Keep your own site - the widget and the Google feed
Publishing a Stay N Host booking site is not all-or-nothing. If you already have a brand site you like, you can keep it and take only the part that has to be live: availability.
The embeddable widget
Section titled “The embeddable widget”One <script> tag on your existing WordPress, Squarespace or hand-built site renders an
availability search that hands the guest to your Stay N Host booking site with their
dates already carried over.
-
Open
/siteand find the embed snippet. -
Paste it into your own page where you want the search to appear.
-
Publish your own page. That is the whole installation.
What the widget does on your page, stated exactly, because it runs on a site whose visitors did not consent to us:
- It reads no part of your page outside its own container.
- It sets no cookie and stores nothing.
- It sends no analytics beacon.
- It loads no font, stylesheet or image from anywhere.
It collects dates and a party size and builds a link. Every value is re-checked on our side and every price is re-derived, so a visitor who edits the form in their browser achieves nothing they could not achieve by typing a different address.
The Google Vacation Rentals feed
Section titled “The Google Vacation Rentals feed”Your published properties can also be exposed as a Google Vacation Rentals property feed,
which is how Google learns your inventory exists. Turn it on from /site.
Which to choose
