Automatic Payment Subscriptions
Can Client Sync be set up for monthly automatic payment subscriptions? I have a client who wants a subscriber to get 4 meetings a month for a set price.
Yes, absolutely.
Based on the code structure we have been working with (specifically the Pro Memberships Module), this is exactly what that feature was designed to do.
You will need the Client Sync Pro add-on and the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin.
Here is the exact workflow to achieve “4 meetings a month for a set price”:
1. The Setup Logic
You are going to create a Membership Plan in Client Sync that acts as a “rule set” (e.g., “Allow 4 bookings per month for free”). Then, you will link that rule set to a WooCommerce Subscription product that handles the recurring billing.
2. Step-by-Step Configuration
Step A: Create the Membership Plan
- Go to Client Sync > Memberships (or
Forms->Add New->Membership Plandepending on your menu structure). - Title: “Monthly Consulting Plan”.
- Add Rule:
- Apply To: Select “All Services” (or a specific service like “Consulting Call”).
- Rule Type: Booking Limit.
- Value: 4.
- Period: Per Month.
- (Note: Based on your
Membership_Rules_Enginecode, if a user is under their limit, the price automatically becomes $0.00 in the cart).
- Save the plan.
Step B: Create the WooCommerce Product
- Go to Products > Add New.
- Product Type: Simple Subscription (requires WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin).
- Price: Set the monthly fee (e.g., $200 / month).
- Publish the product.
Step C: Link Them
- Go back to your Client Sync Membership Plan from Step A.
- Look for the “WooCommerce Subscription Link” meta box in the sidebar.
- Search for and select the Subscription Product you created in Step B.
- Save.
3. How it works for the Customer
- Purchase: The client buys the subscription on your site via WooCommerce.
- Activation: The
WC_Subscriptions_Integrationclass in your code detects the payment and automatically tags that user account with the Membership Plan ID. - Booking:
- The user logs in.
- They go to the booking form.
- Bookings 1-4: The system sees they have a membership. It shows the price as $0.00 (Included in Membership) and lets them book instantly.
- Booking 5: The system checks the
_get_user_usage_for_periodlogic, sees they hit the limit of 4, and either blocks the booking or charges the full normal price (depending on how you set up additional rules).
- Renewal: Next month, WooCommerce charges the card. The membership stays active, and the usage counter resets to 0 automatically.
- Cancellation: If they cancel payment, the integration code removes the membership flag, and they can no longer book for free.
Client Sync Pro
Stop Wrestling with WordPress Bookings. Meet Client Sync Pro.
If you run a service-based business, you know the nightmare: You have a client who wants an appointment, a staff member who needs to be free, and a specific room or piece of equipment that must be available—all at the same time. And for medical practices, you have the added burden of keeping that data secure.
Most WordPress plugins crumble under that complexity. They either slow down your site, force you into a rigid box, or leave sensitive data exposed.
Enter Client Sync Pro.
Built on a high-performance architecture using custom database tables, Client Sync isn’t just a calendar—it’s a complete logic and security engine for your business.
Why Pro changes the game:
- 🧩 True Resource Scheduling: Do you rent boats? Manage a medical clinic? Run a salon? With our unique “Dimensions” system, a booking is only confirmed if the Service, the Staff Member, AND the Room/Equipment are all available simultaneously. No more double-booking your X-Ray room or your best pontoon boat.
- 🔒 HIPAA Compliance Suite: Secure your practice with enterprise-grade protection. Our new HIPAA Mode encrypts patient notes at rest, anonymizes data before it syncs to Google Calendar, and maintains a tamper-resistant audit log of every staff interaction.
- 🔄 2-Way Google Sync: Your staff lives in Google Calendar. Client Sync Pro pushes appointments to their phone instantly and blocks off time in WordPress if they add a personal event in Google—all while stripping sensitive patient names to keep you compliant.
- 💳 Dynamic WooCommerce Payments: We don’t just “support” WooCommerce; we integrate deeply. Charge different rates for weekends, offer membership discounts, or require deposits. The booking flow feels native and professional.
- 👥 Memberships & Packages: Turn one-off customers into recurring revenue. Sell membership tiers that grant booking credits or exclusive discounts automatically.
- 📊 Manager Timeline View: See your entire business at a glance. Our “Video Editor style” timeline visualization lets you spot gaps and overlaps across all your resources instantly.
Whether you need simple time slots, multi-day rentals, or a secure medical scheduling platform, Client Sync scales with you without bloating your database.

