Partner with resellers and agents

Work with resellers such as hotel concierges or tourist information points to sell trips, by booking directly into your system. Cut out back and forth phone calls to confirm bookings.

How it works

  • Create a custom URL for your partners/resellers via widgets.

  • Share this unique URL with your partner and provide embedding instructions.

  • Optionally set a custom price for this partner. When setting a price, under "conditions," select "booked via partner" and then proceed with the desired settings..

  • Easily track bookings within your Let's Book dashboard using the unique partner identifier assigned to each URL.

Filter bookings by specific partners in the booking overview, export them to Excel for analysis, and view partner details for each booking on the booking detail level.

Collaboration with Qondor

Let's Book now collaborates with Qondor, a French hardware and software provider, offering sleek and affordable integration solutions for boats. With a simple connection, you can now link your bookings directly to your fleet, enabling remote on/off toggling and real-time location tracking. Learn how to connect and how to implement it for your day-to-day use..

Overview

  • Implemented a condition that allows you to hide/show add-ons based on trip lengths. This simplifies tasks like assigning a captain to a trip and accurately pricing it. When adding an add-on, search for the condition 'trip duration'.

Trip timelines

At Let's Book, we've made it possible for you to link a boat to a booking and track the booking's progress with color-coded indicators: green for smooth sailing, yellow for setting sail soon, and red for "oops, they're running late!”
By doing this you get a comprehensive overview of which boats are docked or out making waves.

Allow customers to cancel their own bookings.

Here it is: the option for customers to cancel their trip themselves. But of course, not just anyone can do it: as the rental owner, you determine which customer types are allowed to cancel (for example, only your members), and under what conditions.

Go to customer types, select the role you want to edit, and find the section called 'cancellation settings'. You can also add a specific message before cancellation, for example, to communicate the cancellation conditions.

Before Departure: The customer receives an SMS with a link to their booking detail page. On this page, they can browse available boats for their selected time slot and make their choice.

Starting the Boat: If in line with rental settings, they can effortlessly start the boat with a simple click.

After the Trip: Upon returning from their trip, the customer can easily switch off the boat, signaling the end of their trip. As the rental owner, you have access to the entire trip timeline on the booking detail page, providing valuable insights into the journey.

We think it’s a nice way to offer convenience and freedom while maintaining control over your rentals. Read more about connected fleet and some tips for implementing it perfectly.
