Managing introductory text

Anything you add here is displayed automatically above the booking portal for all Customers.

It's a great opportunity to highlight any special deals or important instructions you want your Customers to see. A simple welcome is also nice!

When pasting existing text into the text editor, the formatting is carried over in some instances.

There are two ways to remedy this if the behaviour is not wanted:

When you copy text from a different document, paste it into an external text editor and then paste this “plain text” into the Checkfront editor. This removes any of the font types or size styles attached.
You can remove carried-over text styles from within your current editor by directly editing the HTML as needed from the editor’s <> menu button.
