TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Appointly is for service businesses like photographers, consultants, event planners, salons, and studios that want to review and personally approve each booking rather than accept automatic reservations. It solves the problem of losing control over pricing and availability by adding a request-review-offer-confirm workflow between customer inquiry and confirmed appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Appointly

No PHP dependencies. The free plugin is fully self-contained and works offline. The admin SPA is bundled with @wordpress/scripts and ships with its own translation files. Google Fonts (Instrument Serif, Plus Jakarta Sans, DM Mono) are loaded on admin pages only for the Appointly brand typography. This is documented in the "External services" section below. No fonts or third-party assets are loaded on customer-facing booking pages.

Yes. Each [appointly_calendar] shortcode creates an independent instance.

Customer selects a date (and optionally a timeslot) and fills out the booking form Customer and admin receive confirmation emails Admin reviews the request in Booking → Bookings and clicks "Send Offer" with a price and personal note Customer receives an offer email with Accept / Decline buttons On acceptance, both parties receive the final confirmation email

Yes. All strings are translatable via the standard WordPress .po/.mo system. German translations are included for de_DE, de_DE_formal, de_AT, de_CH, and de_CH_informal. The admin React bundle also ships per-bundle .json translation files so all admin UI strings render in the selected language. You can override the customer-facing email language independently of the site language under Booking → Settings → General → Email Language.

The free plugin ships ten default HTML email templates that are fully translatable through the standard WordPress translation system. If you need to rewrite the copy beyond translation, you can either override the templates in a child theme via the standard WordPress template loader, or use the live preview template editor in Appointly Pro.

The free plugin does not collect online payments directly. The booking flow supports manual / offline payment arrangements: when you send an offer, you state the price, the customer accepts, and you handle payment out-of-band (invoice, bank transfer, cash on arrival, etc.). Online payment collection via Stripe, using your own Stripe keys, will be available through Appointly Pro in a later release.

Unlike most booking and appointment plugins that push automatic scheduling, Appointly is built around a personal offer workflow. You receive booking requests, review them personally, and send customised offers. This gives service providers full control over their calendar, pricing, and customer communication, perfect for businesses where every reservation deserves a personal touch.

Visit https://appointly.tscholene.com to subscribe. When you subscribe, you receive a download link and a license key via email. You install Appointly Pro as a second plugin (Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin) alongside this free plugin, paste your license key under Appointly → License, and the Pro features activate. The installation takes about two minutes. Appointly Pro is NOT distributed through the WordPress.org Plugin Directory. It is sold directly on appointly.tscholene.com via Lemon Squeezy, which handles EU VAT, subscriptions, failed payments, the customer portal, and refunds. Appointly Pro coexists with this free plugin in one admin menu, no duplicate menu entries, no configuration conflicts, and Pro can be removed independently without affecting any of your booking data.
