Once you have set up your inventory, pricing, and reservation rules to your account. You're now ready to integrate the booking calendar into your website. This is a simple process that doesn't involve a technical background to achieve. We will discuss how below.
Access the Booking Calendar Code
The booking calendar is an HTML code within an iFrame. This technology allows you to embed the booking calendar into your own website to make for a seamless booking process for your customers. You'll find the code in your account by clicking on the Website tab.
On this page, you can access the link to your listing on WebReserv.com as well as customize, preview, and access the HTML code needed to add the calendar to your site.
WebReserv.com Listing
You can find the link to your WebReserv.com listing here. Having an account with WebReserv comes with a listing on our website. This listing allows customers to find and book with you directly from our site. It's fully integrated into your system, so when you get a booking, you'll enjoy the benefits of real time availability and automatic notifications.
