About this plugin
4WP Booking lets visitors pick a service, a date, a time, and submit their details. Requests go through WordPress. Provider API keys and bot tokens stay on the server.
dev. 4WP is our project brand; the letters “WP” appear only as part of that brand name, not as a reference to WordPress. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by WordPress or by ClinicCards / Cliniccards Corp.
How it works

Privacy
Guest name, phone, email, and optional comment are sent to the selected provider only when the visitor submits the booking form.
