Permlinks

Permlinks are used to take potential end customers directly to the BOOKING ENGINE booking section, including pre-selected room types, rates or packages. For example, a banner can contain a link behind it that already refers to a special offer, room category, etc. and thus immediately transfers the parameters to the booking section when the customer clicks on the banner. A permlink thus directly opens a subpage of the booking process, where various pre-filled values such as number of persons, arrival/departure date, selected price rate, selected room category, selected package etc. can be defined.

Examples:

Example 1:

The permlink below opens the BOOKING ENGINE for the DemoHotel with the following settings:

  • Arrival date (skd-checkin): 2022-03-01
  • Departure date (skd-checkout): 2022-03-07
  • Language (skd-language-code): German
https://WEBSITE-BASE-URL/?skd-checkin=2022-03-01&skd-checkout=2022-03-07&skd-language-code=de

Example 2:

Permlink to the detailed view of a package/offer: "MUSEUM" is used as the package code. The same GET parameters (arrival/departure date and language) are used as in example 1:

https://WEBSITE-BASE-URL/?skd-offer-package=MUSEUM&skd-checkin=2022-03-01&skd-checkout=2022-03-07&skd-language-code=de

Example 3:

Permlink to the detailed view of a room: "DZD" is used as the room code. GET parameters are used to preset the display language and currency. Arrival and departure dates are not used, as the navigation to a detailed view is independent of availability:

http://WEBSITE-BASE-URL/?skd-room-view=DZD&skd-language-code=DE&skd-currency-code=EUR

Example 4:

Permlink to the detailed view of a package: "MUSEUM" is used as the package code. However, the parameter "skd-package-view" is used here > With the help of this code, availability-independent offers can be displayed, namely information on the package as well as on the referenced room. In addition, a calendar is displayed for each bookable room with all possible occupancies of the package over the next 6 months. GET parameters are used to preset the display language and currency. Arrival and departure dates are used because the date must correspond to at least one bookable period (regardless of availability):
