At the end of 2020, marked by containment #2 of the Covid19 health crisis, many of you are asking us how you can offer all the gift cards and vouchers on your network's elloha accounts for sale online.
As it is not yet possible to generate a TDR (Tête de réseau) booking engine that displays these items directly (the BE list page with a presentation of gift cards from different elloha accounts has yet to be created; we hope to have it ready by the end of the year),
you can also use BE TDR URLs that point to an elloha account with the &onlyGifts=1 parameter
Example:
Gift cards" theme page on your website
This method consists of creating a themed page on your website listing the elloha accounts offering "Gift Ideas" with a link to the elloha BE which only displays the gift cards and vouchers created by the pro.
On your theme page, you create an HTML list with the following for each item:
-Title
-Photo
-Descriptive text
-Call to action" link (URL BE elloha with the &onlyGifts=1 parameter)
Here's an example from the Bayonne Tourist Office website for a "Shopping" theme page:
https://www.visitbayonne.com/fr/cote-pratique/boutique.php
Each item in the list refers to the BE elloha in detail for the product in question (in this example, there are two cultural leisure type elloha accounts set up to sell collector's posters).
Building the "Gift cards and vouchers" BE elloha URLs
For each elloha account offered on your theme page you need a BE elloha URL that points to the cards and gift vouchers in the elloha account.
The detailed procedure for integrating booking links on a website https://elloha.zendesk.com/hc/fr/articles/360000834138-Int%C3%A9grer-des-widgets-de-r%C3%A9servation-elloha-sur-un-site-web-TDR-elloha
can be summarised in these steps.
1-Take the URL of your TDR BE available in the Modules menu
2-Add to the BE URL the idOI(to be found in this way) of the elloha account that has gift cards and vouchers:
The BE URL becomes :
and points to the first availabilities of the elloha account using the parameter: &searchFirstAvailableDates=1
3-In order to send to the gift cards and vouchers entered in the account, you need to replace &searchFirstAvailableDates=1 with &onlyGifts=1, which gives :
By clicking on the link, the Internet user can directly view the gift cards and vouchers in your elloha partner account:
This is the type of link that you place on each item in the list on your theme page.
Note that if you want to better track your sales, we advise you to create a BE dedicated to these sales and filtered on a Selection of accounts tagged "gift cards" according to this procedure:
