Full KennelFlow suite (InstaWP)

Launch KennelFlow on InstaWP — explore boarding, clinic, grooming, owner portal, staff calendar, and sample pets on a pre-configured temporary site. Log in as admin / password (demo owner: demoowner / password).

This plugin only (WordPress Playground)

Try KennelFlow Core in WordPress Playground without installing anything locally. The blueprint installs the plugin from WordPress.org, creates a demo location, two pets, a demo pet owner (demoowner / password), and sets the site homepage to the owner portal with [ltkf_dashboard]. Log in as admin / password to explore KennelFlow Hub in wp-admin.

Preview on WordPress Playground

The same blueprint ships as blueprint.json (repository root) and assets/blueprints/blueprint.json. WordPress.org also serves a copy from plugin SVN for directory live preview integration.

User guide

Full instructions for using KennelFlow Core together with KennelFlow Boarding and KennelFlow Vet (activation order, admin areas, shortcodes, REST overview, Omni-Booking, troubleshooting) are in the repository file docs/PLATFORM_GUIDE.md at the KennelFlow package root.

Staff Permissions matrix

Under Pets → Staff Permissions, users with the manage_options capability can view and edit a grid of KennelFlow-managed capabilities per WordPress role (for example kennelflow_vet_edit_emr, kennelpress_override_roster, groompress_view_commissions). Core WordPress capabilities such as delete_plugins are not exposed in this UI.

REST: GET and PATCH /wp-json/kennelflow/v1/permissions (authenticated; manage_options). PATCH accepts JSON body role, capability, grant (boolean) to add or remove a cap on that role.

Twilio SMS (optional)

Configure under Pets → KennelFlow Settings when you want outbound SMS. KennelFlow can send messages via Twilio’s API for flows such as waitlist “spot opened” notifications and mobile integrations that trigger SMS (see External Services below).

External Services

This plugin does not send your site data to LandTech or third-party servers by default. Optional integrations use WordPress and other plugins on your own site.

• WooCommerce (optional) — When WooCommerce is installed and active, KennelFlow Core can create virtual products, attach booking metadata to orders, apply optional surge pricing and deposit/remaining-balance fees at checkout, and let pet owners pay from the [ltkf_dashboard] portal. No order or customer data is sent to external APIs by KennelFlow Core itself; processing follows WooCommerce and your payment gateway. See WooCommerce terms: https://woocommerce.com/terms-conditions/ and privacy: https://automattic.com/privacy/

• WooCommerce Subscriptions (optional) — The VIP membership discount (KennelFlow Settings) uses subscription status from WooCommerce Subscriptions on your site only (wcs_user_has_subscription); no separate API calls. See: https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/ and WooCommerce privacy as above.

• Outbound webhooks (optional, admin-configured) — Under KennelFlow → Webhooks & API, you may enter HTTPS URLs (for example Zapier or Make) and choose which events to send. KennelFlow Core POSTs JSON to those URLs you provide. Data leaves your site only to destinations you configure; review each provider’s terms and privacy policy (e.g. Zapier: https://zapier.com/legal/ and https://zapier.com/privacy/).

• Twilio SMS (optional) — Under KennelFlow Settings → Twilio SMS, you may enter Account SID, Auth Token, and a From number. When configured, KennelFlow can send SMS via Twilio’s REST API (api.twilio.com) from your WordPress server; credentials and message content are transmitted to Twilio per their service. Terms: https://www.twilio.com/legal/tos — Privacy: https://www.twilio.com/legal/privacy
