Bookinglayer

Every business runs differently. Your plan should too.

Booking Engine, Backoffice, Customer Portal, and Payments are in every plan. Everything else is optional. Add it when your operation calls for it, leave it out when it doesn't.

Channel Manager

Sell on 35+ channels from one calendar

Every platform you sell on is another calendar to manage. A booking lands on one, and you log into the others to block the dates, hoping you got there first. The Channel Manager syncs availability across 35+ channels in real time from one central calendar, so a booking anywhere blocks the dates everywhere. Bookinglayer takes no cut of your channel bookings. The add-on's fixed monthly amount is the whole cost on our side.

  • Real-time sync across 35+ channels. No manual blocking, no overbookings.

  • Per-channel rates and inventory. Sell at different prices on different platforms.

  • Revenue per channel in Reports. See which channels earn their keep.

Booking Widget

Live availability, right on your website

If your website can't show what's free, guests email to ask. Or they book somewhere that answers faster. The Booking Widget embeds a live availability overview on any page of your site, as a list or a calendar, pulling from the same central calendar as everything else. Guests see what's open, click, and book without ever leaving your domain.

  • One line of code. Works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Drupal, or anything custom-built.

  • Real-time availability. Updates itself from your calendar. Nothing to maintain by hand.

  • Your brand, every device. Styled to your site, responsive on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

API & Webhooks

Built around an API

Bookinglayer is built around an API. Accounting in Xero, marketing in Mailchimp, a dashboard your developer built: your operation runs on more than booking software, and your data should flow through all of it without copy-paste. REST, OAuth2, 30+ endpoints covering bookings, guests, and invoices, plus webhooks that push changes to your other tools the moment they happen.

  • REST API, OAuth2. Standard, secure, documented.

  • 30+ endpoints. Bookings, guests, invoices, and more.

  • Webhooks. Real-time pushes when bookings, payments, guests, or invoices change.

Application Form

Screening and approval for bookings that need a conversation first. Custom forms adapt with dependent fields, so guests only see questions relevant to their answers. Forms expire automatically if they aren't completed in time, and everything routes into the Customer Portal and the Backoffice approval queue.

  • Dependent fields. The form adapts to each guest's answers instead of asking everyone the same questions.

  • Automated expiry. Forms that miss the deadline cancel themselves, no manual follow-up.

  • Approve or reject from the Backoffice, integrated with the Customer Portal.

Digital Waivers

Every guest signs before they arrive, from any device, through the Customer Portal, instead of on paper at check-in. Reminders go out automatically for waivers still unsigned, and signing status is visible in real time so front desk queues disappear.

  • Any device. Guests sign with a mouse, trackpad, or finger, no separate app.

  • Automated reminders for unsigned waivers, sent without you asking.

  • Stored and downloadable anytime, visible in the Backoffice in real time.

Gift Cards

Sell the experience itself as a gift, not just a manual credit and an email chain. Redemptions and outstanding balances are tracked automatically and managed from the Backoffice, so a gifted booking flows through the same system as every other one.

  • Sell gift cards directly, no manual workaround.

  • Redemptions flow straight into the booking system.

  • Balances and outstanding amounts tracked in the Backoffice.

Inquiry Form

For bespoke bookings that need a conversation before they can be confirmed. A drag-and-drop form builder captures dates, group size, and preferences in one structured submission instead of an email thread, styled to match your site. When you're ready, convert the inquiry straight into a booking from the Backoffice.

  • Drag-and-drop form builder with custom sections and mandatory fields.

  • Theme editor and custom CSS, styled to match your site.

  • Convert an inquiry into a booking with one action in the Backoffice.

Customer Portal Add-Ons

Guests add extras, airport transfers, massages, equipment rental, activities, to a booking that's already paid for, browsing the Customer Portal on their own time. 27% of clients using portal add-ons see guests book extras, with no email and no extra effort from your team.

  • 27% of clients using portal add-ons see guests book extras.

  • Guests browse and add extras themselves, any time before arrival.

  • Revenue lands before arrival instead of being discovered on-site.

Rate Management

Set pricing rules once instead of adjusting every package by hand when the season changes. Increase or decrease standard rates for specific dates or entire seasons, with date-specific overrides for holidays and special events.

  • Seasonal pricing rules apply automatically, set once and left alone.

  • Date-specific overrides for holidays and special events.

  • No more manually re-checking the calendar for stale prices.

Waiting List

Accept reservations even when a room or a date is full. Guests join a waiting list instead of walking away, and a cancellation automatically notifies and converts the next person in line, so sold-out demand doesn't just disappear.

  • Capture demand for sold-out dates instead of losing it.

