Booking script and payments other than PayPal

Hi all, and first off Happy New Year to everyone.

It’s a double edged question, so here goes. I’ve been asked to integrate a booking page into an existing site I did and it needs to have the following:

9 rooms, 2 different price bands, each with at least 4 optional add-ons (welcome pack, bedding etc) and somehow to be able to apply a discount code to each room.

Also, the client is looking at someone other than PayPal to take payments, so any suggestions on this, and how to go about it all would be a great help.

Off the top of my head, I would say some sort of custom script from HotScripts(?) for starters, but not sure, hence the plea for help. Probably the first of many!

Thanks Trev

Whenever I’ve looked into this sort of thing, it seemed the best way to go was to use an existing service. The main site and the booking site end up looking the same so the traveler doesn’t know the difference.

Thanks Joe, I hear what your saying, but the site already exists, so I can’t see how it can now all look the same, and the client is fine with it going to a different looking payment page.

Thanks Trev

Have a look at ‘Nochex’ - http://www.nochex.com - based in the UK. Very good customer support.

Thanks Lee, I’ll look into this as the week goes on. How easy is anything you do with them to integrate into a site?

Have you checked out Stripe https://stripe.com/gb as your payments solution?

Really easy to integrate with Freeway via Tim’s Mals eCommerce Action suite or direct. The documentation at Stripe is comprehensive and support is very reliable. As it is with Tim naturally!

You’ll need Mels eCommerce Action but I found it easy to integrate into FW.
