Launching the shortcode generator
Back to topThe next step is to generate the shortcode to embed the Checkfront booking portal into a page within your website.
If you are still on the Setup screen, look for the next white box, Use. Click on the Launch Shortcode Generator button.
Alternatively, you can access the same Shortcode Generator through your Checkfront backend.
Go to Website Integration (Manage > Integrations > Website Integration) and click on the WordPress tile to access the code generator.
You notice a link to Show more options at the bottom of the page, just above the Generate Code button. These are slightly more advanced features, which we look at in a subsequent article in this series.
