Integrate External Experiences with Booking Links

Would you like to promote an experience that’s bookable through an external system – such as a regional partner or a third-party spa booking tool?

With Giggle.tips, you can easily showcase external experiences – including a direct booking link and optional call function.

🎥 In this video, we walk you through the entire setup step-by-step:


✅ 1. When are external booking links useful?

This function is ideal when:

  • The booking is handled via another system (e.g. spa software, partner portal, table reservation tool)

  • You want to promote regional partner offers that don’t use Giggle

🧾 Example:
You want to promote your partner CulinaryCraftTours’ “Gin Experience” on your Giggle page, but the booking should happen on their own site.


⚙️ 2. Create an experience with an external booking link

1. Prepare the booking link

Ask your partner for the direct link to the booking page or event overview.

2. Open the experience in the CMS

  • Log in to your Giggle-CMS

  • Open an existing experience or create a new one

3. Enable booking for the experience

  • Scroll to Step 3: Is this experience bookable?

  • Toggle the switch to “Yes”

4. 🔗 Add the external booking link

  • Click “Open optional settings” below the ticket section

  • Find the section “External booking link” and activate the switch

  • Paste the URL of the external booking page

  • Click “Done” to save the popup settings

💡 Note:
When using an external link, you can ignore all other booking settings (e.g. participant limits, custom fields, registration deadline).

5. ☎️ Optional: Enable the call function

Would you like to also offer a call option?

  • In the same optional settings section, find "Call reservations" and activate the switch “Enable call bookings”

  • Enter a phone number – it will appear as a “Call” button next to the booking link
    → Ideal for guests with questions or those who prefer to book by phone
