Transcripts
To publish your
product, you will need to create product options.
Options are essentially different
versions of the same tour.
For example, you might offer a basic city tour
where one option could include
an optional lunch and the other one not.
They allow travellers
to pick the experience that best fits their needs.
To get your product ready for bookings,
your product must have at least one
option detailing specific prices and availability.
Now let's set up a mock option for a food tour.
Click on âCreate new optionâ
and follow the prompts to set it up.
When you create your first option,
the title will be automatically created for you.
In this step, you will simply add your option
reference code to keep track of
which option the customer has booked.
In the second step,
you can add
additional details about your activity,
such as the maximum group size,
the language of the guide,
if your activity is private or shared,
if customers will skip
the line to get in an attraction,
and whether your activity
is wheelchair accessible.
Continue from there by inputting information
about the time
and duration of your activity,
whether it lasts for a specific amount of time
or it allows customers to use their ticket
any time within a certain period.
Our food tour lasts about three hours,
so we'll select the first option
and then select three hours,
then confirm the cutoff time for bookings.
The cutoff
time is the last available time
that customers can book your tour.
The closer
it is to the start time,
the more likely you will get last minute bookings.
So, for example, if you're offering a 6 p.m.
tour, can people book it at 5 p.m.?
If yes,
you'll then select â60 Minutesâ
and click on âContinueâ to finalize the step.
We've now covered the first part
in setting up your product options.
Remember, for small differences like languages
or skip the line access,
simply add an option to an existing tour.
For big differences for example, an experience
with a completely different
itinerary it's best to create a new product.
Now go ahead and start
setting up your product options.
