What the customer sees:
A neat booking widget with a date-and-time picker, quantity selector, and an Instant Booking Request button.What you receive:

2. You list only your business details (no prices)
What the customer sees:
A Request Pricing form where they type what they need and hit Send Request.What you receive:
A free-form enquiry with their message, event details, and contact info—basically a lead you can quote on.
