Code snippets for the booking page are available in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE.
Customise Booking Page
The booking page can be embedded in a page using an iframe or opened with a link or form. It can be fully customised in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE. This page gives an overview. Additional options for developers are:
- Any fixed text on the booking page can be exchanged in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE ->DEVELOPERS "Custom Text"
- Custom CSS can be added in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE ->DEVELOPERS "Custom CSS"
- Javascript can be entered in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE ->DEVELOPERS"Advanced HTML Settings"
- The API can be used to develop custom applications and solutions.
- The behavior of the booking page can be controlled with the following parameters passed in the URL or form. URL Parameters are always added in the format name=value. To separate them, the first parameter must have a ? before it and all following parameters must have an & before them. For example if you want to change the default for the numbers of night selector to 7 nights you change the link to your booking page from
https://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=2047
to
https://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=2047&numnight=7
Example: hide header
https://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=2047
to
https://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=2047&hideheader=yes
Example: Make a booking page for selected rooms only
Use the propid to open the page and add &hideroom=22543 to hide a room. You can hide multiple rooms by comma separating them.

Customise Booking Widgets
Code snippets for booking widgets are available in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->BOOKING WIDGETS.
You can use HTML and CSS to create custom solutions.
Wordpress
If you use the Beds24 Wordpress plugin booking widgets and booking page can be added via a short code. Options and help regarding customisation can be found directly in the plugin settings.
Old booking page only:
|- | hidename || yes, no || Do not show the property name heading
|- | hidedesc || yes, no || Do not show the description
External CSS file
It is possible to make the booking page use a CSS file that you supply, you must host the CSS file on a secure web server (using https:).
To do this you need to add the &cssfile parameter to the URL for the booking page, or for example the iframe SRC.
You could do this to use different styling per page or site.
For example if your css file is: https://yoursite/path/your.css
Goto this site and encode it: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/
Add the resulting parameter to the booking page URL like this: &cssfile=https%3A%2F%2Fyoursite%2Fpath%2Fyour.css
Your CSS file will be included.
Note: The external stylesheet needs to be hosted on a secure site (https) to be accepted by the secure Beds24 booking page.
