enable and confirm the uninstall deletion option.
