I cannot change the email when book from Facebook
- When you use Facebook widget, the system perceives a customer as Facebook user and uses his/her data to fill in the details. Thus, by default it uses email under which Facebook is registered. Unfortunately, it is not in our competency to change this, you can try contacting Facebook support to clarify this issue.
1. With the help of our Wordpress plugin
- Installation

2. As a Widget: Wordpress.org allows accessing HTML only with the help of special plugins. You need to find the plugin that supports Javascript HTML and then insert the code to your website with the help of this plugin.

- 8. In “Menu Assignment” tab of the module settings choose “On all pages”.

Sometimes, websites (WordPress.com in particular) do not support inserting HTML Javascript code we use for our iFrame and button widgets. Then it can be useful to use a simple HTML button code to get your clients attention to go to your booking site at SimplyBook.me and make the appointment. Here is a simple code you can insert on your site or into your emails to link to your booking site at SimplyBook.me
<a href=”//image.simplybook.me/sheduler/manage” target=”_blank”><img src=”https://appointmentbookingsystem.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/book_button.jpg?w=660″ alt=”Booking button” width=”200″ height=”200″ /></a>
Now let’s look at the code closer and see its components and how it can be adjusted to your company.
What you can change:
- 1. image.simplybook.me/sheduler/manage – it is the link to your booking page. It can be found when you press “My booking website” in the upper right corner of your admin SimplyBook.me page. You need to insert your company name instead of “image”.
- 2. https://appointmentbookingsystem.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/book-now-button-1.png?w=660 – this is the link to the image of “Book now” button. You can choose the image that suits your website design.
- 3. alt=”Booking button” – this is the alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed. You can change the text “Booking button” to “Book now”, “Book here”, etc.
- 4. width=”200″ height=”200″ You can insert custom size of the image with the help of these functions.
5. Please note that all the other signs, symbols and spaces are very important for the proper functioning of the code.
If you use Wix, and if you want to add the possibility of bookings to your website we have the right solution for you!
Our iFrame widget allows you to connect the Wix website with SimplyBook.com and let your clients book right from the website both from their PC or from their mobile devices. This solution will make your booking process more convenient and easy.
To do this, please follow these simple steps:
- 1. Go to Wix App Store.
- 2. Enter “HTML” in the Search apps field.
- 3. Select “HTML iFrame/Embed” plugin.
- 4. Switch to “HTML code” mode.
- 5. Go to your SimplyBook.com admin page. Go to Settings → Bookings on Webpage or Facebook → Booking widget for your own website.
- 6. Press “Save Settings and get iFrame code”. Almost done, just few simple steps left!
- 7. Copy the code you received.
- 8. Insert the code into Wix iFrame plugin and Press “Update”. Remark that there is a “width=960” inside the code you paste into the HTML plugin. You may need to adjust the “960” number to some width that suits your website. You could try some numbers in the range from 500 to 960 and see what fits best. You can do these changes directly in the code that you pasted in the HTML plugin.
Congratulations! Now you have the best booking system on your Wix website!
