How to create/edit a Hotel Service

To create/edit a hotel booking type, the steps are as follows:

1- Enter/Edit the product title on the product edit page.
2- In the “Booking Options → Settings” tab, select the “Booking Type” option as “Hotel”.
3- Enter/Edit the following information:

• Booking Title / Service Name (This field is optional)
• Start Date
• End Date
• Booking Duration
• Check-in Time
• Check-out Time
• Minimum Stay Duration (Minimum number of days for hotel bookings. Leave empty for no minimum restrictions.)
• Maximum Stay Duration (Maximum number of days for hotel bookings. Leave empty for no maximum restrictions)
• Adult Count fields (Min, Max fields)
• Child Count fields (Min, Max fields)
• Assigned Resource/Staff (This field is optional)
• Physical Location (In the Location tab)
• Regular Price (In the Pricing tab)
• Sale Price (In the Pricing tab, this field is optional)

In the advanced rules tab, you can provide rules to increase/decrease the final price of the booking duration. The steps to create pricing rules are as follows:

1. Provide a Rule Name: Give your rule a descriptive name for easy reference.
2. Enable the Rule:
   
   Check the box → Rule applies immediately while calculating the price.
   
   Uncheck the box → Rule applies on the frontend as the customer selects the duration.
   
   
3. Rule Order: Rules are applied from lowest to highest number. Make sure the order reflects how you want the rules to be processed.
   
   Select the rule type. You can select from the following options:

• Range of Months: Apply during specific months. Example: Selecting January to January means you want to apply the respective rule for the current year’s January month only.
• Booking Duration (Days): Apply based on the number of days booked (booking duration). 
• Custom Date Range: Apply between specific dates. 
• Advance Booking Time: Apply based on how far in advance a booking is made.

Select the “Price Adjustment” and the amount. You can select from the following options:

• + Add:
  Fixed amount is added and applied on per day basis (multiplied by booking duration). For a 1-day booking, if the total price is $100 and you add $20, the new total becomes $120 because 100 plus 20 equals 120. For a 2-day booking, if the total price is $100 and you add $20 for each day, the new total becomes $140 because 100 plus 20 times 2 equals 140.
• – Subtract:
  Fixed amount is subtracted and applied on per day basis (multiplied by booking duration). For a 1-day booking, if the total price is $100 and you subtract $20, the new total is $80. For a 2-day booking, if the total price is $100 and you subtract $20 per day, the new total is $60.
• +% Add Percentage:
  Percentage addition (+%) is applied to the Total price once. Example: If the total price of a product’s duration is $100 and 20% is applied, then the new total price of the duration will come out to be $120. Since $100x 0.2=$20 and $100 + $20=$120.
• -% Subtract Percentage:
  Percentage subtraction (-%) is applied to the Total price once. Example: If the total price of a product’s duration is $100 and 20% is applied, then the new total price of the duration will come out to be $80. Since $100x 0.2=$20 and $100 – $20=$80.

6- Will the customers receive Zoom’s manual link and automatic link appointment emails if Google is not integrated on your site?
The customers will not receive Zoom’s manual link and automatic link appointment emails if Google is not integrated on your site. Google’s Integration is solely responsible for sending appointment emails for both Zoom and Google meeting links.

7- Why is the Automatic Meeting Link option is not visible on my Localhost?

The Automatic Meeting Link Generation option is not available on localhost environments. This feature requires:

• A publicly accessible website (staging or live – not localhost).
• A properly connected Google Calendar integration.

What you should do:

1. Move your site to a staging or live server.
2. Connect your Google Calendar in the add-on settings.

Once these requirements are met, the Automatic meeting link generation option will become available and work as expected.

8- Zoom is connected, but I don’t see the “Automatic” meeting link option for booking products. Why?

If Zoom appears connected but the “Automatic” meeting link option is missing, please check the following:

1. Google Calendar must be connected
Automatic meeting link generation for both Zoom and Google Meet depends on the Google Calendar integration. Even if Zoom is successfully connected, the system cannot generate automatic meeting links unless a Google account is also connected in the add-on settings. Once Google Calendar is connected, the “Automatic” option will become available.

2. Reconnect Zoom if needed
If the option still does not appear, disconnect your Zoom account from the add-on settings and reconnect it to refresh the API permissions.
