Inventory behavior

An immediate reservation reduces stock once. When approval is required, the request remains pending without changing stock; approval starts the active hold and its duration. Cancellation or expiration releases held stock once. Checkout transfers the held unit to the order without a second stock decrement. Qualifying cancelled orders restore the unit once.

The Free edition supports logged-in customers, simple products with WooCommerce stock management enabled, and one unit per reservation.

Privacy and external services

Reservation records are stored only in this website’s WordPress database. Spectral Dot Reservations does not send reservation data, telemetry, or usage analytics to the plugin authors or any service selected by the plugin.

If email notifications are enabled, reservation details are passed to the mail delivery system configured by the site owner. That system may be the web host, an SMTP plugin, or another third-party provider and is governed by the site owner’s provider terms.

Reservation records remain in the database until the plugin is uninstalled. For closed reservations, WordPress erasure anonymizes the customer identity and free-text denial details while retaining operational reservation, order, and inventory data. Open reservations are retained until their inventory obligation ends; the customer can submit another erasure request after the reservation closes.
