Notes about Paypal, welcome to new lodges and all about emails

Paypal

Paypal is the lowest cost online payment gateway and probably the safest for both buyers and sellers.  The way Paypal achieves the “safety” part of this equation is partly by verifying information about buyers and sellers and partly by taking precautions related to account activity.  Sometimes the safety comes at a price, when activities that are valid nevertheless get caught up in Paypal’s safety precautions.

Enhancements in your system now

  • You can now specify a maximum number of people per booking.  Look in Site config -> Booking Details for this parameter.  BTW nothing stops a person from just splitting their booking into two.  But at least they are aware of the rule.
  • The login screen is now easier to use, with a radio button that defaults to “member login”.  Administrators must choose the other option to get the “username” and “password” fields.

Newsletter 29/8/2009

Enhancements in your system now

  • Another new report, and reports page made easier.  Some reports are on-screen, while others are downloads in spreadsheet format (CSV).  These are now presented side by side on the same page instead of mixed up together.  A new on-screen report is now live which shows bookings in order of the date the booking was created, oldest first.  By selecting “TENTATIVE” status, you can see the TENTATIVE bookings that have expired and buttons allow you to cancel, edit or send an invoice email directly from the report screen.

Enhancements in your system now

  • If a member attempts to book for a season which is not yet available for public bookings, and has not yet logged in, then after they select dates and move to the next step, they are told that this period is only available for bookings by members, and a link to login is provided.  The date after which non-members can book continues to be displayed as well.

Some more improvements

These changes were foreshadowed in our previous newsletter and are already in your system, you may have noticed:

The Configuration menu includes two fields for the names of your room types.  You can change from “En-suite” and “Shared Facility” to any names that are more appropriate and these will be used throughout the site and in emails.  You can change these text values at any time during the season.
