Stayntouch IBE: Optimizing Mobile Booking Performance (Safari/iOS Setup)


When embedding the Stayntouch Internet Booking Engine (IBE) on your website, please ensure the primary booking call-to-action buttons (such as "Book Now") are configured to open the booking engine in the same browser tab rather than triggering a new tab, new window, or using window.open scripts.


Why This Matters:

  • Safari on iOS defaults to strict pop-up blocking without allowing site-specific exceptions.
  • When a booking engine link is set to open in a new window or tab automatically, iOS Safari frequently flags and blocks the action as a pop-up.
  • Setting links to navigate within the same tab avoids pop-up blocker interference and provides a smoother user experience, allowing guests to navigate using their browser's standard back button.
