1&1 Website Booking Calendar
You can easily embed an online booking calendar into your 1&1 website. Clients can then book appointments and pay an up-front payment directly within your website. This is done by copying & pasting in 2 parts of code. Here are the steps:
- First up, log in to your Bookedin web account
- Go to Settings > Integrate then under Website Booking Calendar you'll see some options. Choose a font and theme/background color using the drop-down menus. If you want to use a custom color, just choose the custom theme and use the color-picker or enter a HEX value.
- When you're happy with the fonts/colors, select and copy the first part of the code. See below.
- In a new browser window, open your 1&1 MyWebsite Editor. Once you're logged in, hit the Edit your 1&1 MyWebsite button.
