Now you are ready to complete the pages under booking engine evo:
General Setup: All the general information regarding your property.
Checkin/checkout time and some other advanced features like the automatic closing time (1) and the correction ratio (2) this enables you to set up a value (percentage or fixed) to increase or decrease the rate you previously set on the Calendar in Octorate, before you send it to your personal website.
Payment setup : Here you have to choose the payment methods you want to activate on your site.
Discount: You can create some discounts or coupon codes and decide if keep them only for your website or send them to the portals.
Children: this section helps you to create specific rates for children according their age.
Add-ons-Design: Here you can customize the layout of your booking engine and select its page components.
Texts: You can write here all your customized texts.
Notifications: You can display pop-up messages to your guests directly on the homepage of your Booking Engine.
To do this, simply click the “+ Create a new notification” button.
- On the left, you can select the display dates and set how long the banner will remain visible.
- On the right, you can enter the text of the message you want to show.
This is a great tool to highlight special offers, discounts, or important information!
Widget: With the help of your web master, you can set up the widget on your website, in order to enable the communication between Octorate and your website.
ATTENTION: If you have a multiaccount you have to create the widget on your master account (while all the other settings must be set in each son account), if you don't have your own website yet and you want to create an octosite, you can ignore the widget setup.
See you soon 🐙
