How to Add a Booking Widget to Strikingly

2 min read

A Strikingly 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 Strikingly HTML section.

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 Strikingly

  1. In the editor, click Add New Section.
  2. Choose App Store & HTML → HTML.
  3. Paste the full <script> widget code into the section and save.
  4. Click Publish. HTML sections need a paid Strikingly plan and only run on the published site.

If the Strikingly 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 paid plan, since the HTML section is not available on the free tier. Third, that you are looking at the published site: Strikingly does not run embedded scripts inside its own editor.
