Hotel Website Integration with RateTiger Booking engine
The RateTiger booking engine is easy to integrate with just a few simple steps. There are two ways in which a website can be integrated with the booking engine, and the search pattern will work accordingly. The hotel needs to decide how they would like the search and results to occur when connecting both systems.
Easy search option
The first option allows website developers to simply place a 'Book Now' button on their main website, similar to the one shown in the image below.
When the 'Book Now' button on the main website is clicked, it should redirect to the booking engine calendar page using the following redirection URL.The Easy search feature supports multiple languages, and the language code needs to be passed in the URL to ensure that the calendar page opens in the same language.
https://[hotelname].seebooking.com/#/home?lang=DE
From the calendar page, you can search with stay dates and occupancy to obtain availability and price results.
Advanced Search Option
The second option is more advanced compared to the first option. With this option, stay dates and occupancy can directly be searched on the main website, which will then lead to the booking engine result page displaying availability and prices. To implement this model, website developers will need to pass specific data as parameters in the search URL to the booking engine.
