With custom fields, you can add your own additional questions to your booking form, ensuring you always collect the right information from your renters. Think of special requests, address details, or whether a guest is bringing pets.
Tip: Always ensure you are making changes to the correct calendar. The form is unique to each individual calendar!

Already created a calendar? → Proceed to step 3.

In the menu, click on Plugins and choose Booking Form. On this page, you will see two columns:

Message
At the bottom of the left column (Form Settings), you will find the heading Add custom fields.
Here, you will see the standard input fields: Name, Type, Width, Required checkbox.
Enter Name: Give the field a logical name that is clear to your renter.
Examples: First Name, Address Details, Postal Code.
Choose Type: Select the type of field you want to add.
See all options in the guide: "All available field types".
Set Width: Choose a width between 1 and 12.

Add: Click the blue button "Add".
The field will immediately appear in the preview form (right column).
Save: Click the green button "Save" to finalize your changes.
