Timeslate Appointments, Bookings and Reservations

Timeslate lets people book a time with you from your own website. You set the days and hours you are open, how long a booking lasts, and how many people you can take at the same time. Timeslate works out which times are still free and shows only those.

It does not care what you are booking. A clinic taking patients, a studio taking classes, a restaurant taking tables and a workshop taking repairs all work the same way: hours, a capacity, and a length of time.

Timeslate is made by Logic Void. The plugin page is at logicvoid.dev/plugins/timeslate.

Features:

• Weekly hours, with more than one period a day. A morning session can take fewer people than an afternoon one.
• Dates you are closed, such as holidays or private events. Bookings are blocked on those days whatever your hours say.
• An availability engine that answers one question: given this date and this many people, which times are still free.
• A booking form you add as a block. It walks the visitor through date, people, time, details and a review before confirming.
• Spam protection built in. A honeypot field and a soft limit of five attempts per ten minutes from one address. No CAPTCHA.
• A bookings list in the admin with date, time, people, status and contact details, sortable and searchable.
• A status for every booking: pending, confirmed, completed, cancelled or no show.
• Approve bookings yourself, or turn on auto approve and let them confirm straight away.
• Email at every step. The customer gets a pending, confirmed or cancelled notice, and you get an alert for each new booking.
• A cancel link in the customer’s email, so they can cancel without an account and free the slot for someone else.
• Nothing is deleted when you uninstall unless you ask for it. The setting is off by default.

Timeslate stores its data in your own database: each booking keeps the name, email address, phone number and notes the customer entered, and the IP address it was sent from. Nothing is sent to a third party service. Bookings are visible to Editors and Administrators.
