About b4spa Implementation
- Prices and Appointment Types are pulled from Visual One Spa through the b4checkin API.
- b4checkin will style the b4spa page and the confirmation emails for b4spa to match the look and feel of your website. A sample of the confirmation email appears in the next section, showing which areas of the text you can customize.
- b4checkin creates a hosted PCI account for your property, so that non hotel guests can book appointments. These credentials are used by b4checkin Professional Services during the implementation.
- If you want b4spa to display the hero image banner, you must send b4checkin the imagery you wish b4spa to display on the page. You can use as few as 2 and as many as 12 images.
All images must be 1140 pixels wide and 435 pixels high.
- You must ensure that each Service you wish to offer online has been designated as "Available on the Web". See screenshot below.
Web Server Connection for b4spa without chameleon™
For implementations of b4spa without chameleon™, the Agilysys BN webservice is not required. For such implementations, the following steps are required to prepare your web server to work with b4spa:
- Provide the public ID address of the web server where the b4checkin API will be installed to your b4checkin Account Manager. This server must have access to the V1Spa catalog.
- Place this public ID address in the DNS record for the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) you gave us. This can take 24 hours or more to take effect.
- Advise your b4checkin Account Manager when this has been done, so that b4checkin can test the connection.
- Purchase an SSL certificate from a recognized signing authority, such as your current host provider, GoDaddy, or other.
- Add the SSL to the binding on your web server.
- b4checkin can now complete the installation of the b4checkin API.
b4spa Confirmation Email
- You can customize the text in the blue shaded areas on your appointment confirmation emails. The blue shading does not appear on the actual emails.
