Scheduling customization

Is it possible to customize the calendar and how it's displayed? Also, how can I remove the time zone that appears at the end of the calendar?

I'm developing a website for a dentist. I'd like the client to be pre-registered when filling out the form and scheduling an appointment. Afterwards, they'll have a profile where they can schedule future appointments and keep a history of consultations, as well as see any necessary exams and payment invoices, with the option to pay on-site, by card, or via Pix (Brazilian instant payment system).

How can the receptionist also schedule appointments for this client?

Is this possible? Could someone help me?

Not sure about the styling stuff, as I usually default to whatever the automatic styling is and haven't tried to change it (not worth the effort to me).

As the data will all be PHI (not sure where you live so not sure your rules), here in the US that is all protected under HIPAA. So you will need a HIPAA compliant server. There are many different scheduling solutions available. They should probably look into something like Curve Dental.

As a long time dev, this isn't something I'd want to piece together but also the protection rules may be different where you are.

But if I did get hired to do it, and they had the budget to do a custom build and they wanted it on WordPress this is what I'd probably do:

  • I'd like the client to be pre-registered when filling out the form and scheduling an appointment. - Depending on your builder/theme, create a conditional for displaying the calendar (aka is logged in + has tag)
  • If they are paying for all the things you want in their profile, then you can use Fluent Cart's account dashboard so there will be a record of their purchase history. Otherwise you're going to have to figure out each piece, one by one.
  • On the profile/my account page you create, you can add the schedule future appointments.
  • You're going to have to customize the necessary exams. That's not a typical feature of any commerce system. You will need to figure out your flow. There are too many variables that you didn't include for me to give a suggestion.
  • Fluent Cart has the ability to create a payment processor interface so you should be able to integrate Pix provided they have the API to do it.

  • FlowMattic to create all the workflows and maybe the tables for the data
  • And/or ACF/Metabox for custom data fields.
  • With Fluent Booking, an assistant with appropriate permissions can schedule bookings.

Hello, I'm from Brazil - Sorocaba / SP, I'm learning about the possibilities and adaptations for this project, I'm researching the possible ways to execute this project.
I'm a beginner, learning, reading the available materials on the available pages.
I'm still a bit lost about the possibilities of use and what can be done.

But let's go, learning a little each day, maybe I'll get there, haha.
