Booking Text Overrides

All of the text on the booking forms can be customised by setting new values in the Bookings Configuration End Point. You can copy and rename the default text to create multiple versions of these text overrides. When someone is scheduling an event the names of the text overrides appear in a drop-down on the form and the user can pick which one they'd like to use.

The following screenshots show the various booking forms with the various property names. The "Default" set of values is also shown.

Multi-Language Sites

Bookings is fully internationalised and includes i18n tokens and translations for all of the fields below. If you don't set any overrides in this configuration, the default tokens will be used which can be managed in the usual way. You could also create overrides that provide new i18n tokens.

Make Booking Form

This is the first form displayed when someone books an event.

Top Banner

The elements in the top banner can be shown or hidden by setting the "extras" properties to true or false. The text used is set in the "topBanner" object.

Top Banner Overrides

Tickets and Details

These properties are found in the "ticketsAndBooking" section. Some elements, like ticketsAndBooking.tickets.increaseNumber (used for the + button when adding tickets) are not visible on the form but are available to accessibility tools like screen readers.

Tickets and Details Overrides

Check Your Booking

In this section of the form overrides also exist for a correctly entered discount code.

Check Booking Overrides

Payment Form

This form is linked to directly when a booking is made. Only one of the three possible buttons (pay online, pay offline or free/book now) will ever be shown.
