External services
This plugin connects to Pikit services to provide online booking.
Service: Pikit online booking (https://pikit.io)
What the service is used for:
- Loading the official booking widget JavaScript on your website
- Opening the booking flow when a visitor clicks a Pikit Button
- Linking your WordPress site to your Pikit business account via an installation code
What data is sent and when:
- When the embed is enabled, your site loads scripts from
https://book.pikit.io(including your installation code aswindow.PIKIT_TOKEN). - When a visitor interacts with the booking widget, data is sent directly between the visitor and Pikit according to Pikit’s terms and privacy policy (appointment details, contact information, etc.).
- This plugin stores your installation code and embed settings in the WordPress database on your server. It does not send WordPress user data to Pikit by itself.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Pikit account?
Yes. This plugin embeds the official Pikit booking widget. Sign up at pikit.io and enable online booking in your dashboard.
Where do I find my installation code?
In Pikit: Business settings → Online booking → Setup & Integration.
Why does Verify Connection fail?
The website URL in Pikit Business settings must match this WordPress site (including https://). The installation code in plugin settings must match your Pikit account. The embed must be enabled in plugin settings and appear in your page HTML.
Does this work with Elementor or WPBakery?
Yes. Search for Pikit Button in the Elementor widget panel or WPBakery element list (under the Pikit category). You can also use the shortcode in any builder.
What shortcode attributes are supported?
[pikit_book_button text=”Book now” style=”button” class=”pikit-book-button” align=”center”] text — button or link label style — button or link class — CSS classes on the trigger element align — wrapper alignment: left, center, or right
Does this plugin work without Elementor or WPBakery?
Yes. The Gutenberg block and shortcode work on any theme. Elementor and WPBakery integrations load only when those plugins are active.
