This page explains how you can track bookings.
<span style== Referrer == Please note"color: #f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas: lightbulb}} </span> The English word '''referrer''' is spelled with two '''r'''s. However, the parameter's name in the URL is spelled '''referer''' with only one '''r'''.
All bookings contain a referrer field (under the tab "Details"). The content of this field is set in the link which opens the on-line [[:category:Booking Page|booking page]] for the guest.
An example link to your booking page would be:
http://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=13437&referer=Beds24
When a guest clicks this link, the text "Beds24" will be recorded as the referrer of any resulting booking. You may set the text ("referer=text") to different values for different links and track which links are generating your bookings.
All our availability calendars and booking widgets can contain the parameter "referer=text", either as a hidden parameter, or in the URL, depending on the widget. You can set the referrer for a widget here:
You also have the option to add your custom referrer. Please see the [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Category:Widgets#Parameters widgets help pages] for instructions.
