You're able to offer your accommodation rates in an alternative currency on your NightsBridge Booking Engine. Once created, a link for the alternative currency can be added to your website for your international guests to book. There are a few steps to follow to create these links.
This is an example of what the alternative currency would look like on your Booking Engine.
Check if your payment gateway supports additional currencies
If using a connected payment gateway, please check that your payment gateway can support the additional currency.
- Example:
A South African property and using NightsBridge Pay would not be able to offer an alternative currency as NightsBridge Pay can only transact in South African Rands (ZAR).
1. Create a rate sheet in your preferred currency.
- You will need to create an additional rate sheet. This is done in the same way as you would make a new STO rate sheet:
- See our tutorial on how to create a rate sheet for different an alternative currency.
2. Link the alternative currency rate plan
Go to 'Web Rates'
- Select 'Channel Management' from the Main Menu
- Click on 'Web Rates'
Link your rate sheet to 'Alternative Currency'
- Click on the drop-down menu next to 'Alternative Currency'
- Select the alternative currency rate sheet from the list
- Click on 'Save'.
Copy & update the URL to make your preferred currency bookable
- Copy this link: https://book.nightsbridge.com/xxxx?nbid=619
- Replace the 'xxxxx' with your BBID number.
Share your Alternative Currency link
Once you've updated the link, it can be added to your website and shared on social media platforms, with Travel Agents and Tour operators.
- Any bookings made from this link will have 'Alternative currency' as its source. You can use this source to track how many bookings and how much revenue you've received from this source.
