Date picker and Book Now button widgets
Let visitors pick rental dates right on the page, or add a standalone button that jumps straight to checkout.
Where to find it
Website (left sidebar) → open a page → Sections tab → Add Section → "Date Picker" or "Book Now Button"
The Date Picker widget lets visitors choose rental dates directly on your page. The Book Now Button widget is a standalone button that opens your booking flow.
Where to find it
Website → open a page → drag Date Picker or Book Now Button from the widget picker.

How it works
Date Picker
- Heading and Subheading: title and supporting line.
- Layout: Bar (a thin horizontal bar with faux date fields, the default), Calendar (a clickable month grid), or Stacked (a tall card with real date fields).
- Size: small, medium, or large controls.
- Show time inputs: adds an hour picker for pickup and return alongside the dates.
- When placed on the same page as a Fleet Grid widget, picking dates here filters that grid to show only what's available.
Book Now Button
- Label: the button text, default "Book Now."
- Size: small, medium, or large.
- Alignment: left, center, or right within its space.
- Style: primary (filled), secondary, or outline.
- Clicking it always sends the visitor to your checkout flow.
Example
An e-bike rental business might put a Date Picker in "Bar" layout at the top of the homepage, linked to a Fleet Grid below it — so as soon as a visitor picks their dates, the grid updates to show only bikes available then.
If you have more than one shop
With two or more shops, the Date Picker shows a Shop picker so the customer chooses where they'll pick up before checking dates. In the widget's Shop settings you can pin it to one shop or leave it on Follow customer's choice. See Running more than one shop.
Good to know
- The Date Picker only filters a Fleet Grid when the two are placed on the same page and linked.
- Use the Book Now Button when you just want a simple shortcut to checkout without a date-picking step first.
