Dear WuBookers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

waiting for the Minisites that will arrive soon, here are all the improvements of Zak available from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, we are announcing a first, consistent version of the Guarantee Methods.
We’re talking about the red and green shields that you see in your Reservations plus several other improvements.
As always, we go step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated and configurable warranty method.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development of the “Guarantee Methods” has reached a first level of completion.
In summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. It will be possible to configure Zak in such a way that every booking can be
    associated with a dedicated “Guarantee Method” (hereinafter “MG”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Each MG can be configured so that Zak can send to your customers requests for
    confirmation, including a customizable number by reminders<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  3. Each MG can be configured to cancel reservations if the necessary confirmations
    have not been honored<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is clear: since every incoming booking will be correct associated with the
right Guarantee Method, Zak will take care of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The red shields will be managed completely automatically. They will turn green,
automatically. And according to your specific needs. And when they don’t turn green,
that is when customers will not provide the necessary guarantees, you can decide to
cancel automatically their reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In other words: configure the policies once, let Zak do everything else automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best solution on the market for your safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an ambitious goal. We want it to be the best answer on the market for manage
problems related, for example, to European regulations on credit cards. But we’d like
also all these automatism can lighten the “administrative” practices and even
improve the conversions of your online reception (see later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automatic association of Guarantee Methods depends on the channel of entry of a
reservation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. YouBook: here you can select manually<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Online Reception: it is possible to associate a MG depending on the refundability
    of the reservation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  3. Channel Manager: There was a great job here. Each channel provides different
    guarantees and we have made ad hoc developments.
    Examples: on Booking.com it is possible to associate a specific MG depending on
    the guarantee provided by the channel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
