2 External Pictures

Alternatively or additionally you can use externally hosted pictures. All you need to do is enter the picture URL in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->EXTERNAL.

  • External pictures have to be hosted securely (https NOT http).
  • External pictures are used as they are. They can not be resized.
  • If you are using a third party service you need to make sure your pictures are publicly available.
  • Make sure to use the URL to the actual picture not the place where the picture is stored.

If your web site has SSL you can host your pictures on your own web site. If not you can use a service like imgur.com which allows you to host pictures.

You can find information on the internet on how to host pictures which you want to embed on a web site.

Note: You can only use a direct link to the image itself. Linking to a storage location is not possible
