Simple calendar view to show when rental property is booked?

Go to solution Solved by paul2009,

Hi there! We use squarespace for direct bookings of our rental property. These are done via a simple form submission. We manage our booking calendar manually and would love to display a simple calendar block that also shows when the property is booked/free. Any suggestions or solutions? It seems like now I would need to link each booking to a separate event, which would require its own page. I don't want to have to create event pages for each customer booking if I don't have to. Many thanks in advance for any assistance!

There are a number of third party solutions available that you can embed in your Squarespace website. For example, there are booking tools like Lodgify that allow users to book the property themselves online as well as many manual calendar services like Google Calendar.

If you want to use the tools built into Squarespace, you can create a hidden Events page to store the bookings. Simply add a new event for each confirmed booking (call it 'Booked'?). If you add a Calendar Block to a public page on your website, visitors will be able to see when it is booked and when it is free.

Please post back if you need more information.
