Quick answer: I connected a Wix website’s booking form to HotelDoor using its API. When a guest submits the form, a booking is created in HotelDoor automatically. The team no longer re-types reservations by hand.
The Problem
user took booking requests through a form on their Wix site. Every request then had to be entered into HotelDoor manually.
That caused two problems:
- Staff spent time copying the same details twice.
- Typing errors and delays were always possible.
What I Built
A Velo backend integration between the Wix form and HotelDoor.
The flow works like this:
- A guest fills in the booking form on the Wix site.
- A backend function receives the submission.
- The function sends the booking details to HotelDoor through its API.
- HotelDoor creates the reservation.
- sees confirmation message
The guest sees a normal form. The reservation appears in HotelDoor with no extra work.
How the Integration Works
Three details make this reliable.
Server-side calls. The API request runs in Velo backend code, not in the browser. Credentials stay off the frontend.
Field mapping. Form fields must match what the API expects. Dates, guest details, and room choices are converted into the format HotelDoor requires.
Failure handling. APIs sometimes fail. it shows booking not booked.
Before and After
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Staff re-typed every booking | Bookings are created automatically |
| Slower confirmation | Reservation appears right after submission |
| Risk of copy-paste mistakes | Data moves directly from form to system |
| Website and HotelDoor kept separate | Website feeds HotelDoor directly |
Results
- Manual booking entry removed
- Reservations appear in HotelDoor as soon as the form is submitted
- Built and delivered in 3 days
- 100 dollars cost
Who This Is For
This fits any Wix site that takes bookings or enquiries and then copies them into another system. Hotels, guesthouses, and rental businesses are the obvious cases. The same pattern works for CRMs, order systems, and scheduling tools.
If you need something similar, see my Wix Velo development service. I also built a Wix tyre finder that calls an external API. For a rough budget, try the cost calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Wix booking form send data to another system?
Yes. With Velo, a backend function can send form data to any system that offers an API.
Can Wix connect to HotelDoor?
Yes, if HotelDoor provides API access for your account. In this project, the form creates bookings in HotelDoor automatically.
Do I need to rebuild my Wix website for this?
No. The integration works with your existing site and form.
How long does a Wix API integration take?
This one took 3 days. Timelines depend on how complex the system’s API is.
What happens if the connected system is down?
A well-built integration handles this with a fallback, such as an alert to your team, so no booking is lost.
