Remember that the way Cowlendar works is that by [default](/cowlendar-help/how-to.../how-to-use-the-integration-feature.md) it converts the **add to cart button into a book now button**. When this book now button is clicked it opens up the calendar widget

7. Click on **Cowlendar**

{% endhint %}
12. Go through each tab and when done make sure to click **update**
13. Go back to **My Services**
14. Click **View** on the newly created service
