How to Use the Booking Module on Your Direct Booking Website

The Booking Module is a powerful feature that allows you to offer direct bookings on your existing website while maintaining seamless synchronization with your Holidu account. This guide will walk you through the integration process, enabling your guests to book securely and conveniently without leaving your site.

What is the Booking Module?

The Booking Module is an embeddable widget that brings secure transactions, automated booking processes, and a professional booking experience directly to your website. When guests book through your site, all information automatically syncs with your Holidu calendar, pricing, and guest management system, ensuring you never miss an opportunity and your availability stays current across all platforms.

How to Integrate the Booking Module

Step 1: Access Your Direct Booking Website Settings

Begin by logging into your Holidu Homes account. Once logged in, navigate to the "Direct Booking Website" section. From there, go to "Settings" and locate the "Booking Module" option in the menu.

Step 2: Enable the Booking Module

In the Booking Module settings, you'll find a toggle switch to enable this feature. Click the toggle to activate the Booking Module. You'll need to review and accept the terms and conditions associated with this service before proceeding. Make sure to read through these carefully to understand your responsibilities and the features available to you.

Step 3: Copy Your Code Snippet

Once you've enabled the Booking Module, a unique code snippet will be generated. This snippet contains all the necessary code to embed the booking functionality into your website. Copy this code carefully. You'll need to paste this snippet into the HTML of your existing website where you want the booking widget to appear. If you're not familiar with editing HTML, consider consulting with your web developer or hosting provider for assistance with the implementation.

Step 4: Select Your Preferred Languages

To ensure a consistent and professional experience for your guests, choose the languages in which you want the Booking Module to appear. Select options that match your website's language settings and your target guest demographics. This ensures guests can interact with the booking interface in their preferred language, improving the overall user experience and potentially increasing conversion rates.

Step 5: Save Your Settings

After selecting your preferred languages and confirming all settings, click the "Save" button. Your Booking Module is now active on your Direct Booking Website. Guests can now book directly through your site while everything remains synchronized with your Holidu calendar, pricing, and availability.
