For Developers

templates/to{theme}/webtend-service-catalog-builder/ - Extensible via action/filter hooks (

Privacy
The Service Inquiry Form collects and stores the following data when a visitor submits it: name, email address, phone number (optional), budget range (optional), message, the related service/plan, and the visitor’s IP address (used for basic spam/abuse mitigation). This data is stored in a custom database table and is only used to respond to the inquiry — it is never sent to any third-party service.
This data is registered with WordPress’s built-in Personal Data Export and Personal Data Erase tools (Settings → Privacy), so site administrators can fulfil data subject requests. Erasure anonymizes the submitter’s identifying fields while retaining the record for statistics.
No data is sent to any external server by this plugin.
Installation
- Upload the
webtend-service-catalog-builderfolder to/wp-content/plugins/ - Activate Elementor (3.5 or higher) if not already active
- Activate Service Catalog Builder via Plugins → Installed Plugins
- Navigate to Service Builder → Add New Service to create your first service
- Use Service Builder → Pricing Tables to build pricing plans
- Embed with shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks, or Elementor widgets
Frequently asked questions
Which version of Elementor is required?
Elementor 3.5 or higher is required. Both the free Elementor plugin and Elementor Pro are supported.
Does this work without WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce integration is optional and only activates when WooCommerce is installed.
Does this work without Elementor?
Elementor is required for the Elementor widgets. However, Gutenberg blocks and shortcodes work independently without Elementor.
Can I customise the templates?
Yes. Copy any file from plugins/webtend-service-catalog-builder/templates/ into {your-theme}/webtend-service-catalog-builder/ and edit freely.
How do I enable WhatsApp inquiry buttons?
Go to Service Builder → Settings → Direct Inquiry, enable the WhatsApp toggle, and enter your WhatsApp number in international format (e.g. 8801712345678 — country code first, no + or spaces). The button will appear automatically on all single service pages. You can also override the number per service from the service edit screen sidebar.
Can I set a different WhatsApp number for each service?
Yes. Open any service in the editor and find the “Direct Inquiry (WhatsApp / Telegram)” meta box in the sidebar. Enter a service-specific number there — it overrides the global number from Settings for that service only.
How does the review moderation work?
When a visitor submits a review, it is saved as “Pending” and not shown publicly. Go to Comments in the WordPress admin and filter by type “wscb_review” to see pending reviews. Approve, edit, or delete them as you would normal comments.
How do I set a service as Fully Booked?
Open the service in the editor and find the Service Availability meta box in the sidebar. Choose the desired status from the dropdown. The colored badge appears automatically on service cards and the single service page, and the status is added to the service schema.org JSON-LD.
Can I export inquiries to Excel or a CRM?
Yes. Go to Service Builder — Inquiries and click the Export CSV button in the top right. The export respects the current status filter (All / New / Read). The CSV includes a UTF-8 BOM for correct opening in Microsoft Excel.
Does the star rating appear in Google search results?
Yes, if schema markup is enabled (Settings → Schema / SEO → Enable Service Schema Markup). Once at least one review is approved, the plugin automatically adds AggregateRating JSON-LD to the service page, which Google can use to show star snippets in search results.
Is it translation ready?
Yes. All strings are wrapped in the webtend-service-catalog-builder text domain.
I updated Elementor and my widgets disappeared from the panel — what happened?
Elementor 3.5 changed how widget categories are registered. This plugin requires version 1.0.1 or higher to work correctly with Elementor 3.5+. Please update the plugin to the latest version.
