You can create unique URLs (web addresses) that link to each of your promotion codes individually. You can also create URLs to show specific rate plans in your Direct booking engine.
Can I use promotion codes to provide links to my direct booking engine that show specific rate plans?
Yes! You won't be able to stop showing the rest of your rate plans, but you can use promotion codes to choose what rate plans you want to display first and create URLs to show specific rate plans.
Sometimes, you may want to send guests from a page on your website, where you talk about your current promotions, to a view of your direct booking engine that shows all the rate plans under that promotion. To have this type of view, you can use the fact that once a guest enters the promotion code, they will first see those rate plans associated with that promo code.
➕ You can create a promo code for a group of rooms that fall under the same rate plan, or create any other group you would like for each promo code. For example, you can have a link that opens all of your refundable rates.
💡 You can create a unique URL (web address) that links to each promotion code individually by taking the URL of your property (that you are using for your booking engine on your website) and then adding at the end ?promocode= with your promo code right after the equal (=) symbol.
Can I create a URL to show certain rate plans?
Yes, you can. If you want to create a URL to show specific rate plans with no discount in your booking engine, you can:
Create a promo code with no discount.
Link the promo code to all relevant rate plans.
Use the URL of your website and add ?promocode= at the end, and then add the promo code you have created for this.
➕ For example:
If the URL of your property is " https://app.littlehotelier.com/properties/examplehotel", you could then:
Make a promotion code to group your double room, and call it: DoubleRoom.
Link your DoubleRoom promo code to all the rate plans of your double room.
Create the URL: "https://app.littlehotelier.com/properties/examplehotel ?promocode=DoubleRoom "
This link will now open a page that only shows your double rooms' rate plans to the guest.
