How It Works
Quick and easy online booking
1) You update your room rates and availability online using acolyte's clear system.
2) When a customer visits your website using a computer or smartphone they click on a booking link to our online booking system and are presented with a window within which they can choose a room and the dates of their stay.
The room choices available come direct from the room choices that you have supplied and can therefore be changed by you as often as you like. Any number of different rate plans and promotional rate rooms can be represented.
3) As soon as the customer makes their search the booking system checks if the rooms are available for the specified dates and shows its findings on screen.
4) The search results show the availability of the room (or rooms) on each of the days of the customer’s stay and also for a few days either side.
The search results also show the rate of the room on each day to allow the customer to adjust their choice based upon room rate just by clicking on alternate days.
If a room type is unavailable another available room type will be suggested.
5) The customer then supplies their details including credit card via our secure system. Optionally a deposit is requested, pay later or the full amount or "request only" depending upon your choice. We can even link to payment providers such as PayPal, WorldPay, Protex, WorldNet, etc.
6) Finally the customer is taken to a confirmation screen and sent an email summarising their transaction. This email will appear to come from your hotel and will contain your contact details and your terms and conditions. You can give us your own customised text to add to the email. You will also receive an email which you can use to view the booking online.
