BookingOptimiser for Bókun

Descripción

BookingOptimiser for Bókun is a Bókun booking calendar for WordPress. It connects to the Bókun
booking API and shows your tours, activities, and experiences with their real-time availability
in a clean, mobile-friendly calendar. Visitors pick a date and time slot and book on your own
site — the cart, booking questions, and payment all run through Bókun (Stripe card payments or
reserve-for-payment). The plugin only displays your experiences and takes bookings — no discounts
and no deal generation.

If you sell tours or activities and manage them in Bókun, this plugin turns any WordPress page into
a live tour-booking and activity-reservation page, with on-site checkout, so customers never leave
your website.

Features

• Bókun availability calendar — real-time time slots, seats left, and prices pulled from Bókun.
• On-site checkout through Bókun — Stripe card payment or reserve-for-payment; no redirect.
• Tabbed calendars for multiple tours/activities, experience-card grids, and a single-experience page with hero and gallery.
• Shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks, with appearance controls (colors, layout, cards, single page).
• Live Bókun bookings viewer in the admin (optional).
• Lightweight and privacy-friendly: no tracking, no cookies, no analytics.

This plugin is a third-party integration for Bókun. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or
operated by Bókun ehf. "Bókun" is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to
describe compatibility.

External services

This plugin relies on external services to function. By using it you (and your site’s visitors)
interact with the following third parties:

Bókun (booking platform) — required.
What it is: Bókun is a tours-and-activities reservation system. This plugin reads your experiences'
availability and prices from the Bókun API and submits bookings to it.
Data sent and when: on page load, requests for availability include your configured experience/
activity IDs and the requested date range. When a visitor books, the data they enter — name, email,
phone, number of participants, answers to Bókun’s booking questions, and the payment token — is sent
to Bókun to create the booking. Requests are signed with the API Access Key and Secret Key you
enter under Connection.

Stripe (card payments) — used only at checkout when your Bókun account takes card payments.
What it is: Stripe processes card payments. During Bókun checkout the plugin loads Stripe.js to
tokenize the visitor’s card in the browser.
Data sent and when: when a visitor pays by card, their card details are sent directly to Stripe and
exchanged for a single-use token; the plugin never sees or stores the raw card number.

Privacy

This plugin does not track your visitors. It sets no tracking cookies, runs no analytics, and stores
no booking, customer, or payment data in your WordPress database — all booking and payment data is
handled by Bókun (and Stripe) through their APIs. The only data this plugin saves locally is your
plugin settings (API keys, selected experiences, and appearance options).

Usage

Add a shortcode (or the matching block from the "BookingOptimiser" block category) to any
page or post. There is also an interactive shortcode builder under BookingOptimiser →
Shortcodes in wp-admin that generates the code for you. Every shortcode and block inherits the
defaults set under Appearance, and any attribute you pass overrides that default per instance.
