Booking notifications

Back to top

GetYourGuide Market Place

You can configure custom Checkfront email notifications triggered by the Paid in GYG status for bookings made through GetYourGuide.

Checkfront email notifications allow you to collect richer information through Waivers and Guest Details.

 

Alert

To be notified by email of Customer bookings made through GetYourGuide, you must create an email notification that includes Staff recipients for the Paid in GYG status.

Learn more about Checkfront email notifications here: Introduction to email notifications.

Inventory Holds

GetYourGuide holds inventory for 60 minutes, compared to the standard 15 minutes in Checkfront for pre-bookings.

As a result, Checkfront inventory reserved through GetYourGuide is also held for 60 minutes to align with GetYourGuide. If the booking is not completed, the inventory is then released, and the Guest is informed that it is no longer available for payment.

 

Reporting on GetYourGuide bookings

Back to top

Booking Index with GetYourGuide

Bookings processed through GetYourGuide appear in the Booking Index (Reports > Booking Index) with the provider of GetYourGuide and the status of Paid in GYG.

 

Booking invoices and GetYourGuide

Back to top

GetYourGuide Booking Invoice

Booking Invoices (Reports > Booking Index > Booking)  processed through GetYourGuide also display the status of Paid in GYG. 

GetYourGuide does not convey the booking amount, so the amount paid remains $0.00, and no transaction information is available in Checkfront. Please take a look at the reports in GetYourGuide for this information.

The GYG Booking Reference is included in the booking notes at the top right of the invoice. This reference matches the Booking Reference associated with bookings in GetYourGuide.

 

Configuration

The Paid in GYG booking status cannot be disabled or set to not lock inventory while the GetYourGuide integration is enabled.

 

Note

GetYourGuide checks inventory availability daily once connected. Checkfront also updates GetYourGuide when an inventory adjustment is made.

Alert

We strongly encourage you to do your Booking Management in GetYourGuide, such as cancellations or changes to the items, number of attendees, or discounts. Edits and cancellations to bookings in Checkfront are NOT communicated to GetYourGuide.

No payments or refunds are processed if you edit or cancel bookings in Checkfront. You need to process the payments outside of Checkfront and GetYourGuide.

Also, payments and refunds in Checkfront would need to be associated with a POS Payment Type, indicating they were handled outside of Checkfront.
