Understand How Guest Portal works

Every reservation has a unique personalized customer portal as shown above

The same pre-arrival link of a reservation becomes the guest portal once online check-in is completed.

Guest cannot get to the guest portal if pre check-in is incomplete.

If there are no pre check-in requirements, then pre check-in link automatically becomes the guest portal


How Does Guest Receive Their Guest Portal Link

Option 1:

You can choose to have this link sent immediately after the reservation is received or select a time that is relative to check-in day. By default immediately after booking

Option 2:

You can manually send/re-send it in the bookings page as shown below


Option 3:


If you would rather send the link through your PMS messaging system, you can also send the link through your system. Each reservations unique link can be generated using the following template URL

**You need to change the placeholders or variables [BookingID] and [FirstName] with your PMS-provided template variables.

Replace the square bracket by the dynamic variable of your PMS
