Name: The Readscope Tour and Accommodation Booking
Author: The Readscope

The Readscope Tour and Accommodation Booking is an all-in-one, modern travel management and booking plugin designed for tour operators, travel agencies, boutique hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals.

Unlike traditional heavy booking plugins, The Readscope Tour and Accommodation Booking is built with a Zero-jQuery lightweight reactive frontend, modern PSR-4 architecture, and relational database schema designed to handle high-traffic bookings without slowing down your website.

🌟 Key Features

Dual Engine in One Plugin: Seamlessly manage Tour Packages (Single-day, Multi-day, Hourly, Fixed departure) and Hotels/Accommodations units in the same system.
Smart Inventory & Anti-Double-Booking: Built-in concurrency-safe capacity engine with database transactions and row-level locking.
Interactive Frontend Booking Panel: Real-time price breakdown, date range selector, and guest (+ / -) counters with instant calculations.
Day-by-Day Itinerary Builder: Dynamic repeater for structuring multi-day trip itineraries with included meals and activity highlights.
Inclusions & Exclusions Manager: Visual checklist of included and excluded items for each tour.
Hotel & Room Hierarchy: Link multiple room units to parent hotels with individual pricing, bed configurations, and capacity limits.
Direct Offline Checkout: Allow travelers to book instantly with cash on delivery, bank transfer, or custom payment instructions.
Automated Email Notifications: Professional responsive HTML booking confirmations sent to both customers and administrators.
Gutenberg & Elementor Integration: Server-rendered Gutenberg Core Blocks and dedicated Elementor Widgets for Tour Grids, Hotel Grids, Search Bars, and Booking Panels.
Theme Developer Friendly: Override any single tour, single hotel, or booking panel template in your theme’s /tourivo/ directory.

🏠 Optional Travel Homepage

Readscope Booking never changes your homepage, footer or menus on its own. If you want a ready-made travel storefront, turn on Travel Homepage Layout in the Setup Wizard or under Readscope Booking -> Settings: it adds the search bar, destinations, open tours and hotels to the homepage and fills empty theme placeholder menus with booking links.

🚀 Readscope Booking Pro (Separate Paid Add-on)

Everything above is free and fully functional. Readscope Booking Pro is a separate plugin that adds:
* WooCommerce Payment Bridge: Take payment through any WooCommerce payment gateway; the booking is confirmed when the order is paid.
* Paid Extras & Add-ons: Sell extras such as airport transfers or extra beds, priced per booking, per night, per person or per person per night.
* Child & Infant Rates, Group and Seasonal Pricing: Separate traveler rates, group discounts and seasonal or weekend price rules.
* Promo Codes & Custom Checkout Fields: Coupons with usage limits and expiry, plus extra fields on the booking form.
* PDF Invoices, Tickets & QR Check-in: Downloadable PDF documents with a QR code staff can scan to check guests in.
* iCal Room Sync: Import and export room calendars with Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and Google Calendar.
* Customer Dashboard: A traveler portal for trips, tickets and cancellation requests.

External Services

Readscope Booking contains an optional Outbound Webhook Integration feature that connects to user-configured external endpoints (e.g. Zapier, Make.com, n8n, custom CRMs, Slack).

What data is sent: Traveler full name, email address, phone number, booked tour or room item details (title, dates, guest counts), booking reference code, payment status, financial totals, and inquiry message content.
Where data is sent: Exclusively to the HTTPS endpoint URL configured by the site administrator in Readscope Booking Settings.
When data is sent: Automatically when a new booking is created (booking.created), when a booking status changes (booking.status_changed), or when a traveler inquiry is submitted (inquiry.created), as well as manually when clicking “Send Test Ping Payload” in settings.
Privacy & Control: This service is completely optional and disabled by default. No data is transmitted to external endpoints unless a webhook URL is explicitly configured and enabled in plugin settings.
Local & Intranet Webhook Endpoints: Readscope Booking uses wp_safe_remote_post() which protects against SSRF attacks by blocking local IP ranges. If you are developing locally or testing with a local n8n/webhook server (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:5678), allow local requests via WordPress’s native filter:
add_filter(‘http_request_host_is_external’, function($is_external, $host) { return $host === ‘localhost’ || $host === ‘127.0.0.1’ ? true : $is_external; }, 10, 2);

Privacy & GDPR Compliance

Readscope Booking is engineered from the ground up for strict privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, and statutory accounting rules):

User Consent (Opt-in): Optional explicit consent checkboxes on frontend booking panels and inquiry forms with automated versioning (SHA-256 hash) and timestamp audit tracking (consent_at, consent_version).
WordPress Privacy Tools Integration:
- Personal Data Exporter: Integrated with WordPress Core Export Personal Data tool with 50-item batched pagination for customer bookings and inquiries.
- Personal Data Eraser: Integrated with WordPress Core Erase Personal Data tool. Anonymizes customer identifiers (customer_name, customer_email, customer_phone, billing_address, customer_notes, ip_address) while legally retaining financial transaction lines for statutory tax accounting obligations. Deletes inquiries and traveler wishlist metadata.
Data Minimization & IP Collection Control: Configurable store_ip setting allowing operators to disable IP address storage entirely. Endpoint rate limits continue to operate using temporary, hashed transients without persisting raw IP addresses.
Scheduled Data Retention: A daily job (tourivo_daily_privacy_retention, off until you set a period) anonymizes bookings a set number of days after the trip has ended, and deletes inquiries older than a set number of months. You choose which booking statuses are anonymized (completed and cancelled by default; pending, on hold and confirmed can be added) under Readscope Booking -> Settings. Each run handles at most 200 bookings and 200 inquiries.
