WordPress Plug-In/Widget
WordPress is software you can use to create your own website or blog. When signing up for WordPress, you have two options: 1) WordPress.org and 2) WordPress.com. The software is the same, but the difference lies within how you host the software. Here's the difference:
WordPress.com
With WordPress.com, you can sign up for an account and have it hosted by WordPress. Your website/blog would have a URL similar to: http://[your name].wordpress.com. To include your DaySmart Appointments "Book Now" button, you would add a widget to your WordPress account.WordPress.org
With WordPress.com, you can signup for an account and choose your own server hosting. From WordPress.org, you can select from recommended hosting services, or host it on your own server. If you hosted it on your own server, you would have a URL similar to: https://[your name].[your domain].com. To include your DaySmart Appointments "Book Now" button, you would add a plugin to your WordPress account.
Add a WordPress.com "Book Now" Link
The following steps will guide you through the process in adding a "Book Now" link.
From the header of your DaySmart Appointments® account, hover over the Customer View drop down and select Book Now Buttons.
Select the Text Link option.
NOTE: With the WordPress.com accounts, you will need to use the "Text Link" option to use the copy & paste functionality. If you select any of the "Book Now" buttons, the copy & paste sequence will not work because of the scripting language.
Click the Copy to Clipboard link in Step 2 of the "Book Now" buttons page.
From the Dashboard of your WordPress account, select Appearance from the left side navigation, and then select Widgets.
Find the Text widget, and then click and drag it over to the desired area under the "Primary Widget Area" on the right.
Once you have added the text widget, click the arrow drop down of the widget. A text form will appear for you to enter a "Title" and an area to paste in your "Book Now" link. Enter your text link code and click "Save".
Your "Book Now" text link is complete and you can now view it from your WordPress site.
Add a WordPress.org "Book Now" Button
From the header of your DaySmart Appointments account, hover over the Customer View drop down and select Book Now Buttons.

Click the Copy to Clipboard link.
From your WordPress.org Dashboard, click on the Plug-Ins icon from the left navigation window.
Search for the plug-in with the keyword "DaySmart Appointments." Once you find it, click "Install" and follow any prompts.
Click the "Plug-Ins" icon again, and click the Activate link under the DaySmart Appointments plugin.
