About Destinely Experiences Widget

From the official readme · v3.0.15

Description

Destinely Experiences Widget connects your WordPress hotel website to the Destinely platform. After a guest completes a hotel booking, a launcher appears on the confirmation page so they can browse and book nearby experiences.

Why hotels use it

  • Earn commission when guests book experiences through your site
  • Setup in minutes with your Hotel ID and Hotel Name
  • Works with WooCommerce and common hotel booking plugins
  • Appearance and offers managed in your Destinely hotel dashboard
  • Mobile-friendly booking with secure Pesapal payments

How it works

  1. A guest completes a hotel booking on your website
  2. The plugin detects the booking confirmation page
  3. The Destinely launcher appears with nearby experiences
  4. The guest books an experience and your hotel earns commission

External services

This plugin connects to https://www.destinely.com to show experiences, process bookings, and record basic usage needed for the widget. By using this plugin you agree to the Destinely Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Data sent to Destinely may include: Hotel ID, page URL, session ID, browser type, and booking-related events on confirmation pages. WordPress admin passwords are never sent.

Privacy Policy

This plugin stores three settings on your WordPress site: enable flag, Hotel ID, and Hotel Name. Guest activity and bookings are handled by Destinely over HTTPS. See destinely.com/privacy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Destinely account?

Yes. Create a free hotel partner account at destinely.com/hotel/register to get your Hotel ID.

Can I customize the widget?

Yes. Title, color, position, and display options are managed in your Destinely hotel dashboard under widget settings.

Will this slow down my site?

No meaningful impact for most hotels. The widget script loads only when the plugin is enabled and set up, and it is designed not to block your pages.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. It works with WooCommerce order confirmation pages and common hotel booking plugins such as Tourfic and similar thank-you or confirmation pages.

Where do guests see the widget?

On the booking confirmation page after a successful hotel booking. It does not show on every page of your site.

How do I get support?

Visit destinely.com/docs or open your hotel dashboard.
