Booking Plugin User Guide

Welcome! This guide explains how to manage your photobooth settings, availability, and bookings.

1. How to Add/Edit a Photobooth

This is the main control center for your booking system. Each "Photobooth" has its own logo, colors, services, and availability.

  • Where to find it: Sojourn Bookings → Photobooths

Step 1: Add a New Photobooth

Go to Photobooths"Add New". Give it a title (e.g., "The Classic Booth") and click "Publish". You can now edit its settings.

Step 2: Set Logo & Colors

In the "Design Settings" box, you can set the unique style for this booth:

  • Logo: Upload your logo. It will appear at the top of the form.
  • Brand Text Color: Sets the color for text and borders.
  • Brand Accent Background: Sets the color for the header and quote box.
  • Main Background Color: Sets the color for the main form panel (where the inputs are).

Step 3: Add Services

In the "Services" box, you must add at least one service for this booth to be bookable.

  • Click the "Add Another Service" button.
  • Enter the service name (e.g., "The Editorial Package (3 Hours)") and the price.
  • Click "Remove" to delete a service.

Step 4: Set Availability

In the "Availability (Per-Day Time Slots)" box, you set the specific times you are available. The calendar will only show dates that have slots added.

  1. Click any date on the calendar to edit it.
  2. Use the "Time Slot Generator":
    • Set a Start Time (e.g., 09:00) and End Time (e.g., 17:00).
    • Set the Duration (e.g., 120 for 2 hours) and Buffer (e.g., 60 for 1 hour of travel/setup).
    • Click "Generate Slots". The box below will fill up (e.g., 09:00, 12:00, 15:00).
  3. You can also type slots manually in the "Manual Time Slots" box.
  4. Click "Save Slots for this Day".
  5. The date will now be highlighted on the calendar, meaning it is bookable.
IMPORTANT: After making any changes to a photobooth, you MUST click the main blue "Update" button (at the top-right of the page) to save everything.

2. How to Add/Edit Add-ons

These are the optional extras customers can add to any booking (e.g., "Extra Hour", "Custom Backdrop").

  • Where to find it: Sojourn Bookings → Add-ons
  • Go to "Add New".
  • The "Title" is the name of the add-on (e.g., "Printed Photo Album").
  • Use the "Add-on Price" box to set the price.
  • Click "Publish". This add-on will now appear on all booking forms.

3. How to View Your Bookings

This is where all completed bookings are stored.

  • Where to find it: Sojourn Bookings → All Bookings
  • A new row will appear for every booking. You can see the customer's name, the date, and the total.
  • Click on any booking to see the full, formatted "Booking Details", including all add-ons and customer info.

4. How to Manage Global Settings

These settings control the entire plugin, not just one photobooth.

  • Where to find it: Sojourn Bookings → Global Settings
