Gain 10% more direct bookings!

Soon reservations from the booking system will be confirmed before the payment is booked online. Your guests will be able to make a payment within 3 days, thanks to which you will get up to 10% more confirmed reservations.

Make the best of the potential of unfinished bookings!

Our research shows that hotels using the reservation system can recover up to 10% of unfinished bookings. These are the reservations in which potential guests choose to pay online, but ultimately for various reasons they do not make payments (overdraft limit, no payment card on hand, internet connection problems, intention to make payment on the desktop computer, etc.). Thanks to confirming the reservation before the payment is booked, we will avoid losing a direct booking in favor of a booking with OTA or, even worse, losing the guest completely.

What changes does the new feature introduce?

The booking process will look like this:

1. The reservation will be confirmed immediately after clicking the button “Book now with payment obligation"
2. If the booking system is integrated with Channel Manager or PMS, room availability will be reduced in all channels.
3. As has been the case so far, the guest is redirected to the online payment system
4. If the guest does not make the payment immediately, he will have 3 days to pay for the reservation. All he has to do is click on the link sent in the email. A message about the unpaid reservation will be sent to the e-mail address of the hotel.
5. If the payment deadline is exceeded, you will be able to contact the guest or cancel the reservation manually.
