Add the Book 24/7 Widget and start booking clients and selling items from your personal website, in addition to selling services from the Vagaro online booking page!
To get started, follow these steps:
- Click Marketing at the top of the screen.
- Click Add Widget.
- Once you get to the widget builder, you can change the appearance of it to your liking. Click Save at the bottom of the screen to copy the embedded code and add it to the website. Then you're good to go!
Let's get started!
1. Click Marketing.
2. Click Add Widget.
3. Select the tabs you want to include in the widget. A light blue color means the option has been chosen and will be visible on your widget. For example, if a client selects the Services tab, the client will be able to see the services you're offering and make a booking.
4. Click on the drop-down under Open this tab at launch to select the tab you see first when you launch the widget.
5. This option appears if you have the multi-location setup. Click the drop-down to make the selection. This allows you to pick the location that will be listed on the widget as the main location.
6. Toggle the Display Vagaro App option if you want to display a button that allows customers to download the Vagaro App. This button appears at the bottom of the widget.
7. Click the Button Color square to customize the button color of the widget.
8. Click the arrow. Then drag it to the color you prefer. Click OK when you're finished.
9. Enter a Header of your choice in the box. The header will appear above the widget.
10. Select the widget type. If you click In Website, the widget will function as a traditional website when you select one of the Widget Tabs. If you select Popup, the widget will generate a pop-up window when you select one of the Widget Tabs. If you click New Tab, the widget will generate a new tab on the web browser.
11. Thanks to our Preview window, you can get a sense of the look and feel of the widget on the customer's desktop or phone before creating it. You also save time by adjusting the design as often as needed before launching the final widget.
12. Click on the Computer option to get a feel for how the widget appears on a computer or the desktop.
13. Once you select the Computer tab, select one of the Widget Tabs to get an idea of how the page appears. For example, you can see how the Services page displays on the widget when the Services tab is selected.
14. You can also see how the widget displays on a mobile device. To do this, click Mobile.
15. Click Save once you’re happy with the design.
16. Copy the embedded code. Click the Copy Code button. Then paste the code on the preferred location on the website.
You can manually select the code if the Copy Code function does not display or copy properly. In this case, select the whole code with your mouse. Right click. Click Copy. Then right click again to add the code to the site.
17. Once you're finished, click OK. You're all set!

This is not working, comes up as an error after choosing an icon! Has anyone else had this problem?
Same problem here, walk through the whole series of steps to get an error code within the embedded message. Please resolve.

I received this message with Chrome, Safari and Firefox
We have a widget and it's working fine. But I would like a way to have a link bring me to the gift certificates tab. Also, We have a massage therapists and an esthetician. I would like a way for a link to bring me to the middle of the page so if someone wants to book a facial they don't have to scroll through all the massage services to get there. I guess I'm talking about an anchor. Or having separate widgets for what I want to go to?
Is there a way to change the code to vary the look of the widget? I don't care for the giant V. I have had many client not know that is the link because it looks like an external ad.
My web designer was receiving help through email and no one has responded to her last reply at agirlandhermac@gmail.com
She was able to build the vagaro widget (pick the colors, fonts, etc) and it walked through to the end where it said to paste [vagaro_booking_widget] into the page, but the booking widget is not showing up on the page.

When using the embedded code why is it redirecting to another link from my mobile device? The whole point for embedding was to keep clients from dealing with a whole bunch of extra steps
Do you have a responsive version of either this widget or the Wordpress version? Also, I can't find anywhere that lists the WP shortcode options. Thanks!
Please, I am begging you...please allow me to create individual booking widgets by provider that they can add to their websites. I would also like to put a widget on their individual page on the salon website. If the customer already knows their stylist they should not have to go searching for them through the whole team. I have been asking for a couple of years now!!
why would you do this?

add a hyperlink for a new people accessing the embed site.

Hi Joey. I went to your site (https://www.catchybeauty.com/service/) and clicked on the "Book Now" button and it looks like the widget is working properly. Just in case, here's the embedded code for your widget:
<div id='frameTitle' class='embedded-widget-title' style='font-size: 23px; color: #333;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height:24px; padding: 18px 10px 8px; text-align: center; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box;'>Book Now</div>
<div class="vagaro" style="width:250px; padding:0; border:0; margin:0 auto; text-align:center;"><style>.vagaro a {font-size:14px; color:#AAA; text-decoration:none;}</style><a href="https://sales.vagaro.com/">Powered by Vagaro</a> <a href="https://sales.vagaro.com/salon-software">Salon Software</a>, <a href="https://sales.vagaro.com/spa-software">Spa Software</a> & <a href="https://sales.vagaro.com/fitness-software">Fitness Software</a><script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.vagaro.com//resources/WidgetEmbeddedLoader/OZqnCJ0qCpacT3qmV35y79oz34mC2PeFJ4mC30m9cyUeJUtjP0dDxkJEvwPapWUep2sERAJDXwOW?v=2yWMX2yhXKJczHRs3kYb4z2MPEspw5lXanOngWeipHSG#"></script></div>
If you need to, feel free to copy this code and paste it to your site.
Hello everyone,
Is anyone here getting a issue with their embed widget on their website working sometimes and at moments not work?
Has anyone had clients calling and saying that the "Book Now" widget isn't working?
Hi Jae. Sorry to hear about this. We haven't had reported issues regarding this. Please email support@vagaro.com when you get a chance so one of our engineers can take a look at this.
Yes, I am a long time customer of Vagaro and love it! However, in the past 2 months, I have had numerous clients message me that online booking via the widget on my website is not working for them, via their laptops as well as via phone.
I tried updating the widget code into my website a few days ago, although it looks like it's the same code it has been for a while.
When I go to my site (and I've had friends try it too), via iPhone and MacBook, there hasn't been an issue.
I don't know what to tell clients.
Hi Kim. Copying the code again, adding it to the site and seeing if customers still have issues after this is a great first step. I believe this will fix the issue. If the issue still persists, please email support@vagaro.com for additional support.
