How do I add the booking system to my website?
Add a “Book now” link or button that opens your booking page; there’s no embed code or plugin.
Setup and integrations
Adding booking to your own website takes a few minutes and no programming. What you add is a link or button that opens your 4appointments booking page. The tool doesn’t offer embed code, a plugin or an API at the moment, so the calendar opens on its own page rather than inside yours.
Copy your booking link in the panel using the copy button. The business has one link, and each provider has their own, so you can send visitors to the whole business or straight to one person’s calendar.
Add a button or link on your site. Every website builder and content system lets you link text or a button to an address, so use the wording that suits you, such as “Book now” or “Book an appointment”. Place it in the menu, the header and next to your services, so visitors see it wherever they decide.
Know what to expect. The booking page opens on 4appointments’ own address, not on your domain, and there’s no widget, iframe or script that places the calendar inside your page. If you need that, a link is currently the only route.
Make the target match the site. The booking page shows your business name, your logo (given as a web address) and your primary color, all set under Branding, so choose a color close to your site’s own. Then test it from a phone: open your site, click the button and make a test request, then confirm or reject it in the Bookings section. The language of the page depends on the link, so check it before you publish the button.

Common questions
Can I change the color of the booking button to match my site?+
The button belongs to your website, so you style it with your own tools. The color of the booking page itself is set under Branding in the panel.
Can I embed the calendar inside my own page?+
No. There’s no widget or iframe, so the calendar always opens on the 4appointments page that your link points to.
