Plugins - Coming Soon
We're excited to announce that we're working on a robust plugin system to extend the functionality of the Bookla Platform. This system will allow for easy integration of additional features and third-party services, as well as provide an opportunity for developers to create and share their own plugins.

Developer Opportunities
We believe in the power of community-driven innovation. That's why we're creating a framework that will allow developers to build and integrate their own plugins with the Bookla Platform.

- Developer Portal: A dedicated space for managing your plugins, accessing analytics, and collaborating with the community.
Use Cases for Custom Plugins

- Integration with niche third-party services
- Custom booking flows and business logic
- Specialized reporting and analytics tools
We're excited about the possibilities that plugins will bring to the Bookla Platform and can't wait to see what innovative solutions our developer community will create. Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your interest in extending the capabilities of Bookla!
