AppointPod Appointment Booking Launcher
Add appointment booking to your WordPress site without writing code or rebuilding your website.
AppointPod Appointment Booking Launcher gives your site a polished ”Book Appointment” button that opens your AppointPod booking flow in a modal or a new tab. You can also show a QR code so mobile visitors can scan and book from their phone.
Setup is simple: install the plugin, connect your AppointPod account, choose where the launcher appears, and start appointment booking right away.

External services
This plugin connects to external services only after a site administrator configures the relevant feature.
AppointPod
AppointPod provides the hosted account connection, business lookup, and appointment-booking experience used by this plugin.
When an administrator clicks ”Connect account,” the plugin sends the configured OAuth client ID, client secret, authorization code, callback URL, and related OAuth request data to the configured AppointPod host. After connection, it sends the OAuth access token when retrieving the businesses available to the account. The public booking widget URL includes the selected AppointPod business or site identifier. Information that a visitor enters in the hosted booking flow is submitted directly to the configured AppointPod host and is not stored by this WordPress plugin.
The default host is appointpod.com. If a different AppointPod host is configured, that host’s terms and privacy policy apply.
QR Server API
QR-code display is optional and disabled by default. If an administrator enables it, each page visitor’s browser sends the public AppointPod booking URL to api.qrserver.com so that the service can return a QR-code image. As with a normal web request, QR Server also receives request information such as the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent, referrer, and request time.
Privacy
The plugin stores its connection credentials, OAuth tokens, connected-account details, display configuration, and diagnostic status in the WordPress options table. Uninstalling the plugin deletes its options. WordPress does not store appointment details through this plugin.
