Please keep in mind that certain website-building tools embed custom code within an iframe (examples: Wix and GoDaddy). This can affect the behaviour of the Checkfront Booking Widget and prevent it from functioning correctly. |

The Checkfront Booking Widget does not work with Squarespace pages with Ajax loading. Not all Squarespace themes have Ajax loading and of those that do, not all allow you to disable the feature. Please reach out to Squarespace support to learn more about the feature and what is possible. |
