QuickCut does one thing well: let your customers book a time, fast, from any device— and keep your calendar tidy. **[Try the live demo](https://quickcut-booking.duckdns.org/)** — a working barbershop running this plugin, nothing installed and no sign-up. Book an appointment and see exactly what your customers would see, including the confirmation email. **Why shop owners pick QuickCut** * **5-minute setup.** Sensible defaults out of the box — add a service, add yourself, paste one shortcode. * **Fast & lightweight.** Loads only on the page with the booking form. No jQuery, no bloat. * **Mobile-first booking.** A clean 3-step form your clients can finish in seconds on a phone. * **GDPR-friendly.** No external Google Fonts, no third-party CDNs — everything is self-hosted. * **Multiple staff & services.** Let clients pick a specific barber or “anyone”. * **Multiple locations.** Run several shops, each with its own address, contact details and opening hours. * **Email confirmations.** Automatic confirmation to the customer, plus an alert to you and the assigned staff member. * **One-click cancel & reschedule.** Customers get secure links in their confirmation email; no phone tag. * **Phone & walk-in bookings.** Add a booking yourself from the admin — same conflict- safe engine as the online form. **Free forever core** The free plugin is fully functional — services, staff, multiple locations, availability, bookings, email, opening hours and an admin dashboard. **QuickCut Pro** _(optional upgrade)_ * 💳 Card **deposits** with Stripe to stop no-shows * 📲 **SMS reminders** * 📅 **Google Calendar** two-way sync * ⏰ **Per-staff working hours**, days off and breaks * 📈 **Revenue reports** ## Screenshots [⌊The 3-step front-end booking form.⌉⌊The 3-step front-end booking form.⌉[ The 3-step front-end booking form.

Upload the `quickcut-booking` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install through the Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to **Booking Services** and **Booking Staff** to add yours (a demo service and staff member are created for you). 4. Set your opening hours in **Booking Locations**. 5. Create a page and add the shortcode `[quickcut_booking]`. ## FAQ ### Can I see it working before installing? Yes — there’s a live demo at https://quickcut-booking.duckdns.org/. It’s a real WordPress site running this plugin with no customisation, so what you see is what you get. Book whatever you like: the demo never sends email (confirmations appear on the page instead) and it wipes every booking at the top of each hour. ### Does it work without a page builder? Yes. Add the `[quickcut_booking]` shortcode to any page or post. ### Can customers pick a specific barber? Yes — if you add more than one staff member, customers can choose a person or “Anyone”. ### Is my data sent anywhere? No. All fonts and assets are self-hosted and bookings stay in your own database. ### Can I take payment? Deposits and full payment via Stripe are part of QuickCut Pro. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “QuickCut Booking” is open source software.

Choosing “Anyone” was never affected. The booking form now shows only the staff who perform the selected service, and the server rejects the pairing regardless of what is submitted. Shops where everyone does everything are unaffected. #### 1.4.0 * New: once QuickCut has taken five bookings for you, it asks — once — whether you’d leave a review on WordPress.org. It only ever appears on QuickCut’s own admin pages, and dismissing it is permanent. * New: the first time you mark a booking as a no-show, QuickCut mentions that Pro can take a card deposit up front. Also shown once, also dismissible for good, and never on the same screen as the review request. * Fixed: the customer reschedule page loaded its stylesheet with a hand-written tag rather than through WordPress’ own style queue. #### 1.3.0 * New: Admins can add a booking directly from Booking Bookings (phone/walk-in)— the same conflict-safe engine as the public form, without the advance-notice wait a walk-in customer can’t wait through. * New: Customers can reschedule their own appointment from a link in their confirmation email, without contacting you. * New: Gutenberg block (“QuickCut Booking Form”) alongside the `[quickcut_booking]` shortcode. * New: No-show status, alongside Confirmed/Cancelled/Completed — reclassify a booking without cancelling it or losing a deposit already taken (Pro). * Fixed: two customers booking the same slot within moments of each other could both get confirmed into it. Booking creation now resolves that race instead of just checking availability and then inserting. * Fixed: near midnight, the lead-time cutoff could wrap past 24:00 and silently reopen the rest of today’s already-past slots. * Fixed: the confirmation email and its calendar attachment said “confirmed” even when a shop’s auto-confirm setting left the booking pending. * Fixed: a shop-wide time-off block always applied to the default location, even when a different one was selected. * Fixed: staff members never received their own notification of a new booking — only the site admin did. * Fixed: an invalid colour value on a service could be stored as blank instead of falling back to the default. #### 1.2.0 * New: Multiple locations. Run several shops from one dashboard, each with its own address, contact details and opening hours. #### 1.1.0 * New: Time-off / blocked periods (holidays, sick days, lunch breaks) per staff or shop-wide. * New: Weekly calendar view in the admin. * New: Buffer time between appointments for clean-up / prep. * New: .ics “add to calendar” file attached to confirmation emails. * New: GDPR consent checkbox (configurable text + privacy link). * New: Honeypot spam protection on the booking form (no CAPTCHA needed). * New: Staff photo and specialty shown on the booking form. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release: services, staff, availability engine, bookings, email confirmations, opening hours, admin dashboard. ## Meta * Version **1.4.1** * Last updated **15 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 5.6 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.2** * PHP version ** 7.2 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/quickcut-booking/) * Tags * [appointments](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/appointments/)[booking](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/booking/) [salon](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/salon/)[scheduling](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/scheduling/) * [Advanced View](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/quickcut-booking/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
