Schedopia is a complete appointment booking and scheduling plugin for WordPress.<\/strong> Add an online booking form to your site in minutes and let customers reserve a service with the right staff member at a time that actually works \u2014 automatically, around the clock, without the back-and-forth of phone calls and emails.<\/p>\n\n Whether you run a salon, a clinic, a tutoring service, or a consulting practice, Schedopia turns your website into a booking engine. Every appointment is a real, dated record, and a built-in guard means two customers can never grab the same slot \u2014 so you stop worrying about double-bookings and no-shows.<\/p>\n\n Best of all, Schedopia is fully self-hosted<\/strong>. Your bookings, your customers, and your data stay on your own site. Nothing loads from third-party services unless you turn on optional reCAPTCHA spam protection yourself, and there are no per-booking fees.<\/p>\n\n Why choose Schedopia?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Key Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Perfect for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Salons and barbershops, spas and beauty studios, dentists and health clinics, therapists and coaches, tutors and instructors, consultants and freelancers, repair and home services \u2014 any business that runs on appointments.<\/p>\n\n For developers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Schedopia is built to extend without forking. It ships a full REST API for every entity with schema-driven validation, granular per-area capabilities, and rate limiting on the public API. Extensions build on documented lifecycle hooks, filters, and driver interfaces ( Schedopia loads nothing from third-party services by default. One optional feature connects to an external service when you explicitly enable it:<\/p>\n\n Google reCAPTCHA v3<\/strong> (optional spam protection for the public booking form). Only when you enable reCAPTCHA in Settings \u2192 Booking rules<\/em> and<\/strong> provide your own site and secret keys, the booking form loads Google's reCAPTCHA script, and each form submission sends the reCAPTCHA response token and the visitor's IP address to Google's Automatic installation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Manual installation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n After activation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Yes.

The Not unless you ask it to. Out of the box Schedopia contacts no external service and loads nothing from third-party CDNs \u2014 your business data stays on your own site. There is one opt-in exception: if you switch on reCAPTCHA spam protection and supply your own keys, the booking form then loads Google's script and checks submissions with Google (see the External Services section below). The only other third-party links anywhere are the optional \"add to calendar\" buttons in customer emails, which are ordinary links your customer may choose to click to save their appointment in Google or Outlook.<\/p><\/dd>\n Custom tables ( Through documented lifecycle hooks, filters, and driver interfaces ( Uninstall preserves your business data by default.
