You may already be using the new Reservation System - that's great!
On January 24, 2023, we will disable the ability to use the old Reservation System, so if you're still using it - it's high time to realize the potential of its new version.
Here's what you need to do to use the connection:
- Set up a new price grid 2.0 → https://app.bed-booking.com/price/configuration
- Set prices on the price grid and activate the price list 2.0 → https://app.bed-booking.com/price/set
- Configure settings for the new widget 2.0: including settings preferences, terms and conditions, privacy policy, photos → https://app.bed-booking.com/widgets
- Inventory on your website of the places where the old version of the booking widget is embedded (list of widget 1.0 usage places).
- According to the list of widget 1.0 usage sites, replace the booking widget with version 2.0. (snippet code or WordPress plugin).
- Test the sales process / set up a test booking to make sure all settings are configured correctly.
- If necessary, make changes to the relevant BedBooking system settings.
With the new capabilities of the Reservation System, you should consider reviewing and adjusting the following settings to your preferences (optional):
- Rooms: room addresses + Google Maps location on room card → https://app.bed-booking.com/booking/calendar
