The BookingCenter Booking Engine can be used to deliver selected Rates and Availability to a guest, agent, group, etc. by creating unique URL or link. When this URL is opened, it will display your Booking Engine with the selected allocation of rates and availability. For example, if you only want to make the KING Room Type available to a particular guest, agent, group, etc. You would insert the Room Type ID in the URL as follows: https://book.bookingcenter.com/02/?site=MYPMSDO&room_type=KING
There are several unique parameters that can be used in the URL string to deliver specific rates and availability as follows:
- Promo Code: Promo codes are used to access a "channel" with a unique set of room types and rates. Use Promo codes for specials, discounts, negotiated rates, etc. I.e. RETURN
- Agent: Create an Agent and set up a "channel" with a unique set of room types and rates only available to that agent.
- Room Type: Insert a Room Type ID into the URL and availability will only display for the selected Room Type.
- Source:
- Guest Type:
- Date Management and Duration: Example, this URL requires the guest to book the Double Room Type for 3 nights. The calendar opens at a specific date: 10-MAR-2020 thru 10-MAR-2020 for only the Double Room Type .

How to create a Custom URL with a specific parameter to send to guests or agents.
The Custom URL you create must start with the correct URL for the Booking Engine Template you are using, contain your Site ID (exactly as shown in the setup area of MyPMS) and then the specific Parameter ID and Value for the rate and availability search you want to display. This example is using Booking Engine Template 1 (option 1), the MYPMS Demo Site and an agent parameter called "ABCTRAVEL". Use this model to create your custom URL by inserting your site specific values.
