  • Timezone display style — Short (PDT) or long (Pacific Daylight Time). See Timezone Display Style.
  • Plus the category browser, calendar prices, review stars, visitor currency, and booking summary at the top of experience pages toggles.

Selling & conversion​

Every change in this tab saves automatically.

Tab 2: Embed options​

Embed types​

This tab offers five named embed types, each with its own options and a live preview:

  • Full widget embed — your whole booking widget.
  • Product list — a list of bookable items.
  • Single product — one specific product or experience.
  • "Book now" button — a floating button that opens the widget on any page of your website.
  • Share a link — a direct link you can paste into emails, social posts, or a button.

Embed code​

The embed code is a small script loader, not an iframe. You'll get a <script> tag plus a short <div> (for example <div class="equipdash-widget" data-shop="..." data-view="full">). Paste both into your website where you want the widget to appear, then use the Copy code button.

For a single item, choose Single product and copy its snippet. To share a plain link instead of embedding, use Share a link.

See Embedding on Your Website for builder-by-builder instructions and the Floating Book Now Button guide.

Tab 3: Advanced settings​

Marketing & tracking​

Add Google Ads attribution and a conversion tag so you can measure widget bookings as conversions.

Section names​

Rename the headings shown on your product and experience pages so they match your shop's language.

Social sharing​

Tagline + share image for link previews on WhatsApp, Facebook, and X. This controls how your widget link looks when shared.

Guided wizards​

Optional guided booking flow for rentals and experiences.

  1. Under Rentals, toggle the wizard flow on for guided rental bookings.
  2. Under Experiences, do the same if you want a wizard for experiences.
  3. Optionally set up experience/skill levels to group items by ability.
  4. Use the Categories and Products/Experiences dropdowns under each level to assign items.

Changes save automatically. See Display Options for the full wizard guide.
