> BookingFish is a Canadian SaaS reservation platform and WordPress plugin designed for fishing guides, boat rental operators, and outdoor activity providers. It lets vendors manage availability, accept online bookings, process payments via Stripe Connect Express, and embed booking calendars or gift certificate widgets on their WordPress site. The platform is fully bilingual (FR/EN), hosted in Canada, and compliant with LPRPDE and Quebec Loi 25.

## What BookingFish Does

BookingFish has two components:

1. **BookingFish.ca** — Cloud dashboard where vendors manage boats, availability calendars, bookings, clients, email templates, gift certificates, and Stripe Connect payments.
2. **BookingFish Calendar** — WordPress plugin that connects a vendor's WordPress site to the BookingFish.ca dashboard. Embeds live booking calendars and gift certificate widgets.
