Patients book more when the button is on your own site rather than a separate page. A link, a button or an embedded page: pick the one your website builder can take.

Open Settings, then Online Bookings, and go to Sharing. The Share & embed section gives you two things, each with a Copy button.

  • Direct URL is your booking page's address. Use it as a button on your website, in an email signature, in a social media profile, or in an SMS. It's the same page the embed shows, on its own.
  • Embed snippet is a short piece of code that shows the booking page inside a page of your own site, 800 pixels tall and the full width of wherever you put it. Paste it into the custom code or HTML block of whatever your website is built with; every site builder has one, usually under a name like Embed, HTML or Custom code.

Worth knowing

  • The address is permanent for your clinic, so a link printed on a card stays valid. Switching online bookings off doesn't break the link; visitors see your disabled-state message instead.
  • Changes you save on the Online Bookings page show on the embedded page at once; there's nothing to update on your website.
  • If the embedded page is cut off on phones, make the space your site gives it taller, or link to the Direct URL from a button instead.
  • Open the link yourself as a patient would after setting up. If something is missing, see Nothing is showing on my booking page.
