MotoPress Hotel Booking inside Ciestra
The plugin covers the property directory, seasonal prices, rates and booking rules. You can set a minimum and maximum stay and block units for a period. In addition, weekly and monthly rates discount longer stays on their own. Bookable extras can be free or paid, per guest or per night. Two-way iCal sync imports and exports bookings with platforms such as Airbnb. Guests pay online, in full or as a deposit, or at the property. PayPal, 2Checkout, Stripe, Braintree and Beanstream/Bambora work out of the box. For a single property, you switch the search form to a booking form.
