General Settings

General Settings is where you configure the core behavior of the plugin. Everything here applies to all your services by default, unless you override it in the settings of a specific service. This includes the cart, calendar behavior, booking form options, and other general functions.

Cart

Enable cart turns on the shopping cart feature, which lets customers add multiple services to a single order and pay for everything at once.

Disable online payment turns off the ability to pay online for all cart bookings. Useful if you want to accept payments manually or in person.

Calendar

Real-time calendar updates keeps the calendar in sync in the background. If someone books a time slot while another customer is choosing, that slot will automatically become unavailable without needing to reload the page.

Update interval sets how often the calendar checks for new bookings, in seconds. The default is 10 seconds. Keep in mind that lower values mean more frequent server requests, which can increase server load.

Maximum available period for booking lets you limit how far into the future customers can book. For example, set 180 to allow bookings up to six months ahead. Leave the field empty to allow bookings with no time limit.

Ajax loading of the calendar loads the calendar in the background after the page appears, so visitors see the page content right away without waiting. Note that when loaded this way, the calendar will not be picked up by search engines, so avoid enabling this if SEO matters for that page.

Booking Form

Show additional services for all booking services displays the additional services from all your listings in the booking form, regardless of which service the customer selected. Useful when your extra services are shared across multiple locations or service types.

Rules page lets you select a page with your terms or booking rules. A link to that page will appear in the booking form along with a checkbox that the customer must agree to before completing a booking.

Disable the form for guests only hides the booking form from non-logged-in visitors. Logged-in customers and administrators will still see it. Useful if you want to require registration before booking.

Register users during booking automatically creates a user account based on the information the customer fills in during booking. The booking is linked to their account. This lets you build a customer database, track booking history, and run loyalty programs. Use the shortcode baza_booking_calendar_auth to add a login or registration widget to any page, and baza_booking_calendar_dashboard to show the customer their booking history.
