Online Booking Manager - Hotels Portal can be used by any hotels portal business (i.e. agencies, hotels associations) which rent their properties per room basis.
Online Booking Manager - Hotels Portal keeps the things fast and simple with friendly but powerfull administrative panels for the portal owner and for each individual property/hotel owner.
Using the Online Booking Manager - Hotels Portal friendly front-end, your guests can check availability for all the properties from the system and book a room instantly, thus closing a booking without having to wait for the reservations staff to confirm the reservation.
Online Booking Manager - Hotels Portal will be installed on your server and will be only under your control.
No other hidden fees (like monthly, yearly fees) or commissions from the reservations made through the Online Booking Manager - Hotels Portal.
If you intend to "rent" the booking system to the individual hotels websites by inserting a link (or a room search form/iframe etc) into the individual hotel website to point to the portal booking engine then you MUST buy a "Hotel Website Bookings" module for each hotel you want to put the booking link for. The "Hotel Website Bookings" module is mandatory for a hotel in case you want to "link" its individual hotel website with the portal booking engine installed on the portal licensed domain website. For more details please check the "Hotel Website Bookings" module description below.

Optional Modules installed at the "portal level"
- Online Payment Processor (for portal administrator) (*):
the portal administrator can set for each hotel a commission percentage.
The deposit percentage (from the total cost of the reservation) taken at booking time will be equal with the commission (=deposit) percentage set by the portal administrator for each hotel.
So, this deposit(commission) will be taken into the portal administrator's merchant account.
Also, in this case the invoicing mechanism can be avoid because the portal administrator take his commission at the booking time and the guest will pay the remaining amount at the hotel check-in (or check-out).

Optional Modules installed at the "hotel level"

Hotel Website Bookings:
The "Hotel Website Bookings" module offers:
- the possibility to set a different commission/deposit for the reservations made directly from the hotel's website (based on a tracking code) than the commission taken when the reservation is coming from the portal licensed website. If no commissions are taken, this tracking code will identify the booking source, so the hotel/portal admin will be able to see in their reports if a reservation was made directly from their website/or not. So, the system will identify the booking source: hotel's website or portal's website.
- the possibility to allow the hotel to set its own payment options to be available to the guest if the reservation process is initiated/started from the hotel website.
- the possibility to set its own template to be used if the reservation process is initiated/started from the hotel website.
- Online Payment Processor (individual for each hotel) (*):
The hotelier can set his own deposit to be taken at booking time in his own merchant account (this module requires the hotel to be "Hotel Website Bookings" enabled)
For currently supported online payment gateways please check the link below:
