hmtoggle_arrow1Do you have a demo so I can test the system?

 

To see the general system in use, we recommend that you open a free account and let us know when you have it. We can then upgrade it to a Gold Trial (it's free). To sign up for a free account, go to: http://www.webreserv.com/signup.do

There is no contract and you can cancel anytime, but do note that there is no refund for unused time.

 

hmtoggle_arrow1How can I modify or remove automatic email responses?

 

The free version of WebReserv does not allow you to modify or remove automatic email responses.  However, if you to upgrade to the WebReserv Gold version, you do have the capability to do this function.

 

hmtoggle_arrow1Do you have a fixed monthly rate or a per ticket commission?

 

We offer two different packages: WebReserv Silver and WebReserv Gold. The main difference between the two products is the ability to use credit card for online transactions and the ability to create custom fields for the reservation forms.

hmtoggle_arrow1Do you offer bar code scanning?

 

Yes, bar codes can be added to receipts or emails, and they can be scanned as part of a check in process. Many barcode scanners are able to insert the code into an HTML page, and we can work directly with those scanners. Some scanners may need an Active-X or other components to work.
