I’m currently working on a booking system for my website, and I’m facing a specific challenge. I want to restrict bookings based on the user’s location. If a user is outside our service area, I’d like to display a message saying that our services are not available in their region.
Here’s what I’m aiming for:
1. **Address Confirmation**: Users enter their address or ZIP code during the booking process.
2. **Geolocation Verification**: The system checks whether the address falls within our service area.
3. **User-Friendly Feedback**:
* If the address is within our service zone, users can proceed to the next step.
* If not, we display a friendly message indicating that services are not available in their area.
**Questions**:
1. What’s the best way to collect user addresses during the booking process?
2. How can I integrate geolocation APIs (such as Google Maps) to verify addresses?
3. Are there any existing plugins or custom solutions that achieve this?
Additionally, I’d like to prompt users who are within our service area to proceed to the booking options. If anyone has experience implementing a similar flow, I’d greatly appreciate your insights!
Thank you in advance.
Are you saying you build booking system in WP? Without plugins?
