You can use the Booking forms editor to customize the information that you want to collect from your Customers during the booking process. You can choose the questions on the Booking form and the order that they're presented in.

If you are working with multiple Booking pages, you can create a different Booking form for each Booking page. If your business needs are the same for all of your Booking pages, or if you're only using one Booking page, you can create one Booking form. 

In this article, you'll learn about creating and editing a Booking form. 

Accessing the Booking forms editor

To access the Booking forms editor, go to Booking pages in the bar on the left. On the left, select Booking forms editor.

Default Booking form settings

When you open the Booking forms editor for the first time, you'll see the default Booking form (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Default Booking form

The default Booking form includes the following fields:

• Subject (Conditional field)
• Your name
• Your email
• Your mobile phone
• Location (Conditional field)
• Your note

When you create a new Booking form, these six fields will be included. You can remove most of these fields and add others as needed. 

Creating a new Booking form

There are three ways to customize the Booking form: Editing the Default Booking form, creating a new Booking form, or copying and editing an existing Booking form. 

Editing the Default Booking form

If you want every Booking page on your account to use the same Booking form, this is a good option. This ensures that Users will not accidentally select the wrong Booking form.

Creating a new Booking form

To create a new Booking form, click the New Booking form button (Figure 2) in the Booking forms menu on the left hand side of the page. The new Booking form will have the Default Booking form settings. This is a good option if you want to start from scratch.

Copying an existing Booking form

To copy an existing Booking form, click the Copy button (Figure 3) in the Booking forms menu on the left hand side of the page. The new Booking form will be an exact copy, which you can customize further as needed. This is a good option if you've already created a Booking form that you like and want to edit it slightly.
