Hi all – today we’re launching a brand new feature within BookingBug, the ability for you to change the wording and terminology within the widget and across the site to suit your business type or industry.

It’s something we’ve had many requests for through our BookingBug Community Feedback Forum, so we are really please to be able to now offer all BookingBug users this extra level of customization.

You can find the setting to change the wording within your account in: Accounts > Settings > Terminology.

Here you’ll see where you can change the basic words in your account (Common Translations) and a whole series of other words and phrases that appear through the booking process that you might want to tailor to better suit the kind of terminology used day-to-day in your industry.

Just select the set phrases you would like to change, type in your preferred wording and hit update. That’s all there is to it.

For example:

• A B&B may want to change days to nights
• A beauty salon may want to change person to therapist
• If you’re selling gift certificates, you may wish to change click here if you are not the attendee to is this experience a gift for someone else?
• A sports centre may want to change resource to tennis court

You get the picture…

Essentially, we want to make the booking experience for your customers as smooth and simple as possible – and at the core of that is communication, and giving you the flexibility to use the terms and phrases that you, your staff and your customers are most comfortable with.

It’s also worth nothing that this is just our first iteration of this terminology tool – so if there’s any additional words or phrases that you can’t see within this list that you would like to be able to customize, just let us know and we will get them added to the system.

That’s all for now!

Team BookingBug.
