External services

This plugin is a bridge between your WordPress site and your SimplyBook.me booking system. It connects to the SimplyBook.me API to log you in, to save your company settings, and to load your bookings and statistics in the plugin dashboard. With each request it sends your site URL and the plugin, WordPress and PHP version to SimplyBook.me. The Plans & Prices page loads a subscription script from SimplyBook.me.

The booking widget shows the booking form to your visitors. It sends the IP address of the visitor when a page with the widget loads, and the booking data when the visitor books. Without a connected account, a demo widget on demowidgetwpplugin.simplybook.it receives the IP address instead.

During onboarding, the plugin can create a SimplyBook.me account for you. It sends your site URL and plugin installation data to the Really Simple Plugins account service (simplybook.rsp-auth.com) together with your account details when you submit the account form. Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise protects this form and receives the IP address and browser data of the admin. The same step shows a tutorial video from YouTube, which receives your IP address and browser data. No cookies are set before you play the video.
