Why is this important?
To maximise the occupancy rate of your holiday let, simplicity is key. The shorter the journey from discovering your listing to making a payment, the more potential guests you’ll convert into customers.
Autonomy: Your guests can book whenever they like, 24 hours a day.
Savings: By redirecting guests to your own booking system, you encourage direct bookings without commission.
Modernity: The QR code shows that your property is up to date and makes it easier to use on mobile devices.
Follow the step-by-step guide
Step 1: Access and configure your booking widget
To set up your booking engine, follow these steps:
In the left-hand side menu of your dashboard, click on Distribution, then Booking Engines.
Click the ‘Add a widget’ button or click on an existing widget to open the configuration tool.
Adjust the settings to suit your accommodation and check that the visual layout meets your guests’ expectations.
For advanced configuration, you can refer to the detailed article on widget settings.
💡 Tip: Remember to set up a custom domain name to boost the visibility of your listing and reassure your guests when they’re booking.
Step 2: Retrieve your link or QR code
Once your widget has been saved, you have two options for sharing your booking engine:
Copy the link: click this button to get the URL for your booking engine and embed it on your digital platforms.
This link is ideal for your social media, emails or external website. It allows your visitors to access your booking engine directly and book in just a few clicks.
QR code: click this button to download an image of your QR code, ready for use on your printed or digital materials.
The QR code is particularly useful on physical materials such as leaflets, business cards or posters. Your customers can simply scan it with their phone to instantly access your booking engine.
💡 Tip: Remember to test your link and QR code after generating them to check that they do indeed redirect to the correct page.
