Online booking


Graeme

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I'm helping a friend with a site for his Villa. He would like to start and rent it out. Is there anything available to set up an online booking page or is it specialist developer stuff? I'm not thinking about booking online just yet but say something to say if dates are available and a general enquiry.

 

Thank you as always,

 

Best wishes

Well it depends what he's looking for. You can use an ecommerce software in which you will make some custom programing changes to allow the following:

 

1. Available dates

2. Schedule/register for a room

3. Accept payment

4. Confirmation

 

Depending on what he is using to make reservation it's possible to integrate it with this so that when when rooms come available it updates the site automatically.

 

Of course this is something not for those that are thin with their budget.

 

Otherwise, I do not know of anything else out there that you can use other than just use some email form submission and he then just have to call them to confirm.

Hello,

 

I like th idea of the Gogle calendar, especially as I can embed it into the site. Am I right in thinking that say someone would enquire about a booking by e-mail, then I wuld enter the booking into the calendar and re-embed it onto the site?

 

Thank you,

 

best wishes

I imagine that you would only need to embed it once. If you needed to make changes (add dates, remove dates, etc.), you'd log in to the Google Calendar system, make your changes, and the changes should show up automatically on your website.

 

I imagine the calendar is embedded using an iframe or something similar.
