Lodging Suite Booking

This plugin requires a Lodging Suite account. Lodging Suite is a hosted property management system for independent hotels, inns, motels and vacation rentals. The plugin connects your WordPress site to your Lodging Suite property so guests can check availability, see live rates and book directly on your website, commission-free. Bookings appear in your Lodging Suite dashboard the moment they are made. Start a free trial at lodgingsuite.com/signup; plans are listed at lodgingsuite.com. What guests get

• A search bar with check-in, check-out and guest counts, optional flexible dates (plus or minus up to 3 nights) and an availability calendar.
• A results grid of available rooms or units with photos, live nightly rates and totals, configurable to 2 to 5 columns.
• Room detail pages with a photo gallery and lightbox, amenities, descriptions, an availability calendar and a location map.
• A booking sidebar that collects guest details, applies coupon codes and takes card payment through Stripe, or holds the reservation without payment if you prefer.

What you get

• Every rate, restriction, closure and season you set in Lodging Suite is honored on your site automatically. There is nothing to sync.
• Guest details and card payments go straight to your own Stripe account, connected inside Lodging Suite. The plugin never stores card numbers.
• Association mode lets a tourism board or resort association list several member properties and route each booking to the right one.
• Colors, button styling, labels and column counts are configured on the plugin settings page, so the widgets match your theme.

The settings page can create a Search Results page and a Room Detail page for you with the right shortcodes already in place. External services This plugin talks to the following services. No data is sent until a visitor uses a booking widget, except as noted. Lodging Suite API (operated by Lodging Suite, hosted on Supabase at tjtvqqfsiqdseubrtngu.supabase.co). Every widget loads your property content, availability and rates from this API, and sends bookings to it. Data sent: your property API key, search dates and guest counts, and for a booking the guest's name, email, phone, address, special requests, coupon code and the payment token issued by Stripe. This is the service the plugin exists to connect to; it cannot work without it. Terms of service - Privacy policy Stripe (js.stripe.com). Loaded only when you enter a Stripe publishable key on the settings page. Card details are entered in Stripe's own hosted fields and go directly from the guest's browser to Stripe; the plugin and Lodging Suite only receive a token. Terms - Privacy policy Google Maps (maps.google.com, www.google.com/maps/embed, maps.googleapis.com). The room detail page embeds a map of the property's location in an iframe; with a Google API key entered on the settings page the Maps Embed API is used instead. When a key is present the booking form also loads the Places library to autocomplete the guest's address. Google receives the property coordinates and, for autocomplete, what the guest types in the address field. Set show_map="false" and leave the key empty to disable both. Terms - Privacy policy Source code The booking widgets are built from TypeScript and React source in the src directory of this plugin and compiled with Vite into assets/js/ls-booking.js. Run npm install and npm run build inside the plugin directory to rebuild.

1.5.14

• New: a short notice under the phone field tells guests the hotel will text reservation updates to that number (message and data rates may apply, reply STOP to opt out), as US carriers require for business texting.

1.5.13

• New: “Enhance your stay”. Guests can add the extras you set up in Lodging Suite (early check-in, late checkout, parking, breakfast and so on) while booking. Prices, taxes and daily limits come from Lodging Suite, and the total and deposit include them.

1.5.12

• Fix: the one-time rename of old [ls_...] shortcodes now also reaches synced patterns and block templates and large sites; old tags keep working as aliases.
• Fix: activation now sets up default settings, and deleting the plugin removes its settings and cached data.
• Fix: the booking sidebar no longer shifts unavailable nights by a day for visitors east of UTC.

1.5.11

• Security: room and property descriptions that contain HTML are sanitized before they are shown, so only basic formatting (bold, italic, lists, paragraphs, links) reaches the page.

1.5.10

• Properties can require card payment when booking online (Lodging Suite → Settings → Payments); the “Pay on arrival” choice is hidden when that is on.

1.5.9

• Online payments no longer require pasting a Stripe publishable key into WordPress: when the field is blank, the plugin uses the Stripe account connected in the Lodging Suite dashboard.

1.5.8

• Shortcode tags now carry the full plugin prefix, for example [lsbooking_property_search]. Existing pages that use the previous [ls_...] tags are updated automatically on upgrade.
• Settings-page and room-list carousel scripts are enqueued from files instead of printed inline.
• An older copy of the plugin left in the "lodgingsuitebooking" folder is no longer deactivated automatically; the Plugins screen shows a notice with a button instead.
• Shortcode error and loading messages are escaped on output.

1.5.0

• Prepared for the WordPress.org plugin directory: all PHP identifiers now use the lsbooking prefix, text domain is lodging-suite-booking, readme rewritten with external-service disclosures.
• Settings saved under the previous option name are migrated automatically on first load.

1.4.6

• Date picker caps check-in at the property's booking window.

1.4.4

• Guests dropdown always offers Adults and Children; flexible-dates select opens from the icon and arrow.

1.4.3

• Live night count while picking dates; search bar clears a stale check-out; new lsbooking_should_enqueue filters for themes that wrap the shortcodes.

1.4.0

• Flexible dates: plus or minus 0 to 3 nights in the search bar, nearby-dates results, Default Flexible Dates setting and flex shortcode attribute.

1.3.5

• Partial result rows are left-justified.

1.3.4

• Search results say "accommodations" rather than "properties".

1.3.3

• Results Columns setting (2 to 5) and columns shortcode attribute.

1.3.2

• Photo lightbox close button is visible on every background.

1.3.1

• Result card photos fill the 4:3 frame regardless of aspect ratio.
