How to Use the Booking Module on Your Direct Booking Website
The Booking Module is a powerful feature that allows you to offer secure booking functionality directly on your existing website. By integrating this module, you can enable guests to book your properties seamlessly while keeping everything synchronized with your Holidu account. This guide will walk you through the setup process step by step.
What is the Booking Module?
The Booking Module is a code snippet that you can embed into your existing website to provide a fully functional booking experience. It manages secure transactions, automates booking processes, and ensures that all reservations are synced with your Holidu calendar and pricing in real time. This means you can maintain direct bookings on your own site without worrying about double bookings or manual updates.
How to Integrate the Booking Module
Step 1: Access Your Direct Booking Website Settings
To begin, log in to your Holidu Homes account and navigate to the Direct Booking Website section. Once you're in, go to Settings and click on Booking Module.
Step 2: Enable the Booking Module
In the Booking Module settings, you'll find an option to toggle the module on. Select this toggle to enable the Booking Module functionality. You will also need to accept the terms and conditions to proceed. This ensures that you understand the features and agree to the booking terms associated with the module.
Step 3: Copy the Code Snippet
Once you've enabled the Booking Module, a unique code snippet will be generated for you. Copy this code carefully. You'll need to paste it into your existing website's HTML where you want the booking functionality to appear. This is typically in a dedicated booking page or section of your website. If you're not sure where to paste it, consult with your web developer or website administrator.
Step 4: Select Your Preferred Languages
The Booking Module supports multiple languages. Choose the languages that match your website's preferences and target audience. This ensures a consistent and professional user experience for your guests, no matter which language they prefer to use during the booking process.
Step 5: Save Your Settings
After you've completed all the above steps, click Save to activate your Booking Module. Your direct booking functionality is now live on your website, allowing guests to book directly while keeping everything synchronized with your Holidu calendar and pricing.
