Adding consent fields to your booking form allows you to collect customer consent for your privacy policy or marketing communications. This helps ensure transparency and compliance with data protection regulations.

This article covers:


Locating the consent fields

To find your consent fields:

  1. Select Settings from the left-hand menu in your account, then Booking fields.

  2. Select the Consent tab:

    Booking fields tabs with the 'Consent' tab highlighted

  3. There is a pre-existing field for agreeing to your privacy policy and marketing, labelled "Do you agree to the privacy policy?":

Creating a new consent field

To create a new consent field:

  1. Select Settings from the left-hand menu in your account, then Booking fields.

  2. Select the Consent tab, then Create a field in the top right-hand corner:

  3. Ensure the Consent field type is selected, then select Continue to confirm field type:

    šŸ’” Without this field type, the system won't recognise it as a consent field.

  4. Then name the field under Field question:

  5. You can also add further information in the Additional details field and upload attachments within the creation screen.

  6. Once completed, select Create field.

Adding the field to all entries

If you'd like to add the field to all entries:

  1. Ensure you have already created the field by selecting Create field in the creation screen.

  2. Once you select Create field, we will redirect you back to the main booking fields screen.

  3. From there, select the three-dot menu next to the field, then Edit field:

  4. Scroll down to Restrictions and select Add to all entries:

Uploading attachments

You can attach files to your fields, which is useful for longer privacy policies or other important documents customers may need to review.

To do this:

  1. Select Settings from the left-hand menu in your account, then Booking fields.

  2. Select the relevant tab, then either Create a field to create a new booking field, or open an existing booking field using the 3-dot menu next to the relevant one, then Edit field:

  3. Select Upload under the Attachment heading to upload your file, or choose an existing uploaded file using the drop-down menu:
