Answers are saved with each booking for seamless preparation. Start customizing your flow today via your dashboard!

Other smaller updates​

Next, visit the notifications section to customize and fine-tune the emails you send out.

Change my dashboard language

Go to your profile page and select 'Language dashboard' from the dropdown.

New text editor​

We've created a new text editor to make managing your emails simpler and more efficient.

All default notifications have been updated and translated, giving you the perfect starting point to tailor them to your needs.

Other smaller updates​

Excited to announce our new contract integration in Let's Book! Customers can now easily sign waivers or contracts and snap photos before or after their trip. We're excited to partner with WaiverForever, a modern and affordable platform that makes managing all these documents a breeze.

How it works​

Booking confirmation with link

After booking, your customer receives a booking confirmation with a waiver link. They can easily click the link to access the waiver form.

Sign the waiver or contract

Customers can sign the waiver electronically. You can configure whether only the primary renter needs to sign, or if all passengers must sign the waiver.

Check and sign on-site

As a boat rental owner, you can see in Let's Book which waivers are signed. If necessary, customers can sign the waiver at the dock before departure.

You decide when your customers should sign the contracts and waivers.

The perfect timing​

Whenever they like

Ensure a smooth start to their adventure by allowing them to sign the waiver at their convenience before departure.

On a tablet at the dock

Let them quickly and easily sign the waiver on a tablet provided by you or a staff member at the dock.

Scan a QR Code at the Dock

For their convenience, show them a unique QR code at the dock to scan and sign the waiver on their own device.

We have effectively integrated the waivers into the system. You can easily view the waiver status for each booking directly in your schedule, and you can also filter by waiver status in the bookings overview.

Convenient for daily use​

Work with resellers such as hotel concierges or tourist information points to sell trips, by booking directly into your system. Cut out back and forth phone calls to confirm bookings.

How it works​

Create a custom URL for your partners/resellers via widgets.

Share this unique URL with your partner and provide embedding instructions.

Optionally set a custom price for this partner. When setting a price, under "conditions," select "booked via partner" and then proceed with the desired settings.

Easily track bookings within your Let's Book dashboard using the unique partner identifier assigned to each URL.

Filter bookings by specific partners in the booking overview, export them to Excel for analysis, and view partner details for each booking on the booking detail level.

Collaboration with Qondor​

Let's Book now collaborates with Qondor, a French hardware and software provider, offering sleek and affordable integration solutions for boats. With a simple connection, you can now link your bookings directly to your fleet, enabling remote on/off toggling and real-time location tracking. Learn how to implement it for your day-to-day use.

Overview​

• Implemented a condition that allows you to hide/show add-ons based on trip lengths. This simplifies tasks like assigning a captain to a trip and accurately pricing it. When adding an add-on, search for the condition 'trip duration'.

Trip timelines​

By doing this you get a comprehensive overview of which boats are docked or out making waves.

Allow customers to cancel their own bookings​

Here it is: the option for customers to cancel their trip themselves. But of course, not just anyone can do it: as the rental owner, you determine which customer types are allowed to cancel (for example, only your members), and under what conditions.

Go to customer types, select the role you want to edit, and find the section called 'cancellation settings'. You can also add a specific message before cancellation.

• Split out the timeline view bookings per dock
• You can anonymize customers
• Prevent change of currency
• Prevent archival of dock with future bookings

And a huge list of bugs was fixed
