Booking Engine | Select Rooms and Rates

The "Select Room" or Availability page of the Booking Engine displays the Room Types and Rates available. There are two options for displaying rate plans depending on how you want to offer your units and how many rate plans you offer. One option is "Single Rate Plans" using Booking Engine Template 01 and 03, the other is "Multiple Rate Plans" using Booking Engine Templates 02 and 04.  For details on how to use and setup each Booking Engine Template, See Website Code

NOTE: For either option the Rate Plans must be allocated to Channel BC in the Setup Area to display. To add or change Rate Plans allocated to the Room Type, see Room Type and Rate Plan Allocations

All Booking Engine Templates offer the ability to customize the Rate Plan name and Guest Selection (Adults and/or children). See Booking Engine | Rate Plans

If you are using a "Multiple Rates" Booking Engine (02 and 04), then each Room Type listed has a "Show Rates" button which, when clicked, will expand to display all of the Rate Plans for the Room Type.  The available Room Type will be sorted via the 'sort' value assigned to the Room Type.  Then, under the available Type, the various Rates (if more than 1 is allocated and available for the duration) will be sorted via the 'sort' value assigned to the Rate. 

Package Rate Plans

• Any Package Rate can be made available for any Room Type by allocating the Rate Plan to the Booking Engine Channel in Agent Relationships. See Room Type and Rate Plan Allocations
• All Package Rates display with a star icon and a "View Package Details" Link.  See Booking Engine | Inventory Items and Packages.
