Key Features

• Custom Product Type: Seamlessly creates a new ‘SlotNova Booking’ WooCommerce product type.

• Whole Day & Time-Slot Bookings: Support both time-slot based bookings (e.g., 2-hour slots) and full-day bookings when time slots are disabled on the product level.

• Fully Booked Dates & “Already Booked” Tooltips: Automatically disables booked calendar dates with strikethrough styling and a sleek hover tooltip (“Already Booked”).

• Dynamic Time Slot Generator: Computes precise time slot start times dynamically between custom Opening Time and Closing Time based on Slot Duration (e.g., 10:00 AM to 04:00 PM with 120-minute slots).

• Interactive Quick Status Change: Change booking order status directly from the All Bookings Management table via AJAX dropdown badges.

• Product Title Column: Displays product titles across both the All Bookings Management table and WooCommerce Admin Orders table.

• Staff-Based Time Slot Availability: Each booking is assigned to a specific staff member. If a slot is booked for that staff member, it automatically becomes visually disabled for that staff member while remaining available for others.

• Custom Staff & Service Labels: Support frontend custom labels (e.g., “Photographer”, “Doctor”) while keeping core taxonomy terms intact in administrative areas.

• Inline Calendar & Real-Time Availability: Customers select dates and available time slots update dynamically via AJAX.

• Instant Double-Booking Prevention: Strict server-side and client-side validation prevents double-booking the same staff member or service at the same time.

• Automatic Slot Release: Trashing, cancelling, refunding, or failing an order automatically re-enables its booked slot instantly.

• Partial Deposits & Flexible Payments (Pro Addon): Offer deposit options (percentage or fixed amount) with a seamless Payment Option switcher on single product pages, cart totals, and checkout order tables.

• Dynamic Cart & Checkout Totals: Clean “Due at Appointment” balance breakdown for deposit orders without confusing discount/negative fee lines.

• Modular Extension Manager: Built-in extension architecture supporting pro add-ons, license key management, and automated update delivery.

• Flexible Operating Hours & Off-Days: Set global or product-level business opening/closing hours, slot durations, and weekly/specific off-days.

• Timezone Precision: Built-in UTC timestamp calculation eliminates timezone offset shifts across international users.

• Developer-Friendly API: Exposes global accessor slotnova_booking() and extensive action/filter hooks for third-party add-on development.
