How to Track Bookings from Different Websites

  • Updated

If you manage multiple websites and want to track sales for each website, you can get this information using the Reseller feature. The reseller feature allows you to create booking widgets and links that are specific to a website (or business).

To create a Reseller for a website:

  • Go to Settings - Resellers
  • Select + Add Reseller
  • Code: This is the unique code that the system recognizes for this reseller.  The code is auto-generated and cannot be customized. The code will be used in booking widgets/links for tracking. (see below)
  • Reseller Details for website tracking: Name (required) & Website
  • Deposit: Set to Default - the reseller will take a payment from the customer based on the deposit rule set for the rental or activity
  • Commission: Set to 0.00% or leave blank
  • Checkout: This settings is unchecked so the reseller name will not show during online checkout - not needed for website tracking

Once the reseller is set up, the code can now be added to the booking widget and links for tracking. See how to below for each option.

https://app.bookingcentral.com/book/product/riversiderentals?location=4964ac8f-9045-418a-85ab-3c7864c94213&product=11ddb9d7-6020-4220-b159-b599fa45156b&referer=&clearcart&seller=190634

Once the reseller code has been added to the HTML code or booking links, the information can be added to the website. See instructions from your website editor on how to add codes and links to your website. Once added, all bookings that are made from that website will be tracked and can be seen on orders and in reports in the system. 

How to see what bookings were made from the website: 

The system will automatically track all bookings that were made from the website.  You can see the information in 3 ways:

1. On the Order. Orders will always identify how the booking was made. At the top of the order, you'll see details about when the order was created and by whom.

2. On the Bookings Tab. Add the Agent column to the bookings tab to see who made the order. This will show Web, User or Reseller name.

3. On the Orders Report. Add the Agent column to the Orders report to capture who made the order. Similar to the Bookings tab, the Agent column will show who made the order: Web, User or Reseller name.
