We're pleased to announce a new update to RezOvation GT today, which includes the ability to book packages through our Booking Engine. Some details:
- This new feature is considered BETA. While it
has been fully tested, we encourage your feedback and appreciate your
understanding as we make improvements.
- There are two types of packages: Lodging packages
(which include rooms, and which can be used for things like room
specials, etc. as well as all-inclusive packages which include the room
rate), and add on packages (which are stand-alone packages that may contain one or more items).
- Packages can now include photos, which are uploaded to each package via the package configuration section.
- Packages
must be enabled individually for display on the Booking Engine -- by
default no packages will be displayed. To make a package available for
the Booking Engine, edit the package and select the option for
"available on Booking Engine"
- Only packages that are
available for the Booking Engine enabled rate type (typically "Rack")
AND which are enabled for Booking Engine will show up online.
- If
there is a date restriction on package, then the arrival and departure
date of reservation must be within package date restrictions for the
package to be available.
- Rooms added after packages are
configured are not automatically associated with / available to be
booked with existing packages. You must edit each package and update
manually after the new room is added.
- Lodging packages cannot be booked at this time when using availability calendar; only add-on packages can be booked.
- If you wish to sell single items through the Booking Engine, then simply create a new add on package with only one item in it.
- Packages
can only be booked through the RezOvation Booking Engine. Packages
cannot be booked through BedandBreakfast.com online reservations,
Webervations, Expedia, or any other Expedia affiliate.
