Story Theme

In this tutorial, we will take you through how to add BookThatApp Booking Forms to the Story theme. Before you start, we recommend you take a backup of your current theme.

⚠️ Note: If your theme has recently been updated, some steps may require adjustment. 💾.

Please note that the booking form are available on the Business plans and above. Please write in to our support team to assist with the implementation.

⚡ Note on Widgets

Widgets are our newest type of booking form. We highly recommend using a widget over a classic booking form.

Our booking forms are available in the app for Business or higher subscriptions. Besides requiring no coding changes and having a more modern look that flows better with the theme, widgets also have more settings and better app performance compared to classic forms.

Since widgets require no coding changes, you can easily have many different types of widgets in your store to handle all types of booking scenarios.

If you have not tried out a widget yet, please see the following:
