Sirvoy offers two types of booking engine code: the standard version and a JavaScript version. Both work the same way for guests, but the JavaScript version gives web developers more flexibility when customizing how the Sirvoy booking engine appears and behaves on a website.

What is the JavaScript version?

The JavaScript version is an alternative way to embed booking engines on your website. It’s written in JavaScript, a common and easy-to-use programming language.

This version is especially useful if you want to build your own layout or integrate the booking engine into a custom-built system.

Where to find JavaScript booking engine code

To get the JavaScript version of the code:

1. Go to Settings > Booking engines.
2. Click the three dots on the same row as the booking engine you want to embed.
3. Select Install.
4. Open the Advanced settings.
5. Check the Alternate syntax option.
6. The JavaScript version will appear under Copy this code.

What you can build with a JavaScript engine

Using the JavaScript version opens up a wide range of customization options. Here are a couple of real-world examples from Sirvoy users:

• Custom search bars that direct guests to one or multiple Sirvoy booking engines, depending on the selected criteria.
• A unified booking interface for multi-property websites, where guests first choose a location or property and then are given search results from the matching Sirvoy booking engine—even engines from across multiple Sirvoy accounts.
