Now that your Guest Form is ready, it's time to see how it fits into the booking flow. 

Booking Flow with Guest Form Integration The Booker visits your website or Checkfront reserve page and selects the items or products they wish to add to their booking. When ready, they fill out the booking form and pay via your Payment Provider. Upon successful payment, the Guest Details screen is displayed (see below), from which the Booker can fill out the Guest Form for each Guest or invite Guests to fill out the form themselves.

The Guest Details screen displays a list of the products/items booked and a link to add individual Guest Information to the booking.

A small arrow is to the left of each item in the Product/Item List. You can click on this arrow to reveal Guest parameter allocations. This particular booking is made up of two adults and two children. 

In the screenshot above, you can see the number of Guests on the booking is represented by the number on the right. The number on the left depicts the number of Guests that have already been added to the list.

In this case, four people are in the booking, and Guests still need to be added to the list.

How does the primary Booker add themselves as a Guest?

The primary Booker can also easily add themselves as a Guest by pressing the labelled add yourself as a guest here link. This link auto-populates the form for the Booker, making it quick and easy to get through adding Guest details.

Guests can skip filling out Guest Details when booking by selecting Continue to your receipt. There is no option to require that Guests fill out these details before they advance to the booking receipt.
