MyBookaro

توسط mybookaro

Free WordPress appointment booking and scheduling plugin with multi-provider dashboards. Works on single-business sites, MyListing directories, Listeo, Listdom, ListingPro, and any custom directory CPT.

MyBookaro is a provider-based booking engine for WordPress. It is strongest on MyListing Directory sites, fully supports a real Single Business no-listing path, and also supports guided Generic Directory setups where you intentionally control provider mapping, services, and placement.
Lite covers booking requests, availability, dashboards, reminders, and diagnostics. Pro adds WooCommerce payments, Google Calendar + iCal sync, booking chat, SMS/webhooks, reports, and exports.
Generic Directory is a guided lane and requires intentional mapping/services/placement decisions; it is not a universal automatic adapter for every theme.
Booking chat is Pro only: MyListing Directory uses native MyListing messaging, while Generic Directory and Single Business use MyBookaro booking chat with an active, valid Pro license.

MyBookaro is an independent plugin compatible with MyListing and is not affiliated with or endorsed by 27collective.

MyListing, Listeo, Listdom, ListingPro, and WooCommerce are trademarks of their respective owners. MyBookaro is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them; their names are used only to describe compatibility.

Getting started

Run MyBookaro > Setup Wizard.
Choose your lane first: MyListing Directory, Single Business, or guided Generic Directory.
MyListing Directory: keep Integration Mode on Auto-detect/MyListing Directory, confirm sidebar booking entry, and set the repeater class.
Single Business: no listings required. Set Default Provider, assign booking/services/dashboard pages, place booking UI on normal pages, then test one booking.
Generic Directory (guided): choose provider mapping + services model, assign pages, place booking UI, then run lane diagnostics before launch.
In MyBookaro > Settings > Email, enable reminder and review invite emails if you want automated follow-ups.
Complete the lane-aware checklist in MyBookaro > Getting Started.
Review the operational summary in MyBookaro > Getting Started so you can see current safeguards and launch defaults before go-live.
Before opening support requests, review the operational summary first, then run MyBookaro > System Status, copy the masked support snapshot, and attach the Support Bundle JSON only when deeper diagnostics are needed.

Official product lanes

MyBookaro officially supports these lanes:

MyListing Directory (strongest lane): fastest launch and lowest support risk.
Single Business (real no-listing lane): provider-first booking for service businesses on normal pages.
Generic Directory (supported guided lane): flexible for custom directory setups with intentional mapping/services/placement decisions.
MyListing Directory | Provider mapping: Listing owner/provider from MyListing listing context | Services model: MyListing repeater services | Placement model: Directory listing template (sidebar booking entry) or shortcode/block placement | Dashboards/pages needed: Provider and customer dashboards (or WooCommerce My Account mode).
Single Business | Provider mapping: Default Provider (provider-first, no listing requirement) | Services model: Provider Only by default (Admin Only/Hybrid optional) | Placement model: Normal pages or shortcode/block placement | Dashboards/pages needed: Booking page, services page, provider dashboard page, and customer dashboard page.
Generic Directory | Provider mapping: Listing Author or Listing Meta Key | Services model: Provider Only, Admin Catalog Only, or Hybrid | Placement model: Directory templates, normal pages, shortcode/block only, or CSS selector insertion | Dashboards/pages needed: Booking page and dashboard pages when using shortcode dashboard mode.

Generic Directory presets

For Generic Directory lanes, Setup Wizard includes guided presets:
* Provider-Owned Directory (Listing Author + Provider Only)
* Editorial + Meta Key Directory (Meta Key + Provider Only)
* Shared Catalog Directory (Listing Author + Admin Catalog Only)
* Legacy installs may still run as Generic Directory (legacy compatibility profile active). This stays inside the Generic Directory lane and is not a separate site type.

MyListing repeater setup

To read services from MyListing repeater rows, set Row CSS Class to mybookaro_services in MyListing > Listing Type > Repeater. You can change the class/prefix in MyBookaro > Settings > General.

Data and privacy

MyBookaro stores booking and availability data in your WordPress database so booking workflows can run.

