Presentation

This document presents Reservit tools intended for our clients and web agencies, enabling:

• Integration of various Reservit buttons (Hotel, Activities, and Restaurants) on hotel websites: Reservation URLs, Calendar of Rates and Availability, Quick Search, etc.

• Feeding the client's website with descriptive and pricing information: Graphic Widgets, Modal Windows, Best Rate Search API, XML or JSON Web Services for offer search.

• Integration of tracking tags and marketing actions on reservation pages.

Preliminary Remarks:

The following parameters can be used in most URLs presented below. Always replace:

• “hotelid=HHHHH” with the Reservit identifier of the establishment. (ID communicated by your account manager)

• “restauid=RRRRR” with the Reservit identifier of the restaurant. (ID communicated by your account manager)

• “lang=LL” with the desired language identifier

Our reservation pages are responsive. The URLs mentioned here are applicable to any screen format (desktop, tablet, mobile, in portrait and landscape modes).

Integration of Client's Graphic Charter

A client's graphic charter can be integrated by Reservit into the online reservation system pages in a standard mode. No graphic customization will be possible.

Only the following graphic elements are modifiable:

• Header / page header - only a banner in "image" mode is managed (an image or a banner up to 1024 pixels wide (maximum recommended height: 250 pixels) will be accepted). Banner in "flash" mode / dynamic menus (with redirection links to pages outside the Reservit system) are not supported.

• Single color code - possibility to implement a main color code throughout all steps of the reservation process (blue in the example above).

• Page background - possibility to insert a page background with either a color code or a static image.

N.B.: The footer is standardized by Reservit and is not customizable.

To customize the reservation pages, go to Property Information > Customization of the Reservit Booking Engine

Hotel Search Engine

Our search engines allow direct integration into the client's website pages for rate searches or reservations.

Various search engines are at your disposal: Graphic Widgets, quick search URLs, APIs.

“Best Rate Guaranteed” Graphic Widget

Reservit has developed an interactive widget to be integrated directly onto the hotel's website.

Example of widget

It has several functions. It allows:

• Real-time display of the best price by booking on the site for the requested dates

• A comparison with the best distributor rate

• Direct access to reservation from +criteria or See availability.

It adapts to the establishment's graphic charter. And is presented horizontally or vertically, and according to the desired width.

Note: Available through our integration assistant

Quick Search

There is also the possibility to set up your own quick search. For this, you will find below all the necessary parameters and information.

URL to complete with the parameters below (Step 1.2): http://softbooker.reservit.com/reservit/reserhotel.php?lang=LL&hotelid=HHHHH&fday=D D&fmonth=MM&fyear=YYYY&nbnights=NN&nbadt=ZZ

Parameters

Optional Parameters

“Best Rate” API

The integration of the API is an alternative to the widget.

The API allows retrieving the best available rate of the hotel, without inserting a graphic tool such as our dynamic rate widget into the hotel's website.

It is to be inserted into each page of the hotel's website where the client wishes to highlight their best rate.

Thus, it allows a client to highlight their best offers on the homepage of their website, on their rooms, promotions, and products pages.

The API receives parameters of dates, occupancy, and possibly the identifier of a distributor partner from the website, and provides in return the best rate of the hotel's website, as well as the best distributor rates (optional).

The API also allows obtaining the following rates:

The best rate of one or several rooms, for a category (all types of rooms combined), or for a given room type,

• The best rate of one or several special offers, for a given room type.

• The best rate of one or several products, regardless of room type.

• In the case of a search on several offers, the API returns the best rate among all the indicated offers.

These data can then be used through the source code of the hotel's website to be presented to the internet user.

The graphical integration is the responsibility of the Web Master. The API is suitable for Responsive websites.

Information: Available through our integration assistant.

Web Service for Accessing Offers

A web service is available for accessing a hotel's offers

This service enables a client to maintain their own promotional and product pages through Reservit.

It is designed to be invoked upon the display of a page on the client's website, thereby populating it with comprehensive information about one or more offers.

The data provided by this web service includes:

• For each offer (room, special offer, product): Title, photos, description (in the languages provided by the hotel), rates, availability (based on occupancy and date criteria), reservation and cancellation terms.

• For options applicable to the offer: Title, photo, description (in the languages provided by the hotel), rates, mandatory option, option payable on-site.

This web service is available in JSON format.

It is also available in XML, with an equivalent structure.

Online documentation is available, offering a detailed description of the message.

Example of an excerpt from the online documentation:

A dedicated assistant enables the generation of a response message based on specific arguments.

This new page also provides documentation on the use and integration of these tools.

Integration of Tracking Tags

Tracking tags can be implemented on Reservit reservation pages. They are integrable by hotel and by reservation channels.

They enable the integration of:

• Analytical tools: Google Analytics, Xiti, etc.

• Marketing tools: Google Adwords, Perferencement, etc.

• Retargeting tools: Ve Interactive.

• Many other solutions (graphical widgets, etc.)

The configuration is accessible via the manager, under the menu Hotel > Property Information > Configuration > Tracking tags

Some rules related to our PCI certification. All entered tags are technically validated by Reservit software editor, considering:

• Technical aspects,

• The popularity of the tag publisher,

• The pages on which they are applied (very few tags are accepted on the payment page),

• The implementation of tag managers (such as Google Tag Manager) is not accepted
