Change to Per Person (variable) settings
We are pleased to announce that we have released a new version of the WebReserv booking system. The new version allows for up different pricing levels for up to 25 people when using variable rates. As part of this update, there has been a minor change to the way the system calculates the rate. If you are using Per Person (variable) in your setup, we recommend that you review these changes and update your settings if necessary.
When a room/rental/ tour is set to Per Person (variable) as the rate calculation type, the system will pick the rate from the column that matches the number of persons. If no rate is defined for this number of persons, the system will try with a lower number of persons until a rate is found.
Say for example that you have entered a rate for 1, 2 and 3 persons as shown below.
If a reservation is made for 2 adults, the rate will be $55.00. If a reservation is made for 3 adults, the rate will be $80.00. However, if a reservation is made for 4, 5 or 6 adults, the rate will be calculated as $80.00 as there is no rates defined for 4, 5 and 6 adults.
If the rate per person is the same regardless of the number of persons, we recommend that you change the rate type to Per Person (flat).
How to set up “By Invitation Only” reservations
By default, the WebReserv booking system will show all products/rentals/tours in the booking calendar. This works great when we use WebReserv as a tour booking system or rental booking system or similar type of activity where all our products are available to the public.
However, sometimes we may offer tours or rentals that are available only to a specific group of people. Here’s how to do it:
First, go to Setup – Products & Reservation Rules – [Select Product] – Description and set Show in booking calendar to No.
Adding Arrival/Departure Information to reservation emails
The new version of the WebReserv booking system includes the ability to automatically add arrival and/or departure information to reservation emails. The arrival/departure information is often used for vacation rental booking systems and for property management booking systems, but can also be used for other types of businesses.
To add arrival and/or departure information to a rental or tour, go to Setup – Products & Reservation Rules – [Select Product] – Reservation Rules. The arrival/departure information fields are located at the bottom of the page.

Adding lunch baskets to tour bookings
This example shows how to add different types of lunch baskets to bookings, but it can be used for all other types of add-ons to bookings including segway tour bookings, boat tour bookings etc.
First create a custom field (list) with the Sandwiches.
After creating the custom field. Go to the product/tour where the lunch basket is to be included and add it under “customer information”.
The lunch basket is not added to the booking calendar is the customer can select the number of sandwiches during checkout.
In some cases, you may have different types of sandwiches. Say, ham and hurkey. This can easily be supported using the WebReserv booking system. Just create two custom fields, one for ham and one for turkey.
Again, remember to select the custom fields under “customer information”. In this scenario, we also created a custom field of type “information” and called it “lunch options”.
When the customer makes the reservation, the customer can now select how many ham sandwiches to add and how many turkey sandwiches to add.
The cost for the sandwiches are included in the total during the check out process:
