Widget Customiser
The Zonal Bookings widget is often referred to as an “out of the box” or "stock widget" which means it comes ready to use with your account setup. The Widget Customiser is a system feature, allowing you to change the colouring, font, and wording (on some of the sections), toggle certain options and descriptors on or off depending on your needs, and a lot more.
