Direct booking rates allow you to sell your rooms through the Little Hotelier booking engine.
Adding rates to your booking engine
Before guests can book directly through your website, you need to add your existing room rates to Direct booking:
Navigate to Direct booking > Direct booking rates
Look for rates with the Not added status
Select the room rate you wish to add, then click Add to direct booking
Review the details in the summary screen, then click Add
Important: Rates showing an Incomplete setup status require additional information. Edit these rates to complete all required fields before adding them to Direct booking.
Editing direct booking rates
After adding rates to your booking engine, you can customise the configuration:
Navigate to Direct booking > Direct booking rates
Select the room rate you want to modify, then click Edit
Make required changes
Click Save
Direct booking rates inherit their configuration from your room rates by default. To create booking engine-specific settings, click the lock icon next to any field and enter your new value.
Temporarily stop selling a direct booking rate
If you need to pause selling a particular rate, you can suspend it without permanently removing it:
Navigate to Direct booking > Direct booking rates
Locate and select the rate you wish to suspend
Click Suspend
To make the rate available again later, follow the same steps and click Unsuspend.
Delete a direct booking rate
If you no longer wish to sell a rate on your booking engine:
Navigate to Direct booking > Direct booking rates
Select the rate you want to remove
Click Delete direct booking rate
Confirm by clicking Delete
Note: This only removes the rate from your booking engine. The original rate remains in the Rooms and rates section and can be re-added to Direct booking at any time.
