Web release v. 2.35.0: More Booking Engine improvements
1. Linking new orders to reservations
If the guest already has reservations for future dates (or if they are booking one or more rooms), it is possible to link the order to the reservation while booking services.
2. A new feature in the booking engine for hotel chains
We have added a carousel that shows each hotel of the chain. Being on the Booking Engine of one hotel, the guest can switch to any other hotel from the list.
3. Improved room overview
If no dates are selected on the Booking Engine, you still can view the rooms.
4. Enhanced password recovery form
Now the password recovery link leads to the hotel’s Booking Engine instead of a marketplace.
5. New upselling functionality for deals
When the guest is about to book a deal, the system will offer to add services to the card.
