How do I add an appointment booking to my WordPress site?

Adding an appointment booking feature to your WordPress site is a simple process. Begin by opening your WordPress site in a web browser and navigating to the “Posts” page. Click on the “Add New” button and enter the following code into the “Text” field:

<form action="https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/apis/booking/v3/dates/all" method="post">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="title">Title</label>
    <input id="title" class="form-control" name="title" type="text" />
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="description">Description</label>
    <textarea id="description" class="form-control" name="description"></textarea>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <button type="submit">Book</button>
  </div>
</form>

Note: It is recommended to test the booking feature thoroughly before making it live on your website. Appointment booking features can be complex, and if not set up correctly, it can cause frustration for your users.

You’ll need to provide your Google Calendar ID and secret key which you can find at https://developers.google.com/calendar/intro/getting-started#access-and-settings. Once you’ve entered these details, click on the “Book” button to add the appointment to your WordPress site. You will then be redirected to Google Calendar where you can view and edit the appointment.
