Setting up the Booking Engine

The Millenium Connect Booking Engine allows you to receive direct bookings from your own website without relying on external booking platforms.

You can create a personalized booking page, select the properties you want to display, configure booking preferences, and customize the appearance of your booking experience.

Create your Booking Engine

To set up your Booking Engine:

  1. Go to Channels from the main menu.

  2. Select Booking Engine.

  3. Click Manage.

  4. Follow the setup steps.

Configure your Booking Engine

The setup process includes four main steps:

1. General settings

Add your business information and configure your Booking Engine URL.

This information will be used to identify your business and create your dedicated direct booking page.

2. Select your properties

Choose which properties you want to make available for direct bookings.

You can also highlight featured properties to display them first on your Booking Engine homepage.

3. Configure booking settings

Choose how guests can make reservations and how payments are handled.

You can decide between:

  • Instant booking: guests can confirm their reservation directly.

  • Request to book: guests send a booking request that you review before confirmation.

For payments, you can either collect payments manually or connect a payment provider such as Stripe to accept online payments.

4. Customize your branding

Personalize your Booking Engine appearance by adding your branding elements, such as your logo, colors, and other visual settings.

Once completed, click Create Booking Engine to activate your direct booking page.

Manage your Booking Engine

After creating your Booking Engine, you can access and update your settings anytime from:

Channels → Booking Engine → Manage

Your Booking Engine URL can then be shared with guests, added to your website, or used in your marketing channels to receive direct reservations.

Best practices

For the best guest experience:

  • Keep your property information, availability, and pricing updated.

  • Add your branding to provide a consistent experience.

  • Enable online payments if you want guests to pay directly during booking.
