Free reservations

Set Checkout to Free reservation, or use the plugin without WooCommerce. Prices are hidden and visitors reserve with their name and email.

• They get a confirmation email with the date, time and tickets, and a link to cancel. Cancelling frees the spot for someone else.
• You get an email for each new or cancelled reservation. Set where it goes under Booking Form → Send reservation notices to (the site admin email when empty). Reply to it to answer the person directly.

Spam protection

Free reservations come from a public form, so it's protected several ways:

• A hidden trap field for bots, and only forms on your own site can send reservations.
• One email address can hold up to two bookings' worth of spots on a bookable at a time, and one connection up to four. Variations of one address (Jane.Doe+rink@gmail.com, janedoe@gmail.com) count as the same person. Hourly and daily limits apply on top.
• If the site uses the Simple Cloudflare Turnstile plugin, every reservation must pass its security check. If Cloudflare can't be reached, reservations wait rather than go through unchecked.
