Registering a Bookable Type

Custom bookable types let you define entirely new categories of bookable entities beyond the built-in Service type.

PHP Handler

Extend AbstractBookableTypeHandler and implement the required methods:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyAddon;

use WPAppointments\Bookable\AbstractBookableTypeHandler;

class CourtType extends AbstractBookableTypeHandler
{
    public function get_type_slug(): string
    {
        return 'court';
    }

    public function get_type_label(): string
    {
        return __('Court', 'my-addon');
    }

    public function get_type_label_plural(): string
    {
        return __('Courts', 'my-addon');
    }

    public function get_admin_columns(): array
    {
        return [
            'surface' => __('Surface', 'my-addon'),
            'indoor'  => __('Indoor/Outdoor', 'my-addon'),
        ];
    }

    public function get_fields(): array
    {
        return [
            [
                'name'    => 'surface',
                'label'   => __('Surface Type', 'my-addon'),
                'type'    => 'select',
                'options' => ['hard', 'clay', 'grass'],
            ],
            [
                'name'  => 'indoor',
                'label' => __('Indoor', 'my-addon'),
                'type'  => 'toggle',
            ],
        ];
    }
}

Registration

Register your type in the plugin bootstrap:

add_action('init', function () {
    if (function_exists('wpappointments_register_bookable_type')) {
        wpappointments_register_bookable_type(new CourtType());
    }
});

What Registration Provides

Once registered, your bookable type automatically gets:

• Admin menu page under WP Appointments
• REST API endpoints (/wpappointments/v1/bookables?type=court)
• DataViews table with your custom columns
• Create/edit form with your custom fields
• Variant support
• Availability engine integration
