Embedding booking form on a Shopify website
To add the booking form to your Shopify website, follow these steps:
1 - Duplicate your live theme
Begin by making a duplicate of your current theme. This serves as a backup in case any changes need to be reverted.
- Navigate to "Online Store" > "Themes" in your Shopify admin panel.
- Under the "Current Theme" section, locate the "Actions" dropdown menu.
- Select "Duplicate" from the dropdown menu.
Shopify will take a moment to create a duplicate of your live theme.
2 - Edit code
- Go to your Let's Book dashboard and navigate to the embeds section.
- Copy the code provided in step 1 of the Let's Book embed setup.
- Now, head over to your Shopify admin panel.
- Click on "Online Store" and then select "Themes."
- Find your newly duplicated theme, select the Actions drop down
- Select Edit Code
3 - Edit theme.liquid and add your snippet
- Locate the theme.liquid file under the "Layout"
- Open the theme.liquid file and use CMD + F (Mac) or CTRL + F (Windows) to open the search bar.
- Enter "</head>" in the search bar (include the /).
- Be sure to include the / in </head>, without the / is <head> and this is the opening tag. If you put code above this, it won't work.
- This will take you to the closing tag, or the end of <head> section of your code. Generally, you want to put all your snippets, just above this closing tag.
Add your snippet by pasting it on the line directly above the </head> tag.
If there's code directly above it, just add in extra lines between them with the ENTER or RETURN key.
- Be careful not to overwrite or remove any other code. Removing a single < or > accidentally can actually cause the code (ie. your site) to no longer function.
- Hit Save
- You can also hit the 'Older versions' link that appears at the top if you need to rollback to a previous version of this file, in case something goes wrong.
4 - Preview & publish your theme
- Navigate to Online Store > Themes
- Find the Theme you've been working, select the Actions drop down
- Select "Preview" to see how your changes look.
- If everything looks good, hit "Publish" to make your changes live.
5 - Link to the booking form
- Go back to the Let's Book widget and scroll to 'step 2'.
- Generate the URL provided in the Let's Book widget. There are some smart customize options such as language, boat model, dock, etc.
- Now link you buttons / tekst to this url's. The booking form will automatically open on top of your website.
