Ecommerce Platform | Making treatments bookable & Troubleshooting availability


Treatments and Spa Days availability in the ecommerce platform will always reflect the setup in our experience management system - EMS (previously known as Premier). Please follow the checklist below to ensure Treatments can be added to the basket and booked online with the correct pricing and availability. Detailed instructions for each element can be found in the linked articles.
​​​​​

Issue one: Individual treatments are not showing availability consistently

If individual treatments aren't showing availability online once published, we always recommend checking if it can be manually booked within EMS first.
If it can’t be manually booked within your EMS diary (via reception), please see if a reason is provided e.g. No Rooms or No Staff available. You will also need to check if the diary has slots of the necessary length available.

If the diary has the relevant column availability (for the correct length of time), please check the EMS points below, before moving onto our ecommerce platform’s points.

EMS (previously known as Premier) configuration:

If you have recently been gone live with our ecommerce platform, we also recommend checking that Automatic Reservation References is enabled (Enabling automatic reservation references is enabled)

Ecommerce platform configuration:


Issue Two: Treatments have intermittent availability

If you find that sometimes availability is displayed and sometimes it isn’t, it is usually due to the requested data not being delivered to our ecommerce platform in a timely fashion.

Possible areas that your IT team will need to check if you are not on Cloud:
  • If the internet connection to your network is fast enough and has enough bandwidth to meet the requirements.

  • If there is too much internet traffic on your network.

  • If your server doesn't meet the minimum hardware standards recommended by our EMS team, please contact our team for the most up-to-date recommendation.

  • If back-ups or other operations/software is running during the day on the server which is using up the processing power.

  • If your server needs rebooting.

  • If your connection to the proxy server requires resetting

If you are on Cloud or if the above step does not resolve the availability error on your storefront, please contact our support team via live chat at support.journey.travel so we can investigate this as a priority.


Issue Three: Cannot add treatment to the basket 

If an item cannot be added to the basket on your storefront, it is usually due to Promotional Pricing not being set up for the item in Premier.

  • Follow the steps in this article to check that Promotional Pricing is set correctly for the treatment and any extras (that can be added to the reservation e.g. Glass of Prosecco) - (How to apply Promotional Pricing)

Please reach out to our support team if the issue persists with a specific example that we can investigate further. E.g. The spa item that errored, the date you were trying to make the booking for and when the error occurred on your computer.


Issue Four: No availability for ALL treatments and spa days

If availability has been working successfully for treatments and spa days, and suddenly stops for all and you are not on Cloud, please complete the following:

  • Please ask your IT Team to restart your Premier API services, as outlined here - (No availability after reboot)

  • Or if the connection to the API is being refused.

If you are on Cloud or if the above step does not resolve the availability error on your storefront, please contact our support team via live chat at support.journey.travel so we can investigate this as a priority.
