Front-end Customer Panel

The Front-End Customer panel allows your customers to manage their appointments or to make changes to their appointments. Thanks to the front-end customer panel, your customers will be able to create their profiles and make changes to their profiles, without being a WP user.

Please note that the customer panel is not for booking appointments. You need to configure the booking block so that your customers can book appointments without logging in to your website.
