You can customise ecommerce platform links which can be particularly helpful when linking from your main website to a specific room, rate or promo rate code. Here are a few examples…
Rooms that have a maximum/minimum number of guests:
The default search will be two adults. Therefore if a room or rate has occupant restrictions above this, it will show as unavailable without the URL additions.
/rooms/ROOMCODE&adults=X&children=X
Enter the room code where highlighted above.
Replace the X's with the number of adults and/or children needed to book.
Rates that are only available on specific dates:
/rates/RATECODE?fromDate=YYYY-MM-DD&toDate=YYYY-MM-DD
Enter the rate code where highlighted above.
Replace the above YYY-MM-DD with the dates desired.
Rates that are set up as promo rates need to have the code entered into the link.
/rates/RATECODE?&promoRateCode=PROMORATECODE
Replace the above with the desired rate code in capitals and then do the same for the correlating promo rate code.
Promo rate code that needs to land on specific dates.
/rates/RATECODE?fromDate=YYYY-MM-DD&toDate=YYYY-MM-DD&promoRateCode=PROMORATECODE
A specific example of where this may be helpful would be:
If you had an executive room that had no minimum or maximum restrictions and you wanted a link straight to your website then a URL such as the one below (that only has the room name at the end) would work perfectly........
https://example.onejourney.travel/rooms/EXEC
However, if there was a restriction that you could only book for a minimum of 4 guests the URL link would need to look like this instead.....
https://example.onejourney.travel/rooms/EXEC&adults=4&children=0
