Platform / Widgets

Under Settings > Platform / Widgets, you configure your external booking platform and the associated widgets. ↗ Open in Locaboo

The settings are spread across six tabs: General, Colours & fonts, Settings, Legal notices, Success messages, and Languages.

Use the Go to widget list button (top right) to open your widget overview directly.

General

Here you configure the basic information for your booking platform.

Activate platform

Your booking platform is enabled by default. Clear the checkbox if you do not want online booking by customers or staff.

Title & headline

Setting	Description
Title	The name of your platform – usually your organisation or company name (e.g. “City of Sternfeld”).
Headline	The main headline shown above the description text on the home page (e.g. “Welcome!”).

URL

The platform URL is the link where your booking platform is reachable (e.g. https://booking.locaboo.com/de/hannahschuetze). You can share this URL with customers or link it from your website.

Description

Formatted text shown on the platform home page. Use this area for general information or notes about your booking offer. The text can be formatted with the built-in rich text editor.

Custom headings

Instead of the default headings, you can define your own text for different areas of your platform:

Heading	Description
Heading “All bookable offers”	Title above the resource overview on the home page.
Heading “All bookable slots”	Title above the slot view.
Heading “Locations”	Title above the location overview.
Heading “Views”	Title above the widget / views overview.

Visibility on the platform

Setting	Description
Widgets	Which widgets are visible on the booking platform. Visibility of individual widgets can be restricted further per customer group in the widget settings.
Resources	Which resources are shown on the platform. Visibility can be restricted further per resource via availability.
Locations	Which locations are visible on the platform.

Colours & fonts

Here you adjust the appearance of your booking platform and widgets to match your corporate design.

Font

Setting	Description
Font	Name of the font used (e.g. “Source Sans Pro”).
Link to font	URL to a web font, e.g. from Google Fonts.

Colours

You can customise colours for links, text, background, and primary and secondary buttons individually. All colours are entered as hex values (e.g. #007041).

Setting	Description
Link colour	Colour for hyperlinks.
Text colour	Default colour for body text.
Background colour	Platform background colour.
Primary colour	Primary accent colour (e.g. for highlights).
Primary button colour	Background colour of primary buttons.
Primary hover colour	Background colour of primary buttons on hover.
Primary button text colour	Text colour on primary buttons.
Secondary button colour	Background colour of secondary buttons.
Secondary hover colour	Background colour of secondary buttons on hover.
Secondary button text colour	Text colour on secondary buttons.

Settings

Here you configure platform behaviour and appearance in detail.

Default view

Defines which view customers see by default when they open a booking widget:

Option	Description
Calendar	Calendar view with day, week, or month. Customers see occupancy for all resources at a glance and can book a free slot with one click.
List	List view of available booking slots. Useful when you have many resources or when customers search for free times specifically.

Logo & hero images

Setting	Description
Logo	Your logo for the booking platform. It appears in the header of the home page. Use Crop to adjust the image area without changing the original file.
Hero images	Header images shown as large imagery on the platform home page. You can upload several images – they are shown as a gallery. Use the red bin icon to remove individual images.

Show booking requests

When this checkbox is enabled, open booking requests are shown in the platform calendar like regular bookings. Other customers can see that a slot has been requested.

Important: If two customers book the same slot at the same time, no conflict occurs – it remains a request that can still be confirmed or declined.

Allow guest orders

When enabled, customers can book without a customer account as guests. No registration or login is required. The guest only enters contact details during booking.

Hides the Invoices menu item in the customer account on the booking platform. Logged-in customers no longer see the invoice overview.

General invoicing and sending invoices by email are not affected – only the display in the customer account is suppressed.

Allow €0 bookings without checkout

When enabled, free bookings (€0) can be completed without the checkout flow. Customers go straight to confirmation without the cart and payment page.

Useful when you offer resources at no charge and want the booking process to be as simple as possible.

Direct reservation

With direct reservation, a booking slot is temporarily blocked as soon as a customer adds it to the cart. That reduces the chance of two customers booking the same slot at once.

Setting	Description
Direct reservation	Enables temporary blocking of slots in the cart.
Reservation countdown	Duration in minutes for how long a slot stays reserved in the cart. The countdown is visible to the customer. When it expires, the slot is released automatically.

Show customer selection

When enabled, a customer selection is shown in the widget. Customers can then view bookings for a specific customer.

Show damage report

When enabled, a button to report damage appears in the customer’s booking list. Customers can report damage for past bookings and add images and a description.

Incoming damage reports are available under Communication > Damage reports. Users with the appropriate permission receive an email notification.

Access security

Define how customers must authenticate on your booking platform. This controls whether the platform is public or requires registration or login.

Option	Description
No login required	The platform is open to everyone. Anyone can view resources and availability and book (depending on availability settings) – without registration or login.
Login only	Only existing customers with login credentials can use the platform. Self-registration is not possible – customers must be created and invited in advance.
Registration (without confirmation) or login	New customers can register themselves and book immediately. No manager approval is required. Existing customers sign in as usual.
Registration (with confirmation) or login	New customers can register but must be approved by a manager or user before they can book. Use this when you want to control who gets booking access.

Legal notices

Enter your legal texts here. For each text you can either set a link to an external website or enter the text directly in the rich text editor.

Legal text	Fields
Privacy policy	Link to privacy policy + text field
Terms and conditions	Link to terms + text field
Cancellation policy	Link to cancellation policy + text field

Use the globe icon to store a separate translation of the legal texts for each enabled language.

Success messages

Define the texts customers see after completing a booking. Each booking type has its own field with rich text editor:

Message	Shown when
Widget success message (booking request)	Bookings submitted as requests that still need confirmation.
Widget success message (instant booking)	Bookings that are confirmed immediately (instant booking).
Widget success message (instant booking + booking request)	Bookings that contain both instantly confirmed slots and request slots (e.g. multi-resource bookings with different availability settings).

Languages

Define which languages are available on your booking platform. Customers can switch the language on the platform themselves.
