**It is important to note that you will need to re-embed the widget on your website once you update the setting.**


Installing Packages on the Widget as an Entire Page


Once configured, your package purchases can be embedded on your website as a button or an entire page without a pop-up. 


  1. Copy the generated embed code
  2. Paste the iframe code into your website’s HTML. You can add it to a dedicated booking page or within an existing page
  3. A web developer can help adjust size, width, or positioning to fit your site layout.

Display Notes:


On Desktop: The widget will display in a wide format.


On Tablet/Mobile: The widget automatically adjusts to fit narrower screen sizes


If you update the widget settings later (e.g., add Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or Custom CSS), a new URL may be generated. In that case, you’ll need to re-embed the updated code.
