Internet Templates Description
Php-residence allows you to create internet templates, that is pages to be integrated in your own
website so that the visitors can access to database informations updated in real time. The graphical
integration of the template page with the website can be total as you can insert your own html code
aruond the central element of the page.
Once that the template is created, it can be moved anywhere in your site or on other sites, as long as
the data to access the database inserted at the moment of creation remain valid. But it is more convenient
to set up the path where the file will be placed before creating it, this way you will be able, should you
have the necessity to create it again to modify something, to start from the settings inserted the last
time and furthermore the template will be automatically updated when you update php-residence or when a
new year is created.
Template to Check Availability - Demo
This template allows the website visitors to check the availability of the apartment types and the
periods to which they are interested in and calculate the corresponding price. If the apartments are still
available the possibility to fill up a form to request the reservation will be offered and the request will
arrive to you as an email or as a new message inside php-residence. In the second case you'll have the
ability to insert the reservation, with the data inserted by the client in the form, by pushing a button
at the side of the message. Otherwise instead of outright inserting the reservation you will be able, using
the documents of php-residence, to answer with a default email that can anyways be modified, before sending
it, to answer some eventual questions from the client.
The client, besides the period and the type of apartments, can also ask for eventual extra costs,
insert the number of people or make multiple requests. Also the fields of the reservation request form can
be customized as you can choose which ones you want to be asked and which ones are needed to send the form.
Yuo can also add your own custom fields, for example to ask for credit card data, but in this case it will
be necessary to take the adequate security measures.
Template for Instant Booking - Demo with PayPal - Demo with Credit Card
The utilization of this template is available only to the subscribers of our
hosting service or by purchasing the
add-on module. The
template is very similar to the availabity check one, but instead of the reservation
request form there is another one to immediately complete the reservation, either by paying
the deposit with an on-line payment service like PayPal, or alternatively collecting credit
card data.
After verifying the email address validity, the client will be sent to the on-line
payment service website where he will be able to securely fulfil the payment towards your
account, for example with PayPal he can make credit card payments even without being
registered. If you don't use an on-line payment service you will have to worry about
managing the credit card numbers of your clients in a secure way, for this purpose the
numbers are saved with encryption in php-residence database and they are collected only
on a secure ssl connection (already available on our
hosting service). As soon as the template will be notified that
the payment transaction has been fulfilled the reservation will be inserted in the
php-residence database and a confirmation email will be sent to the client. So there
is no need of an external operator intervention, you will be informed of the new
reservation by email and will find it immediately in the reservations list.
Template to Confirm an Already Inserted Reservation - Demo with PayPal
The utilization of this template is available only to the subscribers of our
hosting service or by purchasing the
add-on module. When a reservation has
been previously inserted in php-residence the client can complete it by paying the deposit
on-line. The deposit payment is carried out with an on-line payment service or by collecting
credit card data, as for the previous instant booking template. Besides the payment you
can also ask to fill in some client data that's eventually missing. To access the resticed
area to confirm the reservation you will have to send to the client the reservation code
found in the reservation details inside php-residence. This task is made easier by the
php-residence documents that allow you to send a predefined email in which a direct link to
the template restricted area can be inserted. Once the client has completed the payment the
paid amount will be automatically updated in php-residence.
Template to Display an Availability Calendar - Demo
This template allows you to create a page of your site with a box containing the calendar that shows
the days in which each apartments type is still available. You can possibly choose not grouping apartments
by types and showing them all separately. The calendar will automatically update availability when any
modification is carried out inside php-residence.
Template to Display the Rates Table - Demo
This template allows you to create a page of your site with the table containing selected periods
and thier respective prices of the selected rates. You can also select the extra costs to be shown below
the table. The table and the extra costs data will be automatically updated should they be modified inside
php-residence.
