How do I set up Dineindulge as a booking extra?

Updated on

1. Go to Properties > Booking extras

2. Type the "Extra name" and click "Next" to fill in the Booking extras summary screen. Once completed click Save.

Add a description for this option so that guests are made aware that a price will be sent to them from Dineindulge once their booking is taken.

3. The price for Dineindulge should be set to £0 in SuperControl, as the price will be quoted and handled directly between you and Dineindulge. To add the price and other settings go to Properties > Booking extras  and click on the option "Dineindulge".

4. Select "All properties".

5. Set the "Max for this property" to 1 for every property you want Dineindulge to apply to. Then close the window. Your settings will save automatically.

Next step: Create an automated email to inform Dineindulge of a new booking.

1. Create Dineindulge as a contact in your address booking by going to Admin > Address book > Add contacts

2. Fill out the contact form including email address.

3. Set up an email for Dineindulge by going to Emails/Letters > Add letter.

4. Enter a letter name e.g. "Dineindulge email" and enter your content. You can build you letter using tags to avoid manually typing information.

Build the content of your template using tags. Click TAG within the toolbar and select relevant tags to populate your letter (e.g. Thank you for booking {property_name}; We look forward to you arriving on {property_arrival})... This means the tags will automatically pull through the correct information on each booking without you needing to manually update it.

Note: If using tags within the Booking properties section, ensure you click to "Add property section" <start> and <end> tags.  The <start> tag should be placed at the very top of the template and the <end> tag should be at the very end of the letter (see example, below). These are hidden when generated but allow the tags in between to show correctly.
