==Add booking Widget to your web site ==
Go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->BOOKING WIDGETS to generate the code for your booking widgets.
 


== Troubleshooting ==
=Deposit Collection Direct Bookings=
Set the deposit amounts that can be used with Booking types.


When a long page inside an <b>iframe</b> changes to a shorter page, the guest viewing the page might be left at the bottom looking at what appears to be a <b>blank page</b>.
=Booking Types - Direct Bookings =
Select the Booking type for 'Normal Bookings', 'Near Term Bookings' and 'Exceptional Period Bookings'


=Allow Cancellation by Guest - Direct Bookings =
Set if you allow the guest to cancel their bookings.


Note: Iframes on mobile devices are problematic. Make sure you have following code in the <head>: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">. If you use the booking page in an Iframe we recommend you set up a special mobile page for the page where you have embedded the Iframe which opens the booking page in a new page instead of an Iframe.
=Booking Widgets=
Our widget designer allows you to create your own custom widgets which you can add to your web site.
