Integration Settings

If using additional AddOn items (aka, Daily Charges) that guests may purchase when making their reservation through WebBook, these items must be entered and configured here.

Click the AddOn button to Create, Update or Delete AddOn items. Each AddOn item will have 3 tabs with information to enter.

Inactive Item: Checking this box will keep the configuration information for the item but no longer display the item for the guest to book.

Group Header Name: The name of the group or section that this AddOn will be displayed in. Grouping similar items together makes it easier for guests to view and select items. For example, you may have one group for Flowers that lists different floral arrangements available for purchase, another group may be Tickets with different event items guest may purchase tickets to during their stay.

Entry Number: The entry number is used to sort the items, lower numbers display first. Set the entry numbers in the order you would like to display the AddOn items on WebBook.

Short Description: This is essentially the title of the AddOn that will show on WebBook. It is a reference to what the item is that is available for the guest.

When another rate code is selected, the item will not display. Leave this field blank to not restrict the item to specific rate codes and always display the item.

Exclusive Group Code: Entering a group code here will only display the item for purchase when the guest has selected the corresponding group code.

Warning

When adding or modifying AddOns, you MUST sync them to WebBook so items are displayed properly with the current and current configuration. The simplest method to do this, after making any changes to AddOns is to close the Configuration window and immediately trigger a full rate update (Setup > Rates Management > Trigger WorldLink Update) This will send a current copy of the AddOns up to WebBook.
