BookingCenter's Self Check-in System gives you two options for integrating Digital Signatures into three options to exempt a specific booking from the Self Check-in process. You can simply just request a Digital Signature from the guest or make it required before the guest can Check-in. The process is fully integrated with MyPMS with synchronized status updates, customized messaging, and optional SMS Messaging (subscription required). To learn more about how to setup, see eSign - Digital Document Signing Process. This means that you can exempt the booking from the Self Check-in process completely or exempt the booking from a part of the process ie. esign.

The Self Check-in process is designed to only allow the guest to start and complete automatically send an email and/or SMS on arrival date to all bookings. The 'Self Check-inON the ' communication the guest receives depends on their Self Check-in Date.The Guest will only see the Check-in button and be allowed to complete the process if all criteria has been met, similar to the check-in process in MyPMS. If the Booking Criteria has not been met, then the a message will display telling the guest what action to take I.e. Add Payment Method.If the Guest clicks on the Self Check-in link BEFORE the Check-in date, then the Guest will be able to Manage the Booking, but the Check-in button will not display.  For the detailed information on MyBooking, see Self Check-in | MyBookingand Esign settings. If you want to exempt or exclude the booking from a part (say, just eSign) or all of the communication process (ie, the Guest will NOT receive either an email nor a SMS message to initiate Self Checkin and they won't be able to click the 'check in' function even if they do find the Self Checkin service page) use the Self Check-in Exempt setting in the Booking Data Tab.
