Updating a Booking

Once you've add the Booking you'll want to add any Additional Guest details, Payments as they come through and also any Booking or Guest files (e.g. passport or visa scans) that relate to this booking. 

Additional Guests

If there is more than one guest on the Booking, add each additional Guest and select their Guest Type. Don't know how to create a Guest? Read ➡️HERE

Top Tip 💡: You don't have to add all of the Additional Guests when you initially create the booking, you can add (& delete) them at a later time by just clicking on the Booking to edit it.

Payments

To record a Payment to the booking, click 'Add Payment' and enter the applicable information, such as:

  1. The Payment type: Was it Cash, Credit Card, Online etc. 

  2. The Amount and currency

  3. The date of receipt

  4. The status of the payment

  5. The Bank Account it was received into 

  6. Additional information you want to record for reporting purposes

Top Tip 💡: If you're using our Tour Booking Engine with integrated online payments, when a guest books and pays you online, their payment will automatically appear here! 

Files

To attach files to the Booking, such as the guest's arrival details, dietary requirements, passports or visas, upload the pdf or images in the 'Files' tab.
