Learn how Booking Website Pro plans differ and choose the option that best fits your website goals, features, and launch needs.
Creating a professional website to drive your direct sales efforts online has never been easier. In this guide, we will take you through the process of creating booking websites and Booking Websites Pro, so that you can provide travellers with a seamless booking experience.
Creating a Booking Website
From the Hostaway Dashboard, navigate to the tab Booking Website, click on Choose your plan, or scroll to the bottom of the page, and select Select Standard. Introduce the name of the Booking website and click Create.
For more customization of the different configurations available to you on this plan, please take a look at this booking website user guide.
All your created booking websites will be displayed in the Booking Website tab in a table, where you can have an overview of the status, current plan, and domains.
Creating a Booking Website Pro
From the table view, you can either upgrade existing booking websites or you can click on +Add Booking Engine > Select Pro at the bottom of the page.
You will be able to pick from multiple curated templates to build your Homepage. You can preview each of them by hovering over the template and clicking on Preview. Once you have picked one, click on Start Building.
Select the listings you want to display in the booking website, and enable the toggle if you want to automatically add new listings to the booking website.
Use this user guide for essential tips and step-by-step instructions to customize your website, publish it, and make changes later on efficiently as you improve it.
Settings and configuration for Booking Website Pro
Some of the booking website settings will continue to be managed in your Hostway dashboard as usual. Therefore, on your Pro plan, you can still access the settings screen of the booking website so you can customize the experience to your preferences.
From the table view, click on the booking website name. Once in the booking website itself, you will still be able to see the different settings also available in the free plan.
A note about the Design Tab
This design tab is for you to be able to customize the colors and style of all the pages outside the editor (property pages, all listings pages, etc). For the design of the homepage itself, click on Site editor.
Downgrade from Booking Website Pro to Booking Website Standard
You can downgrade your Booking Website Pro plan directly from your Hostaway Dashboard.
Please follow these steps:
- Go to the Booking Website in your Hostaway Dashboard
- In the list of available Booking Websites, select the correct website
- Click on the website name to open it
- On the right-hand side, click the three dots located next to the Site Editor button
- A dropdown menu will appear
- Select Downgrade
