How do I add my Calendly calendar to my store?
You now have several possibilities for the location of your calendar. Everything here will depend on the type of booking you’re offering.
Adding your calendar on the homepage or on a dedicated informative page
You can use WiziBlocks here.
Go to Content > Homepage Content or Your pages, depending on where you want to put your calendar. Then add a WiziBlock HTML Code to your page.
All you need to do is copy the HTML code from the "Inline Embed" option.
Adding your calendar on certain product pages
If you wish to add Calendly to your product listing, you can do so in 2 different ways:
- Inline embed
- Popup text
To do this, the option must be added to your long description.
Go to the Source mode of the long description block and copy the HTML code of the chosen option.
Adding a Popup Widget
With Calendly, you also have the option of adding a floating button that opens a popup on your entire store or selected pages.
To do this, you'll need to add the HTML code of the "Pop-up widget" option via script to your store, choosing the location yourself.
