HTML
Add HTML code below to each of your pages and replace “__INSTALLATION_URL__” with your own URL.
INSTALLATION_URL – it tells the widget where the software is installed and where to load it from. You can obtain this information from the URL which you use to login to booking admin panel.
a) If the login page URL is “https://your-domain.com/eto/login” then your installation URL is “https://your-domain.com/eto/“.
b) If the login page URL is “https://booking.your-domain.com/login” then your installation URL is “https://booking.your-domain.com/“.
Home:<iframe src="__INSTALLATION_URL__/booking/widget" id="eto-iframe-booking-widget" allow="geolocation" width="100%" height="250" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width:1px; min-width:100%; border:0;">This option will not work correctly. Unfortunately, your browser does not support inline frames.</iframe><script src="__INSTALLATION_URL__/assets/plugins/iframe-resizer/iframeResizer.min.js"></script><script>iFrameResize({log:false, targetOrigin:'*', checkOrigin:false}, "iframe#eto-iframe-booking-widget");</script>
Booking:<iframe src="__INSTALLATION_URL__/booking" id="eto-iframe-booking" allow="geolocation" width="100%" height="250" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width:1px; min-width:100%; border:0;">This option will not work correctly. Unfortunately, your browser does not support inline frames.</iframe><script src="__INSTALLATION_URL__/assets/plugins/iframe-resizer/iframeResizer.min.js"></script><script>iFrameResize({log:false, targetOrigin:'*', checkOrigin:false}, "iframe#eto-iframe-booking");</script>
My account:<iframe src="__INSTALLATION_URL__/customer" id="eto-iframe-customer" allow="geolocation" width="100%" height="250" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width:1px; min-width:100%; border:0;">This option will not work correctly.

Important! You must replace “__INSTALLATION_URL__” with your own URL in all widgets listed above to make it work.
The last thing you need to do is to update page URLs in booking software admin panel.

2. Update your website pages URLs, the ones you have created ealier on.
3. The last thing you need to do is to tick this option “Force widgets to be displayed in iframe”. This option will force the widgets to display only in your website instead of new page.
