WordPress plugin overview

Back to top

Checkfront has created a WordPress plugin that lets you generate a shortcode, paste it into your webpage, and publish a booking portal for your Customers to reserve your products.

Once configured, the plugin handles the complicated code to display the portal. All you need to do is add the shortcode to your page, and we take care of the rest.

You can add to the shortcode to alter how the booking portal appears or behaves. This guide shows you how to do that.
