Missing support pages - help with API for displaying freesale seasons

$

Hi,

We're having a problem displaying freesale seasons properly through the API. 

We want to show the 

Season Start Date   /   Season End Date   /  Price   /  Offer Price  /   Notes    /  Book now link

Instead of showing the start date of the season, and the end date of the season, it is showing an option bookable for every day within the season - so making a hugely long page. 

The details of how to set the API up should be here...

http://www.tourcms.com/support/api/mp/tour_datesprices_freesale_show.php

...but the page is broken. So, no help there. 

No reply from support@ either. 

Can anyone help here? Has anyone been able to use the API to display freesale seasons properly?


Cheers, Ralph

Taking booking/payment on open internet

Hello,

We'll be at the Adventure Travel Show in Jan 2016, and I wanted to know if we can use the generic non-secure Internet connection supplied by the organisers to log on to TourCMS, make a booking, and then take payment (via PayPal for example) safely.

My thinking was that TourCMS is run through a secure (green padlock symbol) connection and so is PayPal, so details entered when using these websites are encrypted and so secure even if the Internet connection is non-secure.

Is this correct?

Many thanks

Patrick

Tourcms - continually receiving errors

$
0

We have five staff members using Tourcms on a daily basis. Tourcms has become unreliable and buggy to the point that it is unusable and causing a lot of stress in our office. We continually get this message :

Sorry. TourCMS has experienced an error that we could not recover from.

The event has been logged and sent to an engineer for analysis.

We suggest that you login again and continue what you were doing. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Do any other members constantly get this or is it just us? Having logged the error with Tourcms support, we were told that they were doing 'maintenance' work but as it happens so often, I can't see why this would cause it to happen. 

If no one else suffers the same, I will assume it's something up with our account. 

Help!

Options to multiple pricing

Hello,

I've a tour which has different pricing for adults & children. So I select multiple pricing option in setup.

Now there is an option for private transfers, I've selected the quantity * 1 price for it.

But in booking engine when I try to book for adults & children. Option is being added twice & thereby increasing the cost of booking.

Please Help

Stripe as a payment gateway

Hello there,

There doesn't seem to be any way around this: Stripe UK beats Paypal UK hands down. Not just on price, but even things like sending the money to my bank account automatically every week (which always struck me as something that Paypal should do!)

Some features and pricing: https://stripe.com/gb/pricing

Stripe: 1.4% + 20p and going down from there.

Paypal 3.4% to a MINIMUM OF 1.9% + 20p per transaction

Is there any chance of integration in to TourCMS? At the moment it can be done through Spreedly, but Spreedly fees would wipe out the savings

Many thanks! Will

Hi Paul,

Are all fields from the TourCMS api public visible to anyone on the internet? We have for instance some fields like e.g. ["staff_note"]=> string(12345) "Text ... " that contain for internal eyes only information.

Thanks for advise in advance,

Luit

Past Date Bookings

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is a way to enter post dated bookings into the system?

We need to enter a booking for invoicing purposes back into December (so the money is accounted for in the correct month) - it was for admission tickets stand alone so doesn't affect any bus schedules etc.

We have entered the booking currently as today but need the date changed on it....  otherwise our sales reports and accounting reports are incorrect and the sale shows in the wrong year.

Is this something that can be done?

Any ideas appreciated....

Thanks,

Tori

Hi Alex,

Can these per item texts already be used? If yes, can you please add the text "Per group". And can you let me know where in the TourCMS setup to put the translations?

These units are for diplay purposes and have no additional logic associated with them
 Per person (Default)
 Per couple
 Per vehicle
 Per room

Many thanks,

Luit

Non Booking related Flags

Hi

I´d like to know if there is anyway to insert flags in the system that are not related to specific bookings?

We have a need, for instance, to check fares for a particular tour on June 1st, etc. and it would be very useful to be able to set assign a flag to this task to a memeber of the staff. 

Thanks

Hi paul,

Is there a way to make and export of all Tours to Excel. Many small issues can be easier filtered out if shown in an excel sheet. I mean small inconsistencies in e.g. Primary location, Duration description etc.

Many greetings from sunny Nijmegen,

Payment system not working

$

0

Hi Paul and Alex,

We've submitted two help requests now with no response.

Our payment system isn't working at all, clients are booking and all payments are failing because the screen to enter card details isn't appearing.

This applies to bookings made on the website and email requests for payment, and results in the following:

  • Customers making multiple bookings which then have to be cancelled
  • We have to email customers apologising for the problems and advise that we can resolve the issue by taking payment over the phone
  • Having to speak to all customers on the phone - which is tricky when they are in multiple time zones - to take their payments
  • Manually reconciling payments with bookings

This presents a poor customer service experience, and also costs us a lot of time following up the failed payments, somewhat defeating the purpose of having an online booking system.

Could you look into this ASAP and advise when it will be resolved please?

Thanks,

Euan

Save or save and close button

Hi Paul and Alex,

Is it possible to add a 'save' button in the tour/option frame within a booking?

For example:

If I want to change the information of an option. When I push the save button it close the frame automatically. But I want to change more tabs. So it would be nice if there's a second button that only saves the information without closing the frame.

Thanks!

Commission error

Hello

I am having a problem with a booking where the agent normally takes the commission from the payment they make us but in this case the guest paid directly and the agent is invoicing us for the commission.  I have tried changing the dropdown as to who's paying and unticked the box saying commission paid but the booking is still showing as commission taken.  I have done this before and it has worked. Any ideas what I can do to fix this one?

Thanks

Teen category

Hello Alex and Paul

Is it possible to add an age category of Teens - We have to report for Taxe de Sejour purposes on all adults (18+) who stay with us and currently the adult section is showing as over 12's.  Whilst this is correct for other purposes it would be great to move the teens (13-17) out of the adult category.

Thanks

Vicki
