In addition to their room, you can offer your customers the chance to book equipment (bike, paddle, kayak, etc.) that they can use on your premises during their stay in your establishment:
In the Main Menu, click on Offers
On the Your Main Offers page, click on Add an Option
From the types of option available, choose Equipment Hire
Name your option: give it a commercial name that will appeal to your customers on the booking engine. In the example below, we have named our option"Rent your bike on site and get away"
Click on Create
As this is a bike hire service and we want to offer our customers real freedom, we specify that the hire can take place at any time of the day (it could have been organised at Fixed Hours: see how to set up bookings by session).
You must then determine the maximum sales capacity per session: this indication (expressed in units) will set a sales limit on your booking engine.
Finally, we specify that the rental is for 1 day
Thenclick on the Article tab and write a short description of your option, which will be displayed on your booking engine(add one or more foreign versions if you wish)
Click on the Photos tab to add at least one photo to your option (See how to add photos to your offers)
Once you have completed the commercial description of your option, click on the Standard Price tab to enter your base fare
The Standard Price tab opens with the current price calendar
Why can't I set a price per person?
Answer: this involves hiring equipment that is different for adults and children, for example. It may therefore be a question of different stocks. In this case, we recommend that you create another option called "Child Bike Hire", which will have its own price and its own stock
You can also set price restrictions and special sales and cancellation conditions. In the example above, the offer is cancellable but cancellation fees may apply.
Once you have entered all this information, don't forget toSave the page before leaving it
To make your option available in the booking engine, don't forget toopen its availability in the Schedule: click on the View Schedule button or via the Main Menu, by clicking on Schedule and selecting the option of your choice
Once you are in the Schedule, you can quickly modify the availabilities for one or all of the timetables for your course
This is how the options appear on your booking engine:
Note:
The option has been set as Cancellable with charges: these appear as an indication in the booking engine (see above)
You can make your option a Special Offer (e.g. rental with packed lunch) or a Promotion (e.g. a 30% discount for 3 days booked)
You can set prices per season for each of your options, but you can also set prices on a day-by-day basis or for specific periods by entering them directly in the Schedule
Once you've created your option, if you've set up one or more booking engines with a specific selection of offers, make sure you add the option so that it's available to your customers.
