The system offers different ways to upsell.


1.Offer extra services with the accommodation booking

Examples are half board, bicycle hire, a sightseeing trip, meals, parking etc which are booked together with the accommodation.

Go to SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> UPSELL ITEMS. Select the property you want to set. If you have multiple properties each property can have its own rules so set up individually.

Select whether the item is optional or obligatory. Obligatory items will be automatically added to the booking and cannot be removed by the guest. An example would be an end of stay cleaning charge or a tax. Optional items can be selected by the guest with their booking.

In RATES optional Upsell items can be enabled/disabled for individual rates. When a booking is made only those optional Upsell items enabled for any rate involved in the booking will be offered to the guest.

If a combination of Daily Prices and Rates is offered then all Upsell items will be offered.

Compulsory Upsell items are always enabled and cannot be disabled by a rate.


2. Offer extras which are not related directly to the accommodation booking

Examples are activities like tours, events, courses or car rental.

Go to SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES and click on ADD NEW PROPERTY. Click on EDIT and you will get to PROPERTIES -> DESCRIPTION. Enter the name (e.g. Daytrip, Car...) and the currency you accept. Set the "Type of Booking" to "Activity".

  • set Collect Number of Guests to No

Go to SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> CONFIRMATION MESSAGES and customise your messages. We suggest at least delete everything from the default that refers to accommodation. For example:
