How to add Trafft to your website
Trafft is a booking platform for service businesses with multiple staff and locations, used by salons, clinics, agencies and multi-location service businesses. Here's how to put it on your own website, which embed option to pick, and what goes wrong.
Quick answer
Get the code from your Trafft dashboard under the booking page or embed settings, where a code snippet is generated. For most people the right choice is the embed code — a script that renders the booking form inline. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site — not a plain text field — then place it beside your main call to action and test the whole flow on a phone before relying on it.
Trafft: which option to use
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Embed code | A script that renders the booking form inline. |
| Booking page link | A hosted page you can link to from a button. |
| Employee or location links | Deep links filtered to a specific staff member or branch. |
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
Trafft keeps this in your Trafft dashboard under the booking page or embed settings, where a code snippet is generated. Copy what you need before touching your website — most of the time people lose is spent hunting for the snippet, not installing it.

Pick the right option for the job
The table above is the decision. Embed code: A script that renders the booking form inline. Booking page link: A hosted page you can link to from a button. Choosing before you paste saves rebuilding the section later.

Paste it into a code or embed block
This needs an HTML, code or embed block — not a plain text field, where the code will simply appear as text on your page. On Adviita, ask the AI editor to add an embed section and drop the code in. On WordPress use a Custom HTML block, on Squarespace a Code block (Business plan or above), and on Wix an Embed HTML element.

Put it where the decision happens
Booking is the action your site exists to produce, so this belongs above the fold, not below your gallery. A widget three scrolls down does a fraction of the work of the same widget beside your main call to action. Decide what the page is for, then place it at the point the visitor is deciding.

Check it on an actual phone
Most visitors to a small business website arrive on a phone, and embeds are where mobile layouts break. Open your live site on your own phone and confirm it loads, fits the screen without sideways scrolling, and does not push your contact button out of view. Third-party embeds are also the most common cause of a slow page, so if it noticeably delays loading, consider a plain link instead.

Test it end to end before you rely on it
Run through the whole flow yourself as a customer would — complete a real booking — and confirm what should happen actually happens. Broken embeds fail silently, and the first person to notice is usually a customer who has already given up.
Tips & best practices
- ▸With multiple locations, always link to the specific branch from that branch's page — making customers pick a location they already chose loses bookings.
- ▸Trafft's embed inherits some of its own styling; check it against your site's colours and fonts and adjust in Trafft's appearance settings rather than fighting it with CSS.
- ▸Services need to be assigned to employees with working hours set, or they appear unbookable.
- ▸Re-test the embed after any change to your site, your plan, or the connected account — third-party widgets break quietly and nothing tells you.
Common questions
How do I embed Trafft booking on my website?
+−
In your Trafft dashboard, open the booking page or embed settings and copy the generated snippet. Paste it into a custom code block on your site. If you have several locations or staff, generate filtered links so each page on your site sends people to the right calendar.
Can Trafft handle multiple locations?
+−
Yes, that is one of its main strengths. Each location can have its own staff, services and hours. On your website, link each location page to that location's filtered booking link rather than to a generic form, so customers do not have to re-select where they are.
Do I need a developer to add Trafft to my site?
+−
No. Every option here is copy and paste into a code or embed block, which every mainstream website builder provides. The only genuine blocker is a builder or plan that does not allow custom code at all — Squarespace, for instance, requires a Business plan or above for code blocks.
Will adding Trafft slow down my website?
+−
Any third-party embed has some cost, because it loads code from another company's servers. One is usually unnoticeable; four or five on the same page is where small business sites become visibly slow. If page speed matters to you, prefer a plain link over a script wherever the option exists, and keep embeds to the pages that genuinely need them.
