You can choose to install a widget or express checkout link

    • Express Checkout - When clients click the Express Checkout Book Now button, they are redirected to your MyTime booking page. The Book Now button is free for everyone with a MyTime account.
    • Booking Widget - The client books directly on your website. When the client clicks on the widget, a popup will appear directly on your website, allowing clients to book (see examples below). Booking through a widget is free for merchants on Premium and Enterprise MyTime subscriptions, and costs $0.75 per transaction for businesses without a Premium subscription.
