You are only four quick steps away from accepting online bookings:


Step 1

Click on SETTINGS in the top menu bar.

Fill in:

  • Admin Info
  • Property Info
  • Room Info
  • If you have more than one room type add another room
  • Add at least one rate per room


Step 2

Check your booking page.


Step 3

Click on WIDGETS in the left menu. Choose the widget you want to use. If required you can customise the appearance.

Copy your widget to your website. To install the booking widgets on your web site you will need the ability to edit the HTML of your page. This may involve knowing the passwords for your web server and the ability to transfer your files. Your web hosting service should be able to provide information and assist you with this.


Step 4

Test everything is working and your done.


Congratulations! You are now receiving online bookings.

Once the setup is completed Properties shows you each property with its rooms and the next booking coming up for each. New online bookings will be added automatically. You can also enter new bookings manually.

Setting up your Beds24.com account is free if you do it yourself. We can do the setup for you for a small one off fee starting from $19. Technical support for you or your webdesigner to integrate the availability calendars and booking widgets into your website is free. Upon request we can do this for you as well. Please contact us.
