Stub

Stub is a booking and appointment scheduling plugin for Craft CMS 5. Built for service businesses, salons, consultants, and anyone who needs to accept bookings online. Multi-provider scheduling, Stripe payments, and a drop-in frontend booking form — no Commerce dependency required.

Features

Services

Define bookable services with duration, pricing, buffer times (before/after), capacity per slot, and color coding. Services support soft delete and drag-to-reorder.

Multi-Provider Scheduling

Each provider (staff member) gets:

• Weekly schedule — Set working hours per day of week (in the provider's own timezone)
• Breaks — Recurring break periods (lunch, etc.) per day of week
• Blocked dates — Date ranges for vacations, holidays, or closures
• Service assignments — Choose which services each provider offers
• Optional Craft user link — Tie a provider to a Craft user account

Bookings (Craft Element Type)

Bookings are native Craft elements. This means:

• Full element index with column customization, sorting, and search
• Status filters: Pending, Confirmed, Completed, Cancelled, No Show
• Trash/restore support
• Status transitions with cancellation reason tracking
• Payment status tracking (Unpaid, Paid, Refunded)
• Reference numbers (e.g. STB-20260215-A1B2)

Availability Engine

The slot generation algorithm respects all constraints:

• Provider's weekly schedule and timezone
• Breaks and blocked dates
• Service duration and buffer times (before + after)
• Existing bookings and service capacity
• Minimum notice period and max advance booking window

Frontend Booking Form

A vanilla JS step wizard (no React/Vue dependency) with 6 steps:

1. Select Service — Cards with name, duration, price
2. Select Provider — AJAX-loaded providers for the chosen service
3. Pick Date & Time — Custom calendar grid + time slot list
4. Customer Info — Name, email, phone, notes with client-side validation
5. Payment — Stripe Payment Element (if service has a price)
6. Confirmation — Reference number and booking summary
