So we want to use the simplybooking UI for our customers booking, but there doesn’t seem to be a way of tracking this booking, meaning we cannot tie our users to the bookings automatically.

This is a similar issue to 91, but I’d like to have a clear suggestion, since this is clearly a common feature request.

I was hoping the “back to home” plugin would support a URL parameter, but that doesn’t seem to be possible.

Otherwise I could see hacking about an iframe+hidden field, or doing something devious with CSS cross loading but I’d really prefer not to. Perhaps something with cookies.

Would be great to get a canonical answer from your eng team.

So, user is on our website, logged in. User clicks button to simplybook, user books, simply book redirects back to website.

How do I know when/what the user’s booking is?

You can use API webhooks. Then check user by email. Or you can make API booking widget on your site. Then you will know everything and no need to redirect client to simplybook booking site.

But who knows what email the user will have put on their booking?

If we made an booking widget, wouldn’t we just use a standard library and bother with SB? Basically strips all of your value

It is always up to client which tools and libraries to use. Thank you for question and have a nice day.
