Personalize your domain
- You can register a free domain with the Lodgify's yearly or bi-yearly plans
⚠️ Important: double-check the spelling. You cannot change the domain name after the registration. - Or you can link an existing domain: if you already own a domain (e.g with GoDaddy, Namecheap etc), you can link it to Lodgify.
External website
For your external website (such as Wordpress, Wix etc), you will be able to integrate Lodgify's booking engine on it using the following options, which can be combined:
- “Booking box" widget/button: Here is a website that uses that button.
- "Search box": Here are some websites that use this bar:
- You just need to go to Menu → Website Builder → Settings → External widgets and choose the option you prefer. Then, you must generate and copy the embed code and paste it into your external site website.
- We recommend you to also change your logo and customize the design under Menu → Website Builder → Design, so that it looks more similar to your main website.
