The booking widget isn't appearing

Nine times out of ten the venue is not live yet and the code is fine. Check that first, then the block type, then whether your site strips scripts.

Check these in order

  • You can see the code itself on the page. It went into a text block rather than a code block. WordPress wants a Custom HTML block, Squarespace a Code block, Wix Embed a widget.
  • Nothing at all, not even a gap. Your site may have stripped the <script> tag on save — some builders and security plugins do. Reopen the page in the editor and check the code is still there.
  • It works in the editor but not on the live site, or the reverse. Squarespace in particular shows a placeholder while editing. Always judge from the published page in a normal browser tab.
  • A short box with a scrollbar. The widget did load. Wix especially needs the element given a generous height on the canvas; it will not always grow to fit.
  • The snippet was retyped or edited. Paste a fresh copy from SettingsBranding & embed rather than repairing it by hand.

If there is still nothing

Open the Direct link from the same screen in a new tab. That separates the two possibilities cleanly:

  • The link works, the embed does not — the problem is on your website, in how the code was pasted.
  • The link does not work either — the problem is the venue, not the website. Almost certainly it is not live.

And if your site simply will not allow custom code, put the direct link on a button. It works everywhere and costs only the guest leaving your page.
