Studio Booking Manager

Open source booking and operations management for studios, coworking spaces, creative hubs, libraries, and shared spaces.

Description

Studio Booking Manager helps shared spaces manage people, access, visits, locations, memberships, and operations from WordPress.

This release tightens release packaging so development files are excluded from installable plugin ZIPs.

External Services

Studio Booking Manager can optionally sync bookings to Google Calendar when a site administrator enables Google Calendar sync and saves service account credentials in the plugin settings.

When enabled, the plugin sends booking event details such as title, start time, end time, status, and related notes to the configured Google Calendar through Google's Calendar API. No Google Calendar requests are made unless sync is enabled and configured.

Google service terms and privacy information are available at https://policies.google.com/terms and https://policies.google.com/privacy.
