Four practical jobs in daily hotel operations.

01

On the sofa at ten in the evening

A couple discovers your hotel and books directly on your website: room, breakfast, online payment. In the morning the booking is in the calendar.

02

New website, same rooms

Your agency rebuilds the website and adds the booking widget. Rooms and prices still come from STRYK.

03

Booking parking at the same time

The guest chooses the garage space as an extra. It sits on the stay with its price; nobody has to copy it across from an email.

04

New photos for the season start

You replace the photos of the superior rooms and check the page in the preview. Guests only see them once you publish.

Common questions: Website & booking engine

What does the STRYK Website & booking engine area include?+

The Website Studio connects design and layout, the booking page, online check-in, check-in kiosk, vouchers and emails. Every public page uses the same property identity and reads the relevant room, pricing, booking, guest and payment data from the PMS.

Does the property maintain rooms and rates twice?+

No. Room categories, photos, descriptions, amenities, rate plans, prices, extras, policies, property profile and corporate design come from their central STRYK areas. The booking engine selects what is published.

Which designs are available for the booking page?+

Under Design & layout, the property uses its logo, colours and font from the central corporate design. The five genuine booking experiences are Classic Hotel, Alpine Retreat, Urban Boutique, Luxury Calm and Compact Direct. They differ in journey and presentation, not merely colour.

Can the property review the complete page before launch?+

Yes. The booking page studio shows the booking page with your own rooms, images, rates and copy on mobile and desktop. Guests can access it only after approval.

What does STRYK check before publication?+

STRYK checks the property address, rooms, photos, direct rate, pricing, availability, payment method, policies, extras and required copy. If something is missing, you immediately see what still needs attention.

Which emails are maintained in the Website Studio?+

The property edits the approved content for booking confirmation, cancellation, voucher delivery, check-in reminders and check-in confirmation. Technical links, secure access tokens and required elements remain protected, while preview and test delivery show the exact guest version before approval.

Does a published booking page remain stable?+

Yes. A Versioned live snapshot keeps page settings, design, domain, selected rooms and rates, policies, extras, payment methods and amenities together. Draft changes do not silently alter that published version.

Can the booking page be taken offline again?+

Yes. The property can pause direct sales in an orderly way and publish again later. Settings and previous versions remain available.

Which web address does the property receive?+

The property chooses a verified name under staystryk.com. STRYK normalises and checks it globally, while reserved names remain blocked. The address is deliberately maintained rather than generated automatically from the property name.

Is the booking page multilingual?+

Yes. The property activates guest languages and maintains page copy, room descriptions, amenities and templates per language. Check-in times and global property details come from central settings.

How is the voucher shop integrated?+

The property publishes voucher products in the same Website identity. Online purchases are issued only after confirmed online payment; front desk, PDF, email, digital voucher view, QR code, redemption and remaining balance then work with the same voucher.

How does STRYK protect against overbooking?+

Immediately before confirmation, STRYK checks current bookings, blocks, capacity limits and sales rules. If the last room has already been taken, no second confirmation is issued.

How is the final total calculated?+

STRYK recalculates the total immediately before confirmation from the rate, taxes, extras and valid conditions. The confirmation therefore matches the stay that was actually booked.

Which rates do guests see?+

Only active rate plans explicitly published for direct sales. Name, price, meal plan, cancellation terms and validity appear together so offers remain comparable.

Can the property sell extras?+

Yes. Breakfast, parking or other extras appear at the right booking step and are assigned directly to the stay with quantity and price. The team does not need to copy anything from an email.

How does the guest accept policies?+

Approved booking and cancellation policies appear at the right step. The guest cannot complete the booking without the required acceptance.

How do payment methods work?+

Guests only see the payment methods the hotel enables, for example payment at the hotel. Online payments run exclusively via the integrated payment service; which online payment methods appear depends on the hotel’s payment account. The payment service charges its own transaction fees. Bank transfer is not available in the online checkout.

What prevents duplicate direct bookings?+

Every checkout receives a unique protection key. A double-click, reload or repeated submission of the same process therefore does not quietly create a second stay.

What happens after a successful booking?+

Guest, stay, room product, rate, price, extras, acceptance and booking source are available in the PMS. Front desk, calendar, availability, communication and finance continue with the same confirmed process.

How do the guest portal, online check-in and kiosk connect?+

A secure booking link opens the guest context for booking details, permitted changes or cancellation requests and online check-in. The kiosk uses its own restricted workstation at arrival. Design and property identity remain consistent while permissions, time windows and completion rules are checked separately for each self-service journey.

How do the booking page and shop connect to the hotel website?+

After publication and activation of the property address, STRYK provides direct links and the approved responsive embeds for availability search, booking page and voucher shop. Allowed HTTPS origins are maintained exactly; drafts and unpublished content do not appear in the public snippet.

What does the STRYK booking engine cost?+

The booking engine is in the core price with no separate licence. Online-paid direct bookings carry variable payment-provider and card costs plus a 1.9% STRYK platform levy. Without integrated online payment, that platform levy does not apply.

How should a property test the booking engine?+

The team books several typical stays on mobile and desktop using different dates, categories, rates, extras and guest counts. It then checks the price, confirmation and the new stay in STRYK.
