Add a booking calendar to Canva
To add a booking calendar to Canva, copy your calendar link from RentalBeam, paste it into the Embeds app, and your open dates show on your page, synced from Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo. The calendar is free; the booking form is Pro; the map is Plus or Pro.
Availability calendar
Paste the calendar into Canva. Free on every plan. Use "Copy link" and paste the link into the Embeds app.
What you need
- A Canva website design you can edit
- Your RentalBeam widget link, from "Copy link" in the widget's "Website code" box
- At least one connected iCal source such as Airbnb or Vrbo
Steps
- Open your website design in Canva
- Choose Apps, search for Embeds, and open it
- Paste the calendar link and add it to your design
- Drag the frame until every month shows, then publish your website
Before you publish
- Drag the frame taller if the bottom of the calendar is cut off. It keeps the size you give it.
- Check the published website on a phone too.
- Put the calendar near your inquiry or direct-booking button so guests can act right after checking dates.
- Drag the frame wide and tall enough to show every month, then check the published website on a phone.

Troubleshooting
If a widget does not show on Canva. It goes in the Embeds app. Then check these, in order.
Canva takes a link, not code
Canva has no place to paste code, so there is no script or iframe to copy. Use "Copy link" in the widget's "Website code" box and paste that link into the Embeds app. The widget then shows live inside the frame.
The frame keeps the size you give it
Canva does not resize the frame for you. If the bottom of the widget is cut off, drag the frame taller, then check the published website on a phone.
- Publish the page and check the live address, not only the editor preview.
- Open the page in a private window to rule out a cached copy.
- Check that your RentalBeam calendar already shows the right booked dates before you look at the page.
- Send one test booking request from the live page and confirm the email reaches you.

Canva questions.
Can I use RentalBeam on Canva?
Yes. The availability calendar, the booking form and the map each have a link you paste into the Embeds app on Canva, and they work alongside your Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo listings instead of replacing them.
Do I need code to use RentalBeam on Canva?
No. Canva has no place for code. Its Embeds app takes a link and shows the calendar live on your page. In the widget's "Website code" box, choose "Copy link" and paste the link into the Embeds app.
Will this sync with Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo?
Yes. RentalBeam supports any iCal URL, so you can import Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Calendar, and other compatible sources. The booking form reads the same calendar. A date just booked on another site can show open until the next refresh. On Pro, a paid booking is checked against your calendars before it confirms.
Do I need a property management system?
No. RentalBeam is for hosts who want synced availability and direct-booking tools without paying for a full PMS stack.
Can I paste the code into Canva instead?
No. Canva does not accept script or iframe code. Paste the widget link into its Embeds app.
Does RentalBeam take a commission or booking fee on guest card payments?
RentalBeam Pro is a single direct-booking plan with no commission and no booking fee. It adds the booking form widget, guest-payment workflow, coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, booking rules, host email tools, and reply-from-inbox guest messaging. RentalBeam never takes a cut of your booking revenue. When a guest chooses to pay by card through RentalBeam, the only deduction is the standard Stripe card-processing fee, which is paid to Stripe - not RentalBeam. Inquiry, pay-later, and off-platform bookings (such as bank transfer) carry no per-transaction cost at all.
Which plan do I need?
The availability calendar works on every plan, including Free. The booking form needs Pro. Every plan can build and preview a map in a rental's Map section; showing it on your own website needs Plus or Pro.
Can I show an approximate area instead of my exact address?
Yes. Each rental's Details page lets you choose exact-pin mode or approximate-area mode. Approximate mode shows guests a shaded circle instead of your exact coordinates, and nearby highlights are withheld.
