New Year, New Features

Happy 2019! We’re pleased to let you know that we’ve added a two new features to the WebReserv system to kick off a great year.

FEATURE #1 – Option to choose “Pay in Full” at checkout.

This is a great feature if you want your customers to bypass the preset deposit rule, and give them the option to pay in full. In addition, it gives you flexibility to also bypass the deposit rule when making a booking through Frontdesk, and take the full balance at checkout. This is helpful if you have walk up traffic or phone in reservations.

Here’s how it works for Customers:

Pay In Full for customers using the online calendar must be enabled under Setup – Business Information -> Payments. If set to yes, customers will be given the option to pay in full in Booking Calendar 2.0.

If enabled, the customer will see a checkbox below the payment information section when checking out in the booking calendar:

If “I prefer to pay the full amount” is selected, the customer will see this on the confirmation page (notice it says full amount instead of deposit amount):

Here’s how it works through Frontdesk:

When a user (employee or admin) creates a New Reservation through Frontdesk, they will be given the option to charge the full amount, deposit amount, or set another amount.

FEATURE #2 – Discount Code and Amount will now show in the Shopping Cart.

The ability for your customers to use a Discount Code when booking your products is already a wonderful feature in WebReserv.

A recent update now shows to the customer the discount code used, and the amount of the discount. When a customer is checking out, they enter their discount code in the field, and after they hit Apply, the discounted amount will show in the shopping cart summary of charges. See example below:
