Booking Widget

The booking widget is an inquiry form you embed on your public website. Submissions land in Leads as cards on your board, and a lead converts to a renter in one click.

Installing it

Settings → Booking Widget generates a one-line script tag. Paste it into your website wherever you want the form.

<script src="https://app.fairground360.com/widget.js" data-token="YOUR_TOKEN"></script>

The script renders the form in an iframe that resizes itself to fit its content, so it works inside a fixed-width page without leaving a scrollbar or a gap.

It works on any site that lets you paste HTML — WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, a hand-built page. No plugin required.

Configuring the form

From the settings screen you control:

• Which fields appear and which are required
• The space picker — let inquirers say which part of the grounds they are interested in
• The date picker, with a "my dates are flexible" option
• Colors, so the form matches your site rather than ours
• Header text and the success message shown after submission
• Notification recipients — who gets emailed when something comes in

What happens on submit

1. The submission is checked against a hidden spam trap.
2. A lead is created on your board in the first stage, with the source recorded as the website.
3. A notification email goes to whoever you nominated.

Security

The embed is tied to a token. If the token is ever misused — scraped and posted somewhere it should not be — regenerate it from the settings screen. The old token stops working immediately, so remember to update the snippet on your site.

Making it convert

• Ask for less. Every required field costs you submissions. Name, email, event type, rough date, and a message is usually enough — you can ask the rest on the phone.
• Use the flexible-dates option. A lot of inquiries do not have a fixed date yet, and forcing one either produces a wrong answer or loses the lead.
• Put the space picker in if you have several distinct spaces. It tells you what they want before you call.
