How to Add a Booking Widget to Carrd

2 min read

A Carrd booking widget lets guests check availability and book without leaving your site, and without paying anyone a commission. Mangobeds gives you the widget as a single <script> snippet, which drops straight into a Carrd Embed element.

The widget also carries the AI booking assistant, so visitors who are not ready to book can ask about dates, prices and house rules and leave you a booking lead instead of leaving the page.

Step 1: Copy your embed code

  • Navigate to Booking Forms: In your Mangobeds dashboard, go to the Forms section.
  • Select Your Booking Form: Choose the booking form you want to embed.
  • Copy the Embed Code: Click on the Insert in my web button. This copies the full Mangobeds widget code, a small <script> snippet, to your clipboard.
  • Paste the Code on Your Website: Insert this snippet into the HTML of your website where you want the booking form to appear. The widget loads the form, resizes it automatically, and enables the AI booking assistant chat. The snippet looks like this:

<script async data-form-id="BOOKINGFORMID" src="https://www.mangobeds.com/js/widget/booking-form.js"></script>

Important: do not embed the booking form as a bare <iframe> on its own. If you copy only the iframe (for example <iframe src="https://www.mangobeds.com/booking-forms/..."></iframe>), the form may still appear, but the widget features will not work: the AI booking assistant chat will not load, and the form will not resize correctly on your page. Always paste the full <script> widget code shown above so these features load.

Step 2: Paste it into Carrd

  1. In the editor, click + and add an Embed element where you want the form.
  2. Set Type to Code and paste the full <script> widget code into the box.
  3. Set Style to Responsive so the form has room to grow.
  4. Click Save, then Publish. The Embed element needs a paid Carrd Pro plan and does not render in the editor preview.

If the Carrd booking widget does not appear

Check three things, in this order. First, that you pasted the full <script> snippet and not a bare <iframe>. Second, that your site is on a Carrd Pro plan, since the Embed element is not available on the free tier. Third, that you are looking at the published site: Carrd does not render embeds in its editor preview.
