Deep Linking Packages on the Booking Widget & Express Checkout

We provide the option to create a button or link that allows clients to add a specific package directly to their shopping cart for online purchases through your website. This article will guide you through the configuration process.

Things to know:

• The ability to deep link packages on the booking widget and express checkout page is governed by the "Accessing Website Tools" access control.
  
• To enable online purchases for packages, the following steps must be completed:
• A payment account must be set up to process card payments. If you do not have a payment account, please email processing@mytime.com for help.
• Your account must be live.
• In the package template, ensure that "Yes" is selected for the "Enable Online Purchase" setting.
• If you update the configuration, you must re-embed the widget on your website
