Description
Pazienza Booking adds a fully integrated online booking form to your WordPress site, connected to Pazienza — the all-in-one management platform for professionals and small studios.
GitHub: https://github.com/PazienzaApp/pazienza-booking
Your clients can book appointments independently: they choose the service, the operator (optional), the date, and an available time slot — all directly on your website.
Key Features
- Gutenberg Block — Insert the booking form on any page with a single click in the block editor.
- Real-time availability — Time slots are always in sync with the Pazienza calendar. Double bookings are automatically prevented.
- Service and operator selection — Clients can choose the service and, if configured, their preferred operator or resource.
- Custom fields — Add custom questions to the booking form (e.g. “Briefly describe your issue”).
- Automatic confirmation email — The client receives an email with a booking summary and, optionally, a cancellation link.
- Online cancellation — Enable a time-limited cancellation link so clients can cancel within the window you configure.
- My Account integration — If WooCommerce is active, logged-in customers find their bookings (upcoming and past) in the “My Account” area.
- No-code setup — Fully visual configuration, no theme modifications required.
Requirements
- Active Pazienza account (plans & pricing)
- Pazienza Core plugin active
- WordPress 6.5 or later, PHP 8.1 or later

FAQ
-
Do I need a Pazienza account to use this plugin?
-
Yes. The plugin connects to the Pazienza platform via API. Without an active account, the form will not display any services or time slots.
-
Can I customise the appearance of the form?
-
The form inherits your theme’s base colours. You can add custom CSS via the theme customiser. The HTML structure follows Gutenberg block conventions.
-
Is it compatible with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. When WooCommerce is active, a “My Bookings” tab is automatically added to the customer’s “My Account” area, showing upcoming and past bookings with the option to cancel eligible ones.
-
Can I have multiple forms with different configurations on the same page?
-
Yes. You can insert multiple “Pazienza Booking” blocks and configure each independently: default service, default resource, and display mode (with or without operator selection).
-
Does the plugin work with page builders (Elementor, Divi, etc.)?
-
The block is built as a native Gutenberg block. It works out of the box in page builders with Gutenberg block support. For page builders that do not support Gutenberg blocks, a shortcode (
[pazienza_booking]) is planned for a future release. -
How does the online cancellation link work?
-
When you enable the option in settings, the confirmation email includes a unique link with a configurable expiry (hours before the appointment). When the client clicks the link, the booking is removed from Pazienza.
