Direct Booking Management Toolset
Nail your direct booking management with our exclusive tools within iGMS software.
Enter your guest’s contact details, number of booked nights and the host’s contact information to create a direct booking in iGMS. Within a few seconds, the system will create a thread to chat with the guest via the iGMS inbox. You can access the thread by clicking on the reservation in the multi-calendar, or by entering the direct booking code in the inbox search bar. All the presets for the booked property’s automated templates and triggered messaging will perform as scheduled as if it were a regular booking from one of the OTAs.
Offer yourself peace of mind with a simple feature that helps you collect a dedicated amount from each direct booking to cover the costs of potential damage. If everything is undamaged at the end of the stay, the guest will not pay anything extra. You can apply the appropriate settings to all your direct booking listings from the iGMS interface and set preferences for the collection date, the amount, and the number of days before a security deposit is released.
iGMS also allows you total flexibility. You can choose to set the damage deposit as a percentage of your booking cost, a flat rate, or both.
Upon every direct booking checkout, the system automatically schedules a new cleaning visit. Once you invite your cleaning team to iGMS, they will get notified about the auto-assigned tasks and ensure that your properties are spick and span. Take advantage of the checklists to track your cleaners’ progress and have your vacation rentals ready for the next guests on time.
Manage your guest invoicing by connecting your Stripe account to iGMS to bill your direct booking guests safely in line with your pricing policies. Upselling to your guests becomes easier with the option to edit the invoice, when necessary. An additional service, such as renting of bicycles, or a refund, will be reflected in the invoice with the manual transaction. Send the invoice via email or any other medium using a link so that you could charge your guests online, in cash, or process mixed payments.
