A booking widget is a tool that you can use to allow your customers to make bookings with your yourself.
Allow your customers to access your booking widget where ever they interact with your business, whether that be on your website, social media, emails or SMS.
🧐 What does embedded mean?
When a booking widget is embedded, it means that your customer will be able to view it on the main body of your website (compared to popover which takes the form of a book now button which reveals the booking widget once clicked on).

🔖 How to add the widget to your website
Once the widget is created, you can copy the embed code:
