QloApps Marketplace On-Desk Booking is an add-on for QloApps Marketplace that empowers your marketplace to take on-desk bookings.
As you know, through the QloApps Marketplace Addon you can convert your hotel booking website into a marketplace of hotels where hotelier can list their hotel and you will earn commission on each booking they receive from your marketplace website.
But, have you wondered how will your sellers manage their bookings in case guests directly walk to their front desk and how will the inventory get updated in the marketplace when the sellers take the offline booking?
QloApps Marketplace On Desk Booking Addon is the solution to all such problems.
It helps sellers create offline bookings from their accounts and eliminates inventory mismanagement that could lead to overbooking or underbooking.
This will ease your seller’s offline booking management process. Therefore, enhancing the functionality of your marketplace and improving your relations with your seller.
So let us understand how this module will help sellers take offline bookings seamlessly.
Note:
You need to install QloApps Marketplace before using this module.
The Admin Commission in case the seller receives On Desk booking will be zero because these bookings are directly received by the seller rather than from the Marketplace website.
