If omitted, the language of the current page (reflected in the <code>&lt;html lang&gt;<\/code> attribute, set automatically by multilingual plugins) is used; the visitor's browser language serves as a last resort fallback.<\/li>\n<li><code>enable_stripe=\"1\"<\/code> - show card payment via Stripe.

Guests can enable them with <strong>Add Billing Details<\/strong> when they need an invoice. Card and bank-transfer payments without billing details create only a payment record; bank-transfer instructions and Czech QR payments use the booking ID as the payment reference and variable symbol.\n* <code>show_gender=\"0\"<\/code> - hide the gender field (shown by default).\n* <code>show_country=\"1\"<\/code> - show an optional ISO 3166-1 country selector (hidden by default).\n* <code>show_children=\"0\"<\/code> - hide the children field and use one combined guest count instead.

Share the link with your guest - they fill in their personal details without needing to register. Submitted data is saved to the database and sent by email to both the admin and the guest. You can review all registrations under <strong>Bookings -&gt; Guest Registrations<\/strong> in the admin panel.<\/p>\n\n<p>If the registration link contains a specific apartment (<code>unit<\/code>), that apartment is kept as the primary assignment. The plugin then tries to link the registration to a matching booking for the same apartment and stay dates. When the apartment is not known and there is exactly one matching booking for the submitted stay dates, the registration can be linked automatically to that booking. If the match is not clear, you can manually pair or unpair the registration group in the admin panel.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Guest Registrations admin screen includes filters for apartment, booking source, stay date range, guest\/email\/reference search, booking ID, and linked or unlinked registration groups. You can also change the apartment for a whole registration group when a guest submitted the form under the wrong apartment.<\/p>\n\n<p>Optional parameters:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>title=\"TEXT\"<\/code> - custom heading displayed above the form. If omitted, the apartment name is used as the heading.<\/li>\n<li><code>language=\"LOCALE\"<\/code> - locale code (e.g. <code>cs_CZ<\/code>, <code>de_DE<\/code>, <code>en_US<\/code>) to render the form labels in a specific language. If omitted, the current site language is used.<\/li>\n<li><code>param=\"accommodation\"<\/code> - resolve the apartment from a URL parameter instead of a fixed <code>unit<\/code> ID.
