If you want to offer different currencies for your international guests to book, you need to set up different links that can be added to your website. There are a few steps to follow to create these links.
This is what an alternative currency will look like on your booking form.
Check if your payment gateway can support extra currencies
- If a you have a payment gateway connected to NightsBridge, please check that your payment gateway can support these extra currencies.
- For example, if a you are a South African property and using PayBridge, you need to be aware that payments will fail if you want to have a Dollar rate on your website, as PayBridge can only transact in ZAR.
