Optional premium add-on

An optional, separately-distributed premium add-on is available from the author’s website at luminaith.com/vibereserve-booking. The premium add-on adds features that this free plugin does not include (such as online payment gateways, WhatsApp notifications, Google Calendar sync, automated email reminders, blocked dates, customer self-service portal, reviews, revenue reports, iCal export and REST API access).

The premium add-on is not required. The free plugin is complete and has no time limits, usage limits, or feature locks.

External services

This plugin does not connect to any external service by default. All bookings, services, staff and schedules are stored locally in your WordPress database. Emails are sent through your own WordPress site using wp_mail().

The plugin also does not load any JavaScript or CSS from remote CDNs — Chart.js, FullCalendar and Cropper.js are bundled with the plugin and served from your own site.
