Yes. Set the service’s Availability Mode to “Service-only” and it will use your company working hours directly — no staff selection step. ### How does the plugin prevent double-bookings? Multiple layers: real-time availability checks, overlap detection, a temporary booking lock during processing, and a final server-side check before saving. ### Can I customize the shortcode? Yes. Example: `[oryx_bookings template="stepper" primary_color="#EF4444" show_price ="no"]`. A Shortcode Generator is available in Settings. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Oryx Bookings: WooCommerce Appointments & Scheduling (100% Free)” is open source software.
