WSH Hotel Booking Management

WSH Hotel Booking Management is a free hotel booking plugin for WordPress websites that use WooCommerce for checkout. The free version is focused on a simple booking flow:

• create room types
• show room pages and room overviews
• search by check-in, check-out and guests
• display available rooms
• send bookings to WooCommerce cart and checkout
• manage reservations from WordPress admin
• use a booking calendar and a guided setup wizard

The plugin is suitable for hotels, guesthouses, apartments and similar accommodation websites that need a lightweight direct-booking setup. The free plugin does not require any paid activation step. Core features

• Room Types as native WordPress content
• Search form with check-in, check-out and guests
• Room grid overview shortcode
• Single room pages
• Availability-aware booking flow
• Booking calendar in admin
• Reservation overview in admin
• Guided setup wizard for first-time setup

Optional Pro add-on WSH Hotel Free works as a complete free booking engine without a license key or paid activation step. A separate Pro add-on can be used when a site needs advanced hotel tools such as rate plans, seasonal price rules, add-ons and expanded guest management. Pro functionality is not locked inside the Free plugin. WooCommerce integration WooCommerce is required for cart, checkout and payment handling. The plugin stores booking data in its own WordPress database tables and links completed bookings to WooCommerce orders. WooCommerce handles checkout, payment and order storage. Data and uninstall behavior When the plugin is uninstalled, plugin-owned database tables, settings and scheduled cleanup events are removed. Room Type posts are user-created WordPress content and are preserved. WooCommerce orders remain under WooCommerce's control. Bundled assets All bundled images and visual assets are original WebStyle assets and are distributed with the plugin under the plugin license. Shortcodes Use these shortcodes on your pages:

• [cnwshotel_search] - room search form
• [cnwshotel_room_results] - filtered room results after search
• [cnwshotel_rooms] - all-room overview grid
