Customize and install the Showpass guestlist widget to allow customers to sign up for guestlists directly from your site
The Showpass Guestlist Widget easily integrates your events into your website, allowing customers to sign up for guestlists directly from your site. The widget is customizable and automatically updates with your events allowing you to incorporate your branding and save time on website edits.
Once logged in, head over to the Dashboard, click the hamburger menu in the top left corner, then select Widgets at the bottom of the list. It is also found here: https://www.showpass.com/dashboard/widgets/editor/
**Please note you need to have the Manage Widgets permissions enabled in order to be able to access this section.
Once you are on the widgets page, click the Book Guestlist button.
Basic Info
Name
Enter a name for your widget (something related to your organization and event) as this will be used to identify where each request came from.
Time
Choose the default time that each request will set to, as the widget does not allow users to select a time.
For example, if someone enters their information in the widget requesting a guestlist for Friday June 1, 2018, and it is approved, the guestlist time will be set to whatever you chose as the default time.
**Once you set the name and default time, you are required to save your widget in order to complete the next steps. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click save.
