Flexible Calendar options
With our flexible calendar options, you choose how you want to receive bookings, either on request or, via our real-time availability calendar, customers can receive instant confirmation when they book online. Instant confirmation allows clients can see immediately if the dates they want are available, and book them straight up, right there. Or if you prefer, set your property to “on request”, which allows a client to send a booking request through, subject to your confirmation.Set different rates for different minimum stays, or different ‘room’ types eg 2 bedrooms or 3 bedrooms. The calendar can easily be “plugged in” to your existing website. You maintain complete control – block certain dates if you need to, change rates according to peak seasons and premium events and see it live, immediately, on your property page.
Amazingly flexible payment options, including online and credit card payments. At no extra cost!
We set your payment options up however you want – customers can pay the full amount on booking, or a deposit, or nothing until you have confirmed. They can pay by credit card, or you can include instructions for EFT to your own bank account, or even pay by PayPal.
If you require the guests to pay when they book – either a deposit or a full amount – you can choose whether they use our secure credit card processing facilities, or yours – at absolutely no extra cost. Online payments are transferred to your nominated bank account less our commission when the guest pays; *not* 6 weeks after they have stayed!
