This booking plugin is designed as an integration for Trafft SaaS, aiming to assist WordPress users in seamlessly incorporating the Trafft SaaS booking form and availability calendar onto their WordPress pages.

HOW TRAFFT’S BOOKING SYSTEM WORKS WITH WORDPRESS

Through seamless integration with WordPress, Trafft grants you the capability to effortlessly incorporate the booking form into any WordPress site with minimal effort. To facilitate this, you need an existing Trafft account, and you can easily link it with Trafft’s dedicated WordPress booking plugin. With this setup in place, you’ll be able to convert more website visitors into loyal customers.

Being an integration for Trafft SaaS, this booking plugin involves specific calls to external servers that store your account data:

  • CSS files for loading visual styles,
  • JS files for all frontend logic.

Data and layout are retrieved from your Trafft account. All resources are loaded from Trafft and its subdomains. For instance, if your Trafft account URL is myaccount.trafft.com, the loading occurs from this link. In case you wish to find out more you can refer to our terms of service and the privacy policy.

LINKING THE ACCOUNT AND ADDING THE BOOKING FORM

  1. Within the WordPress dashboard, locate the Trafft icon in the left sidebar and click on it.
  2. Enter the name added in the “Your Booking domain” option during the sign-up process on Trafft SaaS. Typically, this is your business name, and we automatically fill the “Your Booking domain” field during sign-up based on the business name you entered. If you don’t recall it or have changed the name in this field, simply go to the admin dashboard area of Trafft SaaS and copy and paste the relevant part of the URL.
  3. Click “Save” to link the Trafft Saas account with the Trafft booking plugin and load data.
  4. Within the WordPress dashboard, navigate to “Pages” and select the specific page where you wish to incorporate the booking form.
  5. If you’re utilizing a supported page builder, search for “Trafft” in the Search bar, then either click on the Trafft icon or simply drag and drop it to the desired section
  6. You will notice a new option in the sidebar: “Preselect Booking Parameters.” This feature assists you in choosing a particular employee, service, category, and/or location, allowing you to display specific availability on your page.
  7. Once you’ve done, save your changes and the booking form will seamlessly appear within the chosen area of your website.

የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች

How to locate the name that needs to be entered in the “Trafft account URL” field?

This is the name that you’ve entered as your booking domain during the Sign Up process on Trafft. Typically, it is your business name, and we automatically filled the “Your Booking domain” field based on the Business name you entered. However, if you’ve changed it afterward, the name entered for the Booking domain is what you need. By entering and saving this name, we can load resources from your account, enabling you to use the Trafft Booking form on your WordPress website.

Please note: If you’ve used our Custom Domain option, simply enter the segment of the URL displayed when accessing the Trafft SaaS admin dashboard.

I’ve inserted the booking form, but I’m missing specific services, locations, or employees. What could be the issue?

There can be several reasons for this:
1. If certain service is missing first check if you have selected “This is a private service” option, since in that case the service will not be available for booking on the booking form;
2. Please check whether all employees are assigned to the services;
3. Check if the working hours are correctly set and all services fit the working periods;
4. Check if the services and locations are added to the working hours, and
5. Check if all employees, services and locations are Enabled.

Which page Builders are supported?

Currently, we offer integrations with Gutenberg and Elementor. However, additional integrations are on our roadmap.

This system is excellent; I’ve been using it for myself and my clients for a while now. It probably has the best balance between features and cost in its category. I’m glad to see it natively integrated into WordPress.
