I am fairly new to Wix as a developer and have previously been at Squarespace for quite a while.
Really pleased with the move but still getting to grips over here.
I am also a coding novice.
How do I add something small in code (like a button or feature with external link) in the correct location.
I can’t figure out how to do this on Wix.
One of my customers uses a third party booking system.
I want to add the booking selection and review link to the new website. Where the customer chooses the dates they require and then it opens up the booking system site.
I know it will be simple and I have the necessary code for the page and header but for the life of me I can’t work it out.
Can anyone talk me through it please?
To be honest, for now this is the level of coding I’ll be working with for now, so it would be so helpful to know how to do it properly.
Thanks so much.
What exactly do you want to add to the page? Is it a small script that has a button or some control? Or do you want to access a 3rd party service using http queries?
Both, I think?
They use an external booking system and their current website has two buttons which link to this. One button for booking date enquiries, one to show current reviews with a booking enquiry.
I want to add the same buttons onto the one I am building for them. The booking one in the body of the page. The review/booking one in the footer.
I’ll drop you a message with what I have.

You can’t embed HTML in a Wix Code page. You might want to consider using an HtmlComponent . For more information, see the article Working with the HTML Component in Wix Code .
The basics of an HTML component is to put any HTML code in it. You need to know the exact code to put there (which is not related to Wix Code)… We can’t really help with that.
A more secure way to handle web service requests is by using backend (server-side) code. Using backend code you can secure your passwords, API keys, and other secret information. The article Accessing 3rd Party Services explains how this is done. I recommend checking with the service provider to see if they provide a REST interface.
Thanks Yisrael. I’ll give it a go.
This is what the buttons look like on their current website:
This is where I want to put one of them on mine. I have currently embedded the booking link for now, but I know it can look better by using the code instead.
This is what I have to go with, if anyone can walk me through it to end up with something similar. I understand WIx can’t. TIA
