Must-Have Components
You must include all your payment components
- Order Manager Spotlight: It shows all booking & event orders created by the user, including all the order details (date & time of created order, payment method type, status, etc.).
- Shopping Cart Spotlight: It allows users to add, review, and manage scheduled bookings or events before proceeding to checkout.
- My Calendar: Include a calendar component so that customers may track their event schedule throughout the day or at a specific time by creating a complete booking or event calendar (agenda).
Create a calendar for multi-day events; for example, if you have an event spanning several days with a unique program for each day, using a calendar to organize daily schedules would be highly beneficial. It helps users easily track their activities and ensures they don’t miss any scheduled times.
The created calendar can only be posted in a feed center or a channel. Click here to learn how.
