Booking Page for Multiple Properties
This page is a about the menu  (SETTINGS)  > BOOKING ENGINE > MULTI BOOKING PAGE

Concept

The multi-property booking page displays all properties of the account. It links to the property booking page ( (SETTINGS) > BOOKING ENGINE ) where the actual booking is made.

The design of the responsive booking page version is modular allowing you to fully control the layout.

The responsive booking page consists of sections. For each section you can choose from a set of modules which can be added an removed. They have advanced settings so you can tailor the display exactly to your needs. For most modules content needs to be added so they can display. Available modules for the multi-property booking page are are:

  • Picture slider or gallery for agency and property
  • Featues for property
  • Availability calendar (one or multiple month) for property
  • Descriptions for for agency and property
  • Policies for property
If you have less than 50 properties in the account the system will check if all selected criteria are fulfilled.


For accounts with more than 50 properties for performance reasons the system will only check if any rooms are available (not closed) for the selected dates. If there are no prices for the selection you will see 'Check Availability' box
