Edit Bookings

From the ‘Booking Details’ page (booking_details.phtml), an Owner can click a LINK to ‘Edit Booking”. The Edit feature enables:

  • Edit the number of Adults attached to a booking
  • Edit the number of Children in a booking
  • Edit the number of Infants in a booking
    • Note, editing the ACI numbers via this process will NOT alter the rate attached to the booking.

Owner's Area Book Now Image Added

Owners can make bookings in order to block out availability and deliver detailed booking information to the Property Management System.  For the feature to work with the correct Unit(s), it is imperative that the setup  of the 'Owner' use the Agent Allocations Agent Relationships and  Agent Allocations feature to allocate the correct Units(s) to the right Owner ID.  Note, doing this requires two dependencies:

  1. That the Agent has the same ID as the Owner.  Thus, if your Agent to allocate to is Agent ID: EXAMPLE, then the Owner should also have an ID: Owner.  
  2. The actual HTML call to invoke the 'Book Now' feature is to use the Site ID + Agent/Owner ID in the Booking Engine.  Using the prior example, the URL would be: http://requests.bookingcenter.com/enquiry.phtml?site=MYSITE&agent=MYSITEEXAMPLE.  Any Booking Engine template can be used to invoke the 'Owner's booking', but by default, the Owner's Area supports the Legacy Booking Engine.  

To use this feature for your Owners, consider the following Booking Engine Settings:

  • Provide a Receipt Type that your Owners can use so they aren't required to place a credit card when completing a booking. An example of a common is: Owner Guaranteed Payment and it shouldn't be a credit card.
