Customization, Components & Events

Customizing the Widget

You can control both the floating button and the popup widget.

Example:

Bookingbird.initialize({
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  options: {
    button: {
      visible: true,
      text: "Reserve now",
      themeColor: "#FF3366",
      textColor: "#ffffff",
      position: "bottom-left"
    },
    widget: {
      width: 500,
      height: 700,
      borderRadius: 20
    }
  }
});

Widget Control Methods

Method

Description

You can call these methods after initialization — e.g. from a custom button click:

document.querySelector("#myButton").onclick = () => Bookingbird.open();

Web Components

Bookingbird offers native web components for direct embedding into your site.

Booking Page:

<bookingbird-page page-id="your-page-id" hide-navigation="true"></bookingbird-page>

Service:

<bookingbird-service service-id="your-service-id" width="400px"></bookingbird-service>

For automatic resizing, use:

window.parent.postMessage({ type: 'bookingbird-resize', height: 800 }, '*');
