Booking widget

The booking widget is Gurita's online booking form for your own website: guests check availability, pick what they want and book, and the booking lands straight in Gurita.

How it works

Each widget has a short address, its slug, and lives at:

https://YOUR-DOMAIN/widget/<slug>

Everything about the widget — what it sells, its design, currencies, colours and texts — is stored in Gurita, not on your website. Your site only embeds the address. So you can re-theme a widget or change what it offers without touching your website again.

Staff set widgets up under Master Data → Booking Widgets. See Booking widgets in the user guide.

Ways to put it on your site

• Embed snippet — paste the snippet Gurita generates into any website. See Embed the widget.
• WordPress plugin — on WordPress, the Gurita Booking plugin embeds the widget for you and allows your site automatically. See Gurita for WordPress.
