Website Integrations: Booking, Chat and Payments

• Booking, chat and payment tools let visitors act without waiting.
• Connect each tool to your CRM so no lead or payment gets lost.
• Third-party scripts can slow pages, so add only what earns its place.
• Widgets must work on phones, with keyboards and with screen readers.
• Use payment providers' secure checkouts so card details never touch your site.
• Retest booking, chat and payments after every website update.

This guide covers how to add booking, chat and payments to a business website: choosing how each fits, connecting them to your CRM, keeping pages fast and accessible, Spanish versions, tracking results, security, data ownership and testing after updates. Put plainly: let visitors book, ask and pay in a few taps, and make sure every action reaches your team.
