Checklist 3

Booking Engine

• Add a logo.

• Choose the theme, colours and a font.

• Fill out the booking conditions.

• Have your guests pay the outstanding amount at the online check in if you wish.

• Choose which information you want the booker to fill in when booking.

• Choose in which languages your booking engine is available (note: your own input of the system is not automatically translated, you have to do this yourself).

• Choose whether prices should be shown including or excluding tourist tax and add-ons.

• Choose whether advance payments should be calculated including tourist tax and add-ons.

• Choose until what time you are bookable for the same day and until what time guests can check in.

• Click on the green "book" button to view your booking engine.

• Use the URL from the address bar of the booking engine (after pressing the 'book' button) to place the booking engine on your own website.

Documents

• You have set up the documents in the languages in which you set up your Booking Engine.

• The name of the document is also the subject of the mail that is sent to the guest. Give all the documents a nice name and not document 1, document 2, etc.

• There are automatic templates in the system but of course you can also be a little creative with it. If you prefer to do it yourself, then instead of an automatic document, you can select a custom template.

• Add your automated documents; you may want to create your own document per room type.

• Make sure your pre-arrival email is set and contains the replace tag %onlinecheckin% if desired. Go to account -> email settings to indicate how many days before the check in date this mail should be sent automatically.
