Sometimes you might want to make it easier for guests by sending them to a booking engine with check-in dates, number of guests, room type, and more already filled in.

It’s perfect for things like:

• A Book Now button next to a specific room on your website.
• Sharing special offers in newsletters.
• Preloading booking details for guests attending an event.

These pre-filled details are just defaults—guests can still update them after arriving on the booking engine.

What details can be pre-filled?

You can customize the booking experience by pre-filling these fields:

• Check-in and check-out dates.
• Starting page – either the Search page, where guests enter their stay dates, or the Results page, which shows room availability for pre-filled dates.
• Number of guests.
• Coupon code.
• Room type, or a specific room if Room choice is enabled.

• Room category, if you’ve grouped your room types into categories.
• Language, based on browser or manually set.

Create a booking engine with pre-filled details

Once you’ve decided what to pre-fill, here’s how to set it up:

1. Go to Settings > Booking engines
2. Click the three dots on the same row as the booking engine you want to use
3. Select Install
4. Open the Advanced settings
5. Fill in the fields, like the default room type, number of guests, coupon code, and more
6. Install the booking engine on your website or send it as a direct link, as usual

Want lots of pre-filled booking engines?

You can create as many versions of your booking engine as you like, each with different pre-filled booking details.

Just repeat the steps above to adjust the settings each time.
