How to Use the Booking Module on Your Own Website

What is the Booking Module?

The Holidu Booking Module is a powerful tool that allows you to integrate secure booking functionality directly into your existing website. If you already have your own website, you can embed this module to enable guests to book your property seamlessly while keeping availability, pricing, and all bookings perfectly synchronized with your Holidu account. This means your guests enjoy a smooth booking experience without leaving your site, and you maintain complete control over your inventory across all channels.

How to Integrate the Booking Module

Step 1: Access Your Direct Booking Website Settings

To get started, log in to your Holidu app and navigate to the Direct Bookings section:

1. Log in to your Holidu app
2. Click on "Direct Bookings" in the left-hand menu
3. Select "My Website and Widget"
4. Go to "Settings" and click on "Booking Module"

Step 2: Enable the Booking Module

Once you've accessed the Booking Module settings, you'll need to activate it:

1. Select "Booking Module" from the menu options
2. Toggle the switch to enable the Booking Module
3. Read and accept the terms and conditions by checking the required checkbox

Step 3: Copy the Code Snippet

After enabling the Booking Module, a unique code snippet will be generated for you. This code is what you'll embed into your website:

1. Copy the provided code snippet from the settings page
2. Paste this code into your website's HTML where you want the booking functionality to appear
3. The code can be placed anywhere on your site - on a dedicated booking page, your homepage, or a property listing page

Step 4: Select Your Preferred Languages

To ensure your website visitors have a consistent and seamless experience, choose the languages that match your website:

1. Review the available language options in the Booking Module settings
2. Select all languages that your website supports
3. This ensures your guests see the booking interface in their preferred language

Step 5: Save Your Settings

Complete the integration process by saving your configuration:

1. Click the "Save" button to apply all your settings
2. Your Booking Module is now active on your Direct Booking Website
3. Verify that the booking functionality appears correctly on your website
