Still on WordPress? The Booking Widget Works There Too
You don't have to move your site to use our booking widget. It is one snippet, pasted into a Custom HTML block.
Not everyone thinking of leaving WordPress is ready to move, and you don’t have to move to use our tools. The booking widget is a snippet of code, so it works on any site that lets you paste one in, WordPress included.
Set it up
- Create a free account at app.statichost.uk.
- Go to Bookings and choose New booking config. Set the meeting length, your working hours and timezone, the gap between bookings, how far ahead people can book, the addresses that receive each booking and your brand colour.
- Add your calendar’s ICS feed from Google, Apple or Outlook. Your busy times are blocked out, refreshed every 15 minutes.
- Copy the snippet.
You can show it as a full calendar inside the page, or as a button that sits in the corner of every page and opens the calendar in a window. The booking documentation has the detail.
Add it to WordPress
Edit the page where bookings should go, add a Custom HTML block, paste the snippet and publish. On your own WordPress install, an administrator can do this.
On WordPress.com it depends on your plan. Scripts are only allowed on plans that support plugins, once hosting features are switched on (WordPress.com support).
What your visitors get
A calendar of open slots in your colours. They choose one, fill in their details, and you both get a confirmation email with a calendar invite. Switch on kMeet and every booking gets its own video room, with no account needed on either side. Altcha keeps bots out without asking anyone to solve a puzzle.
The widget loads nothing from other companies, and visitor data stays on our servers in the UK.
Free, and what Plus adds
Every account gets one booking widget with your own calendar, free. Bookings Plus, at £20 a site a month, adds your team: up to 10 people, each with their own calendar, with bookings shared out in turn or chosen by the visitor.
If you do move your site later, the widget comes with you. The same snippet works on a static site.