  • Automatic notification and conversion when a cancellation frees up a spot.

  • See which dates have the most unmet demand.

Guest Group Pricing

Create rates for different guest profiles, adults, teens, kids, and let mixed groups book together in one flow. The Booking Engine calculates the total automatically instead of an email asking what the rate is for kids.

  • Separate rates for adults, teens, and kids.

  • Mixed groups book together in one booking.

  • Pricing calculates automatically in the Booking Engine.

Session Planner

Create activity sessions that pull guests together from multiple bookings, then assign instructors to each group. Works alongside Day Plan to organize the day's activities across every current guest in one view instead of a whiteboard and a spreadsheet.

  • Group guests from multiple bookings into one session.

  • Assign instructors to each group in the same view.

  • See activity demand in advance instead of discovering it on-site.

Automated SMS

Send timed, personalized SMS to guests before or after arrival, for the reminders that matter too much to risk sitting unread in an inbox. Complements Automated Emails: SMS for the time-sensitive messages, email for the longer ones.

  • Timed and personalized, sent automatically around arrival.

  • Higher open rates than email for urgent, time-sensitive messages.

  • Complements Automated Emails instead of replacing them.

Currency Conversion

Show international guests prices in their own currency while you keep charging in your base currency. Choose fixed conversion rates you control, or daily exchange rates that update automatically, either way less friction at checkout.

  • Guests see prices in their own local currency.

  • You always charge and collect in your base currency.

  • Fixed rates or daily exchange rates, your choice.

Accommodation Transfers

When no single room covers a guest's full stay, the system books them into two rooms with an automatic transfer between them, instead of rejecting the booking or managing the swap by hand. The guest sees one booking; you keep the inventory filled.

  • Automatic room transfer when no single room covers the full stay.

  • Guest sees one booking, the system manages the logistics.

  • Fills gaps between bookings that would otherwise sit empty.

Partner Login

Give travel agents and booking partners a limited view of your Backoffice, so they check real-time availability and book directly instead of emailing or calling. Partners see only what you allow, and can't touch your pricing, settings, or other bookings.

  • Partners check real-time availability without emailing you.

  • Booking on your behalf, directly from their own login.

  • Access is scoped. Partners see only what you allow.

Zapier

Connect Bookinglayer to 5,000+ apps, Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp, and more, without writing any code. A no-code alternative to the API, for automating the tasks around every booking without a developer.

  • 5,000+ apps connected without code.

  • Automate repetitive tasks across your existing tools.

  • The no-code alternative to the API and webhooks.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What add-ons does Bookinglayer offer?

Bookinglayer offers 17 advanced add-ons on top of the core plan, covering areas like channel distribution, guest screening, waivers, gift cards, rate management, and custom integrations. Every plan already includes the Booking Engine, Backoffice, Customer Portal, and Payments, so add-ons only cover the extra capability a specific operation needs, not the core platform itself.

How does Bookinglayer add-ons affect the price plan?

Bookinglayer charges a fixed monthly amount per add-on. There's no commission and no tier jump; the add-on amount is the whole cost. Because every plan is configured around the operation it serves, the exact amounts are worked out in the demo call.

What is Bookinglayer's Channel Manager?

Bookinglayer's Channel Manager is Channex. It syncs availability across 35+ booking platforms, including Booking.com, Airbnb, and Expedia, from one central calendar in real time. A booking made on any single channel blocks that inventory everywhere else immediately, which is the mechanism that prevents a room or activity slot from being sold twice across different platforms.

What is Bookinglayer's Booking Widget?

Bookinglayer's Booking Widget is a code snippet that embeds live availability directly on any page of your own website, as a list or a calendar. It installs with one line of code on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Drupal, or a custom built site, and pulls from the same central calendar as every other booking source, so guests see accurate availability and book without leaving your domain.

Does Bookinglayer offer digital waivers?

Yes, Bookinglayer offers digital waiver. Guests sign waivers from any device through the Customer Portal before arrival instead of on paper at check in. Bookinglayer sends automatic reminders for waivers still unsigned and shows signing status in the Backoffice in real time, which is what removes the paperwork bottleneck at the front desk.

Can I change my Bookinglayer add-ons later?

Yes. Add-ons can be activated or dropped at any time. An operator can turn on the Channel Manager for high season and switch it off once demand drops, paying the fixed fee only while it's active.

Does Bookinglayer support seasonal or dynamic pricing rules?

Yes, Bookinglayer supports seasonal and dynamic pricing rules through the Rate Management add-on. Seasonal pricing rules are set once and apply automatically going forward, with date specific overrides available for holidays or special events, which removes the need to manually re-check and re-price the calendar every time a season changes.
