Tokeet Booking Engines
Tokeet booking engines can power a booking widget you implement on your non-Tokeet website, or you can link directly to booking engine pages from your site.
You can utilize Tokeet's booking engine domains like booksafely.com, or utilize your own domain by following a few simple configuration changes in the second part of this article.
Before you create a booking engine, make sure to add the Stripe Payment Gateway.
