About Rate Landing Pages

Create and distribute custom Rate Landing Pages (RLPs) to promote any negotiated or exclusive rate. Indispensable for communicating corporate rates, group rates and exclusive promotions to a specific target audience. Rate Landing Pages let you communicate any pertinent booking and stay details to a target audience, and to provide members of that audience a way to access your booking engine and their exclusive rates.

About Group Rate Landing Pages

Optional rate landing pages (RLPs) can be created for each Group Booking ID. These pages can be used to present group specific information to create a customized booking experience.

1. The Booking ID associated with the Group Rate Landing Page must first be built in the b4checkin Admin Site. See Agilysys Visual One Groups & chameleon™ for more information.
   
   
2. The chameleon™ User Experience (UX) design you have applied to your booking engine dictates which group rate landing page layout is available.
   
   
3. Custom banner images can be uploaded for each landing page you create. Size requirements for these images are different for each UX: 
   
   
   1. User Experience 1 Banner Image Sizes: 3000px x 600px (display: 1500px x 300px)
      
   2. User Experience 2 Banner Image Sizes: 2720px x 600px (display: 1360px x 300px)
