Slotwise – Multi-Purpose Booking & Appointment Plugin

Description

SlotWise by Mytsys Software Solutions is a full-featured appointment booking plugin that auto-configures itself for your industry. Choose from 12 business categories (music studio, medical clinic, hair salon, beauty, car wash, fitness, dental, tutoring, massage, pet grooming, photography, cleaning) and the plugin pre-loads appropriate services, staff, time slots, and form fields — ready in minutes.

It adds a beautiful, mobile-responsive booking form and packages grid to any page via shortcode, with a complete admin dashboard to manage bookings, staff, services, packages, discount codes, and payments.

Privacy

Customer data (name, email, phone, booking details) is stored in custom database tables on your WordPress installation. No data is sent to third parties except as required to process payments — see the External Services section below for full details.

No data is collected or sent to Mytsys Software Solutions.

External Services

This plugin connects to the following third-party services to process payments. These services are only contacted when a customer submits a booking with the corresponding payment method selected. You must enable each payment method explicitly in Settings — none are active by default.

Stripe

Used for card payments and Stripe-powered payment processing.

What is sent: When a customer submits a booking using card or Stripe payment, the customer’s card details are tokenised entirely in their browser by the Stripe.js library (loaded from https://js.stripe.com/v3/) and a secure payment token is sent to your Stripe account via the Stripe API (https://api.stripe.com). Raw card numbers never pass through your server. The customer’s name and booking amount are also sent to Stripe to complete the charge.

When it is sent: Only when a customer completes a booking using Card or Stripe payment methods.

PayPal

Used for PayPal Standard payment processing.

What is sent: When a customer selects PayPal as their payment method, they are redirected to PayPal’s website where they complete payment. The booking amount, your PayPal email address, and a booking reference are passed to PayPal. PayPal then sends an Instant Payment Notification (IPN) callback to your site to confirm payment.

When it is sent: Only when a customer clicks to pay via PayPal at checkout.

Cash App

Used for Cash App Pay payment processing (US market only).

What is sent: When a customer selects Cash App as their payment method, they are directed to send payment to your configured $Cashtag. The booking amount and reference are displayed to the customer. No customer data is automatically sent to Cash App’s servers by this plugin — the customer initiates the transfer themselves through their Cash App account.

When it is sent: Only when a customer selects Cash App as their payment method.
