Link App to WordPress Website

  • can we connect an app from play store & iOS to WordPress Website.

    There is a brand that provides home salon services. It has different time slots on its app, through which people book their services.

    Example – Suppose the time slot is 8am-9am, so at a time in this time slot 5 persons can book, that means in a time slot brand can have 5 bookings at a time.

    The brand want this feature to be linked with website and app.

    Now, the brand wants to link its app to the website in a manner that if someone books from the website, it automatically shows up there in the app & time slots also get adjusted according to that.

    The solution depends on where the booking data is saved. If it’s within WP, an app can connect via the WP REST API and update booking records accordingly. If the booking data is saved elsewhere, it too presumably has an API through which the app interacts. Then in theory WP can also interact through the same API by making appropriate HTTPS requests. WP would need appropriate security credentials in order to access the API. Also, the API’s firewall would need to accept requests from your WP server. If the firewall accepts app requests, it’ll likely accept properly formed WP requests as well.

    The connection may need to be custom coded, but generally speaking it should be possible to accomplish what you want.
