Descripción
Mozz Bookings lets your customers book appointments directly from your website and receive an instant SMS confirmation. Built for businesses across Africa — Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and more — using the reliable Africa’s Talking SMS gateway.
Drop the [mozz_form] shortcode onto any page and you have a clean, mobile-friendly booking form. Every booking lands in a simple admin dashboard where you can track, update, and complete appointments. Optional automatic reminders are sent 24 hours before each appointment so customers never forget.
Whether you run a barbershop, clinic, salon, consultancy, or any appointment-based business, Mozz Bookings keeps you connected with your customers on the channel they use most: their phone.

External services
This plugin connects to the Africa’s Talking SMS gateway to deliver booking
confirmation and reminder text messages. This is required for the plugin’s core
function — sending SMS — and only happens when you have entered your own Africa’s
Talking credentials and a booking is made (or a reminder is due).
What is sent, and when:
- When a customer submits a booking, or a 24-hour reminder is triggered, the
plugin sends the customer’s phone number and the message text to Africa’s
Talking, authenticated with your account username and API key.
No data is sent to any third party until you configure your Africa’s Talking
credentials in the plugin settings. The plugin makes no other external requests.
