⚙️ How it works
The public booking widget is embedded on your site through the [apboca_calendar] shortcode and is connected to your WordPress site via an Embed Token (API Key). All booking data is stored on the Dynamic Reservation backend. The WordPress admin screens do not embed any external page: the dashboard, the settings and the live calendar preview are rendered by the plugin itself and talk to the backend through server-side REST API requests only.
🔌 External services
This plugin is a client for the hosted booking service Dynamic Reservation. Reservations, blocked times and calendar settings are not stored in your WordPress database; they live on the Dynamic Reservation backend and are read and written through its REST API. Without an account and an Embed Token the plugin only offers a local demo mode.
Which service is used
- Service: Dynamic Reservation, operated by the plugin author
- Base URL: https://dynamicreservation.com
- API documentation & your API key: dynamicreservation.com/admin/api (after logging in)
Which API routes the plugin calls
All calls to the REST API are made server-side from PHP ( wp_remote_* ) and – except for login and password reset – authenticated with your Embed Token. The plugin only calls routes from a fixed allow-list:
- /api/v1/reservations – list, create, confirm / reject (update) and remove bookings (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE)
- /api/v1/blocked-times – list, create, update and delete blocked time slots, including recurring series (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE)
- /api/v1/calendar-settings – read and save opening hours, slot length and blocked weekdays (GET, POST)
- /api/v1/design – read and save colors, title, description and default view of the booking calendar (GET, POST)
- /api/v1/billing, /api/v1/checkout, /api/v1/cancel, /api/v1/verify-session – show and manage your Dynamic Reservation subscription. Paid plans are checked out on a payment page of Stripe ( privacy policy ); the plugin never receives or stores card data.
- /api/v1/admin/customers, /api/v1/customer-magic-link – list your customers and create or send their personal booking link (“Send Booking Link”)
- /api/v1/contact – the optional support contact form in the plugin settings
- /api/wp-auth, /api/forgot-password – log in / register to connect your site, and reset your password
com/embed/calendar in a frame on the pages where you place the [apboca_calendar] shortcode.
What is sent and when
- Data sent: your Embed Token (API key), booking data (date, time and the contact details a visitor enters into the booking form), block-time entries, calendar and design settings, and – only when you use them – your login e-mail / password (together with your site’s URL, so the connected site is shown in your account) or a support message
- When: when a visitor opens the booking widget or submits a booking, when an admin opens the plugin dashboard or settings, when a booking is confirmed / rejected / removed, when a block is created / deleted, and when settings are saved
- Not sent: no data is sent before you connect the site; the demo mode works completely locally in your browser
