Online reservation system 2.0: rate plans and payment gateways
Each room can have several rate plans with their own cancellation policies. Also added: child rates, locations, room types, and commission-free payments through mobile-calendar.
What it is
A new version of the online reservation system, or booking engine on your property's website. Previously, all rooms had the same cancellation policy. Now you can split your offer into several rate options, similar to how portals such as Booking.com work.
How it works
- Rate plans: a room can have several plans, such as a returnable option and a cheaper non-refundable one. Each plan has its own cancellation policy, and meals are part of the plan, for example, “Standard with breakfast”.
- Pricing for Children: available in the price depending on the number of guests model.
- Locations and Room types: you can group rooms by address and by their features, and changes to a room type apply to all rooms of that type.
- Own Payment gateways: for example, PayPal, Stripe, or Przelewy24, as well as cash or bank transfer. With mobile-calendar Professional and Premium subscriptions, mobile-calendar does not charge a commission on bookings. The payment gateway operator charges its own fee.
- Google Tag Manager: tracking code for campaign analysis.
Your existing data has been retained in the system. The “price per person” model has been replaced by “room rate” and “price depending on the number of guests”.
