Capability

Hosted Booking Site

A complete booking website designed, built, hosted and maintained for you by askotter, with the booking path native to the site rather than embedded into a theme somebody else maintains.

How it works

The site is built around the booking rather than around a brochure with a booking button added. Category pages, availability, delivery zones and rates all read from the same records the operation runs on, so a rate change or a new unit shows up on the public site without anybody editing a page.

askotter designs, builds and hosts it. Copy, photography, page structure, performance and the search work are theirs to keep right, and updates through the season come to them rather than to you.

Nothing about the platform depends on taking this. The booking path still embeds into a site you already have, and an operator with a website they are happy with should keep it.

Sell a tour beside the kayak, in one order
$68
Sunset paddle4.9 (212)

Two hours with a guide. Boards and vests included.

$52
Dolphin watch4.8 (486)

Ninety minutes on the sound. Under fives go free.

$45
Trail ride4.7 (158)

Guided, twelve miles, e-bikes available on request.

Capacity, guides and guest messaging run on the same record as the rental, so a kayak for the afternoon and a guided paddle for eight arrive in one basket.

Timed capacity beside physical stock. One checkout, one confirmation, one place the guest replies to.

What it removes

Paying an agency through the season to keep a website and a booking widget talking to each other.

The number to watch is conversion from landing page to completed booking, and the hours a season costs you in site maintenance.

What it does not do

A hosted site is a paid engagement with askotter and sits outside the 4.5%. It is the one thing on this site that costs money on top, and the price depends on scope rather than on a published tier.

It is not a self-serve website builder. There is no drag and drop editor, because the point of it is that somebody else does the work.

Every capability page on this site carries a section like this one. Why that is.

What is hosted booking site in rental software?

A complete booking website designed, built, hosted and maintained for you by askotter, with the booking path native to the site rather than embedded into a theme somebody else maintains.

Bodhisys handles it as part of the platform rather than as a paid module or a partner integration. There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.

Questions

Is the hosted site included in the 4.5%?

No. The platform is 4.5% at checkout with nothing else. A hosted site is a separate paid engagement with askotter, scoped and quoted on its own.

Do we have to take a hosted site?

No. The booking path embeds into the website you already have, and most operators run it that way.

Who maintains it?

askotter. Hosting, updates, performance and search work sit with them for as long as the engagement runs.

Can we move our existing domain across?

Yes. The domain stays yours and points at the hosted site.