Data types include:
* Booking records (listing, provider, customer, dates, status, notes)
* Provider availability rules, timeslots, and exceptions
* Notification logs for delivery diagnostics

By default, uninstall keeps data. To remove all plugin data, enable “Delete all MyBookaro data on uninstall” before uninstalling.

Source code

The compiled JavaScript bundles in mybookaro/dist/*.js are produced from the Vue.js source files shipped in mybookaro/assets/*.vue and mybookaro/assets/components/**/*.vue. To rebuild from source: install Node.js + npm, run npm install inside the plugin directory, then npm run build:lite. Build configuration is in the vite.*.config.js files in the plugin root.

Upload the mybookaro folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate the plugin in WordPress Plugins.
If you choose the MyListing Directory lane, ensure MyListing is active.
Configure settings in MyBookaro > Settings.

سوالات متداول

Which lane should I choose: MyListing Directory, Single Business, or Generic Directory?

Choose MyListing Directory for MyListing-powered sites, Single Business for service sites that do not need listing context, and guided Generic Directory for CPT/custom directory setups where you control mapping and placement.

Does Single Business require listings?

No. Single Business is provider-first, requires no listings, and can run with a Default Provider on normal pages.

Does Generic Directory work automatically with any theme?

No. Generic Directory is a supported guided lane, not a universal turnkey adapter for every theme.

Why is Generic Directory called guided?

Because it supports real custom directory setups, but you are expected to choose provider mapping, services source, and placement intentionally.

What happens when my Pro license expires?

Lite keeps working normally. Pro premium modules stop booting until the license is valid again, and Pro updates are blocked.

Is Google Calendar or iCal included in Lite?

No. Google Calendar sync and iCal are Pro-only and iCal is not shown in Lite dashboards/tabs.

How does booking chat work in each lane?

Booking chat is Pro-only. MyListing Directory uses native MyListing messaging; Generic Directory and Single Business use MyBookaro booking chat when Pro is active with a valid license.

Do I need WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is optional in Lite and only needed for WooCommerce checkout / My Account-based Pro flows.

Are deposits partial checkout charges or payout-split settings?

Current WooCommerce checkout flows charge the full booking amount. Deposit-style options in current releases are payout-split settings (website share/provider share), not partial checkout charges.

What should I check before opening support?

Start in MyBookaro > Getting Started for the lane checklist and operational summary. Then run MyBookaro > System Status. Share the masked support snapshot and attach the Support Bundle JSON (or text report + JSON export). This helps support prioritize blockers quickly.

Is MyBookaro affiliated with MyListing?

No. MyBookaro is an independent plugin compatible with MyListing.

Is MyBookaro an official MyListing plugin?

No. MyBookaro is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by 27collective.

What does “Compatible with MyListing” mean?

It means MyBookaro integrates with MyListing-powered sites. Compatibility does not imply affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship.

Does MyBookaro require MyListing?

No. Choose the lane that matches your site: MyListing Directory, Single Business, or guided Generic Directory.

How do I launch Single Business without listings?

No listings are required. Set a Default Provider, assign booking/services/dashboard pages, place booking UI on normal pages, then run one end-to-end booking test and review System Status.

What happens if MyBookaro Pro is installed but the license is inactive?

Lite continues working normally; premium Pro modules stay disabled until the license is valid.

Does Lite connect to an external license server?

No. Lite has no licensing checks and no premium update checks.

How do reminder and review invite emails work?

Enable them in MyBookaro > Settings > Email. Reminders are queued on approved bookings (24h and 1h before start), and review invites are queued after bookings are completed.

Are public endpoints rate-limited?

Yes. Public endpoints use throttling and return HTTP 429 with Retry-After when limits are exceeded.

Does MyBookaro send data to third parties?

Not by default. External requests happen only when you enable optional integrations on your site.

How do I delete personal data?

Use WordPress Tools > Export/Erase Personal Data, or enable “Delete all MyBookaro data on uninstall” before uninstalling.

Does MyBookaro work on WordPress Multisite?

Yes — activate it per-site. On a network, activate MyBookaro individually on each site that needs it rather than using “Network Activate”; each site then gets its own booking tables and settings. Network-wide activation is not supported.
