Softrip has added a new system setting to allow for the operators to decide what type of options they want the external user to have when creating a new reservation. This will now allow for having a button for “Package Search”, “Search Vacations”, or “New Reservation”, depending on the settings selected. You can select 1, 2, or all 3 as options. If no options are selected, the Package Search will be the only option available by default.
This setting is now added under the Reservation Display Settings → My Account
Package Search
Takes the user to the Package Search screen to search for any packages available to book
Search Vacations
Takes the user to the Vacation Builder / FIT shop form to search for a la carte reservation options
New Reservation
Allows the tour operator to enter in the specific URL that the user should be taken to when clicking the button
This will allow for you to redirect the user to your home page or to another shop process that is not hosted by Softrip
Why it’s important:
Gives the flexibility of choosing which reservation options to give the external users
This can be based on operator preference OR if they only sell a certain type of trip
