ShopSlot lets customers book service appointments on your WordPress site. It is built for auto repair, RV, marine, detailing, and other specialty shops that book predictable, repeatable service types.<\/p>\n\n

ShopSlot Free provides reliable instant booking with unlimited services. Configure services, weekly availability, lead times, booking horizons, blackout dates, buffers, customer details, and appointment status history from WordPress.<\/p>\n\n

What you get in ShopSlot Free<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Unlimited services for predictable appointment types<\/li>\n
  • Weekly availability, lead times, and booking horizons<\/li>\n
  • Blackout dates and extra-hours overrides<\/li>\n
  • Service buffers and conflict checks before a slot is confirmed<\/li>\n
  • Appointment review with status history<\/li>\n
  • A customer booking form placed with the [shopslot_booking]<\/code> shortcode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    ShopSlot Pro (optional, sold separately)<\/h4>\n\n

    The separate ShopSlot Pro add-on adds request-and-approve workflows for complex jobs, maintained vehicle suggestions, service-specific staff routing, reusable notification templates, and optional customer notifications after staff edits. ShopSlot Free works without it.<\/p>\n\n

    Switching from another booking plugin<\/h4>\n\n

    The read-only Migration Center can identify familiar scheduling-plugin installations and produce sanitized inventory evidence without changing source data or exposing customer values. This release has no self-service import button.<\/p>\n\n

    ShopSlot does not include invoicing, accounting, or inventory management.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Upload the shopslot<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install the ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate ShopSlot.<\/li>\n
    3. Add services and configure availability under ShopSlot<\/strong> in the WordPress administrator.<\/li>\n
    4. Place the [shopslot_booking]<\/code> shortcode on the page where customers should book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Back up the site before replacing another scheduling system. The Migration Center in this release is read-only and does not modify another plugin's records.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n

      Is ShopSlot Free usable on its own?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. ShopSlot Free includes instant booking with unlimited services, availability rules, buffers, blackout dates, and appointment status history. Pro is optional.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What does ShopSlot Pro add?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Request-and-approve booking for complex jobs, maintained vehicle suggestions, service-specific staff routing, reusable notification templates, and optional customer notifications after staff edits. Pro is a separate add-on, licensed for one active site per year.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How do customers book?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Add the [shopslot_booking]<\/code> shortcode to any page. Customers choose a service and an available time from that form.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I import appointments from another booking plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Not with a self-service button in this release. The Migration Center is read-only. It can inventory a supported source installation without changing that plugin's records.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does ShopSlot handle invoices, parts, or inventory?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. ShopSlot is for scheduling. It does not include invoicing, accounting, or inventory management.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