Why Choose Client Sync Over Other WordPress Booking Systems?
Other plugins rely on the standard WordPress post table, which slows to a crawl with thousands of appointments. Client Sync is different. We use a custom, optimized database architecture to handle massive appointment volumes, ensuring your booking calendar loads instantly, every time.
-
⚡ Blazing-Fast Performance: Our custom tables ensure your site remains fast and responsive, even with complex schedules and thousands of available slots. No more frustrated clients waiting for a calendar to load.
-
💳 Seamless WooCommerce Integration: Go beyond simple booking. Require deposits, accept full payments, or even set up "Pay on Day" automatic charges for a professional, automated payment workflow.
-
🎨 Unmatched Customization: Create the exact booking experience you need. With unlimited custom fields—including our unique Image Map for visual annotations—and flexible availability rules, Client Sync adapts to your business, not the other way around.
-
🤖 Powerful Automation: Set your availability generation and appointment reminders on autopilot. Reduce no-shows and administrative work so you can focus on what you do best: serving your clients.

Custom Admin CSS WordPress Plugin
Free! Like Speech.
It is so easy and useful that I thought I should pass it on.
This is the code that is in the file. Install this plugin like any other in your WordPress Administrator area.
- Navigate to Settings > Custom Admin CSS in the admin menu.
Features and Security
- Simple Interface: A straightforward textarea for CSS input.
- Admin-Only: The CSS only affects the backend, thanks to the admin_head hook.
- Secure: The wp_strip_all_tags function removes HTML tags from the input, ensuring no malicious code (like <script>) can be executed, while preserving CSS syntax.
- Permission Check: Only users with manage_options capability (typically administrators) can access the settings.
Notes
- The CSS applies globally to all admin pages. For specific pages, you’d need to add conditions using get_current_screen() (beyond this basic version).
- No preview is included, but you can test styles by saving and refreshing an admin page.
This plugin provides a simple, effective way to customize the WordPress admin area’s appearance with your own CSS!

Image Marker
Image Marker for Gravity Forms

Interactively mark specific points on an image
We've developed a custom Gravity Forms field called Image Marker, designed to enhance form functionality by allowing users to interactively mark specific points on an image directly within a form. This field is perfect for scenarios where visual input is valuable-think marking pain points on a medical diagram, indicating locations on a map, or highlighting areas of interest in a photo. It's built to integrate seamlessly into the Gravity Forms ecosystem, providing an intuitive experience for both form administrators and end-users.
Doctors, for medical notes.
Medical Recording, Interactive Patient Form.
Medical Patient Onboarding Tool
Key Features
Here's what makes the Image Marker field stand out:
- Interactive Marking: Users can click on an image to place marks-visualized as small indicators like red dots-and the coordinates of these marks are captured and stored for processing.
- Mandatory Input Option: Administrators can set the field as "Required," ensuring users add at least one mark before submitting the form. If no marks are added, a validation message prompts the user to engage with the image.
- Customizable Settings: In the Gravity Forms editor, form creators can configure the field by selecting the image, setting canvas dimensions, and applying options like CSS classes or conditional logic for a tailored setup.
- Processed Output: After submission, the marks are scaled to the original image size, drawn onto the image (e.g., as red dots), and saved as a new file linked to the form entry.
- Email Integration: The marked image is automatically included in Gravity Forms' email notifications, so recipients can see the user's input right in their inbox.
- User-Friendly Design: The field blends naturally into Gravity Forms, appearing as a standard field type with its own settings and validation, making it easy to use for everyone involved.
- Real-Time Interaction: Front-end JavaScript powers the interactive experience, capturing clicks on the image and storing coordinates in a hidden input field for submission.
If you are interested in the plugin please get in touch with us.
