What's New?!
Bookeasy Distribution Network's (BDN) External Search
Bookeasy is excited to announce the re-release of our newly refurbished External Search feature. From the standard Accommodation and Tour Search screens, you can now select the 'BOOKEASY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK' tab at the top of the page, to change the group of operators you are searching from those who are linked to your centre (My Operators) to external operators in various regions who have offered their product to your centre, through the BDN.

Payment Express - Newly Integrated Gateway Technology
Bookeasy has recently enhanced its Payment Gateway offering to destination partners with the integration of the Payment Express "PxPost" API. Similar to Bookeasy’s SecurePay and eWay integrations, the PxPost API is a direct integration, allowing for greater flexibility, interoperability and booking conversion
Updated Bookeasy CTA (Call To Action) Buttons
Bookeasy has enhanced its call to action buttons on the accom and tour searches to reflect a more logical colour scheme. View information about it here
Improvements
Apply multiple search filters in Reservation Search
When searching for reservations, staff can now successfully use more than one filter at a time, to further narrow down their search results
Guest's Cancellation Request sent to Operator
Any visitor centre using the module that enables the ability for a guest's cancellation request to be sent to a centre, will be affected by this change, where the operator now receives this notification also.
Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) now grouping operators based on OperatorID
This will ensure that all bookings included on an operator's RCTI belong to the one business, removing the risk of duplication
Add Fields to 'Export Returns'
The Export of Operator Returns now reflects both the Booking Location and BookedBy information, showing you where each reservation was made and the staff member that booked it
Itinerary Vouchers 'Phone Number' field
Vouchers available on each booking will now reflect the operator's phone number as opposed to 'Mobile'if no phone number is entered into the 'Phone'field, no Phone Number field will display on the voucher.
Repeat Guests can now Login
Bookeasy's Gadgets have been optimised to allow a repeat guest the ability to login to Bookeasy Gadgets which will now populate a Guest's saved details into the checkout fields, for a faster checkout and smoother experience
Apply multiple search filters in Reservation Search
When searching for reservations, staff can now successfully use more than one filter at a time, to further narrow down their search results
Disable make booking button after one click
When clicking the make booking/sale button the button will be replaced with a loading gif after the button is clicked once. This will stop duplicate bookings being inserted.
