It has been a busy start to the year for the BookIt development team and we've just released our new 'daily inclusions' feature.
What is daily inclusion data you may ask?
It is a short summary of what your guests will enjoy with the room/product they book. Inclusion data should describe what the customer is paying for, eg "includes buffet breakfast for two and free wi-fi internet", rather than a full room description. This information will also appear on the Travelbug confirmation page and the traveller and operator confirmation emails.
Here's how it looks on Travelbug:
How to load inclusions data
If you are a customer of Siteminder, Seekom or STAAH you just need to ensure you have loaded inclusion data at that end and BookIt will do the rest. Take a look at your listing on Travelbug to see how it looks.
If you are not using one of the channel managers above you will need to load and manage the inclusions directly in your BookIt account.
- Login to BookIt
- Click on the 'Inventory Manager' tab
- Click on the 'Manage inclusions' link
- Enter your default inclusions for each product. Where a rate includes just the room, enter "Room only"
- Click 'Save' when you are finished
If you need to enter separate inclusions for individual dates, click on 'Override inclusions' - again don't forget to click 'Save' when you are finished.
Both the BookIt booking confirmation email and booking details pages will include the relevant inclusions data for the booking, so you and your team know what the guest has paid for and is expecting.

If you have any questions at all, please contact us any day of the week between 9am and 5pm on 0508 BOOKIT or support@bookit.co.nz
Happy inclusion-ing!
