The widget settings include:

• Projects — select the Project where the widget will be placed
• Your SubID — helps you understand statistics; for example, to find out how and what pages visitors went to on the widget (for details about the additional marker (SubID)
• Widget’s layout — two variants are possible:
  • Full — big photos of the hotels
  • Compact — small photos of the hotels
• Host — the website on which a hotel’s offer is opened by clicking on the Look at the hotel button. An offer will open on your website if you create and set up the White Label and select it in the domain list
• Locale — the widget language
• Currency — the currency, in which a room cost is displayed
• Hotels in the selection — the number of hotels, shown in the widget (v. infra if the Prepared selections variant is chosen)
• Add my referral link — adds a link Powered by Travelpayouts under the search form. More details in the article Referral program.
• Widget width — specify the widget width (in pixels) on a page. The width can also be changed by holding the widget corner using the left mouse button and moving it to the right or left. If the «Responsive» variant is chosen, the widget will be automatically adjusted to the user’s screen resolution
• Disable redirect to hotels – if it isn't selected the hotel is opened on the Zenhotels agency website by default. If the checkbox is selected, the hotel page will open on the Hotellook.com

The autocomplete function will be activated upon entering a hotel name. It is used to search for similarities in names and to show them in the list under the field.

After finishing the configuration, click the Copy code and place the widget code on your website. Please note that if your site is powered by WordPress you can use our plugin to host widgets and other affiliate tools.

Life hack: how to get a collation of hotels for a city

To get a collation of hotels for a specific city, replace a city ID code (in the example given
above, this id=30553) with its IATA code. For example, the final embed code for Paris shall be as follows:

<script async src=«//www.travelpayouts.com/blissey/scripts.js?iata=PAR&type=full&currency=rub&host=search.hotellook.com&marker=77410.&limit=10» charset=«UTF-8»></script>

Upon making this modification, you will be able to add the required IATA city code into the widget code almost immediately.
