Create a URL that links directly to a specific rate plan in your booking engine. When visitors open this link, they'll go straight to the rate plan you want to showcase.
You can use rate plan URLs for your booking engine to:
Create targeted marketing campaigns that link directly to rate plans with specific offers and packages
Share special promotions and seasonal deals on social media
Build landing pages that showcase your best rate plans
Direct guests to early bird, advance purchase, or last-minute deals
Combine with room type filtering for highly targeted campaigns (e.g., honeymoon package for suites only)
To create a rate plan URL, you'll need to:
Find your rate plan ID using Inspect/Developer Tools in your web browser.
Add the rate plan ID to your booking engine URL.
Find your rate plan ID
To link directly to a rate plan, you'll need to find its unique ID number. Follow these steps:
Open your booking engine page.
Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect or Developer Tools.
In the Developer Tools panel, click on the Network tab.
Look for the network responses.
Search for the roomTypes API response.
Find the rate plan ID number in the response data.
Create your rate plan URL
Once you have the rate plan ID, create your URL using this format:
For properties in Asia or the Pacific:
book-directonline.com/properties/[propertyname]?ratePlanId=[ID]
For properties in Europe, Middle East, Africa or America:
direct-book.com/properties/[propertyname]?ratePlanId=[ID]
💡 Replace [propertyname] with your property name and [ID] with your rate plan ID number.
For example, if your rate plan ID is 456789, your URL might look like this: https://book-directonline.com/properties/propertyname?ratePlanId=456789
💡 If you use an invalid rate plan ID, all rates will be shown instead of the specific rate plan.
Rate plan extraction tool
There's a helpful tool available to extract all rate plan IDs and relevant links from your booking engine. To use this tool:
Copy the roomTypes API response from the Developer Tools Network tab.
Download this file.
Open the HTML file in your web browser.
Use the tool to extract all your rate plan IDs and links.
