Documentation | Pricing Features Embed and display widgets Create widgets for any number of resources and embed them on pages of your website using shortcodes. Show the widget inline, as a popup or in a right‑side panel by selecting the display option in the widget settings. Organise resources into a catalog with nested groups so customers can browse categories and choose what to book. Display multiple resources on one calendar by switching the widget to Calendar mode. Change widget design Choose a light or dark theme and set a primary colour. For full control, edit the widget’s CSS using BEM classes. Add validation and dynamic UI Display warnings or reminders only when specific conditions are met. Hide or show fields based on selected options using reactions. Localize your widgets Choose from 30 localizations, or translate the widget yourself by customizing any text. You can also set any currency, time zone, and date or time format to match your local preferences. Create message templates Design custom email templates with any order data you need. These can range from simple text emails to beautiful, responsive HTML templates. You can create as many templates as you like and use them to send messages to customers, employees, or yourself to stay updated on order events. Emails to customers can be sent from your company address and signed with your domain’s DKIM. Build a custom order processing workflow Your orders can include multiple reservations, much like items in a shopping cart. Both orders and reservations have statuses that track each step of your business workflow. You can create as many statuses as you need. Create your own triggers to automate tasks such as sending notifications, changing statuses or sending web requests. Define conditions for trigger tasks based on order data (e.g., resource name, language, total amount or custom fields). Review orders conveniently Preconfigure tables to display any order data columns, with sorting and filters applied for a predefined period. You can also analyze your data by switching tables to calendar mode, allowing you to view orders across any time range – working hours, a week, a month, or even a full year. Configure employee access Create individual accounts for your employees with customized access permissions. For example, an employee can be restricted to specific tables, allowed to view or edit only certain orders, or authorized to run only specific triggers. Accept payments Integrate your own payment gateway using the Payment API. During the reservation process, you can charge the full amount or a partial payment, which can even be calculated dynamically based on the selected options. Block availability on the calendar Use rules with complex schedules, including start and end times that shift relative to the current moment. Block availability for one resource based on reservations of other resources. Automatically block time between reservations for tasks like refueling or cleaning. Block availability directly from the manager’s calendar. Enable 2-way synchronization with Google Calendar. Promote and engage Create promotions codes to apply percentage or fixed discounts. Generate single‑use voucher codes. Issue reusable discount cards with custom discount formulas. Use gift cards with a fixed value, reservation limit or usage periods. Mobile apps for managers Manage orders, check in visitors and scan QR codes using Bukza’s mobile apps for iOS and Android.
