SleekView for Checkfront Bridge: synced bookings as tables
Checkfront Bridge syncs Checkfront bookings into a checkfront_booking custom post type with API-fetched meta on each post. SleekView reads those posts and presents bookings, customers, and statuses as one editable grid.

Synced Checkfront bookings as first-class WordPress rows
Checkfront Bridge connects a WordPress site to a Checkfront tour or rental account. Each booking is written into WordPress as a checkfront_booking post with the booking code, customer, item, start, end, status, and amount in wp_postmeta. The bridge handles the API back and forth; what it does not ship is a useful admin surface for the synced data itself.
SleekView reads the checkfront_booking CPT and promotes the bridge-written meta into columns. Booking code, customer name, item, start, end, status, and total all become first-class rows. Inline edits are scoped to status (which the bridge can sync back to Checkfront through its API) and internal notes (local-only), with a clear indicator on which fields are sync-eligible.
For tour and rental operators the operational win is a single grid that mirrors Checkfront without leaving WordPress: today's bookings filterable by item, a status column that syncs back, and saved views for guides, dispatch, and finance. The bridge stays in charge of the API contract; SleekView is the workflow on top.

Features
What SleekView gives you for Checkfront Bridge for WordPress
Today's bookings
Filter by start-date equals today, sort by start time, group by item. The saved Today view replaces the back-and-forth between the Checkfront app and WordPress.
Status sync indicator
Status edits route through the bridge's API back to Checkfront. A small indicator on each row shows last-sync time so operators know what's local-only and what's live in Checkfront.
Internal notes
Add a notes column that lives only in WordPress. Internal guide hand-off notes don't pollute the customer-facing record in Checkfront but stay alongside each row in the grid.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Checkfront Bridge
Tour guides
Open the Guide manifest view on a phone, scoped to today and to the items assigned. Customer name, start time, and party size sit in one row, ready for the morning briefing.
Dispatch
Group bookings by item and time to plan the day. Filter by Hold status to chase customers who haven't paid before the start window closes.
Finance
Reconcile end-of-week revenue by item. Filter Paid status against Cancelled, sum the amount column, export the filtered set as CSV for the bookkeeping spreadsheet.
The bigger picture
Why bridge-style integrations need a real admin grid
Bridge plugins solve the hardest part of an integration: keeping two systems in sync. What they typically don't solve is the admin experience on the WordPress side, because the source of truth lives in the other system. Operators end up with two open tabs all day: Checkfront for the truth and WordPress for the website.
SleekView closes that loop without changing where the truth lives. The grid reads bridge-synced bookings, surfaces the columns operators actually need (item, start, customer, amount, status), and edits the small set of fields that should change from WordPress side (status, internal notes). Guides get a phone-friendly manifest, dispatch gets a day grid, finance gets a reconcile view.
The bridge keeps doing what it does best; the admin finally has the workflow surface it was missing.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Checkfront Bridge for WordPress
No. SleekView reads the checkfront_booking CPT that the bridge plugin has already synced. Status changes can sync back to Checkfront through the bridge's own API hook, so the bridge stays in charge of the API contract.
Only bookings the bridge has written into wp_posts appear in the grid. Trigger the bridge's sync as usual, and new bookings show up in the next view refresh.
Price and item fields are read-only by default because they're sourced from Checkfront. The intentional editable scope is status and internal notes, which keeps the source of truth clear.
Notes are stored in wp_postmeta with a clear local-only namespace, and the bridge plugin is configured not to sync them back to Checkfront. The grid surfaces them inline for guides and dispatch.
Yes. The start date column is a sortable, filterable field. Save a Today view and pin it for dispatch. The same view rolls forward day by day.
Yes. Any Checkfront field that the bridge maps to wp_postmeta can be promoted to a column. Party size, dietary, accessibility, and pickup location are common additions.
Yes. Filter to today's bookings for a specific item and export to CSV with the columns you've configured. The CSV becomes the morning briefing sheet or feeds the guide app.
The Checkfront app is the source of truth and the customer-facing booking flow. SleekView is the WordPress-side operations grid for sites that already use the bridge: cross-item filtering, internal notes, role-based saved views, and a phone-friendly manifest for guides.
