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>. Read this help document to learn about solutions for this problem:

Set the deposit amounts that can be used with Booking types.

=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.
