Implement wallet cards in your booking engine with Paraty Tech

The thing is to reinvent oneself, to find formulas to differentiate oneself from the competition, to gain more and better guest loyalty and to increase new access routes to increase direct reservations . It is not so much about trying to invent the wheel, but about being able to find possible use cases for solutions and purchasing dynamics that are already applied and have been revealed to be effective in other sectors or segments. This is how Wallet Cards have arrived in the Paraty Tech hotel reservation engine.

Wallet Cards: what do they consist of?

You are probably already familiar, to a greater or lesser extent, with the concept of a Wallet Card . If not, it is quite simple to explain: in general terms, it could be defined as the issuance of virtual or physical cards on which an amount of money is loaded, so that the user can later make payments with it (in view of your next reservation), always according to certain previously defined conditions. From here, the possibilities are endless.

The virtual Wallet Cards of the Paraty Tech hotel reservation engine, a new functionality accessible in the Paraty Hotel Manager, have a very similar operating mechanism to the one just described, but the uses that can be given to them are as diverse as they are interesting.

Possible uses of Wallet Cards

With a wide range of configuration parameters at their disposal, the hotelier can issue as many wallet cards as they want, with very diverse conditions and objectives:

• Compensate a guest
  If a guest experiences an incident or has a bad experience during their stay, they can be compensated with a wallet card so they can enjoy a discount on their next reservation.
  
  
• Attract and/or retain guests
  Campaigns can be launched in which nominative wallet cards are given as an incentive.
  
  
• Establish agreements with companies
  Cards can be created with particular conditions for the workers of a specific company.
  
  
• Have a detail with your workers
  For example, in a chain, cards can be created so that hotel workers can enjoy discounts on stays at other establishments in the hotel chain.
  
  

How Paraty Tech Wallet Cards work

The hotelier may issue one or more cards for specific guests, or issue cards for multiple recipients. There is no limit on the issuance of wallet cards, but there is a condition of associating each of them with an individual email address . To facilitate this task, the functionality allows the upload of CSV files with the data of each recipient, and the system will automatically generate a card associated with each person included in the file.

Configuration parameters include the following options:

• Recipient email
• Promocode prefix (numbering will be generated automatically)
• Number of cards to be issued
• Expiration date of the card(s)
• Discount to be applied in euros or as a percentage
• Discount type (per day or voucher type)
• Language
• Rate(s) to which it applies

Afterwards, the hotelier will be able to consult at any time the cards issued , their specific configuration parameters, the use that has been made of them, in relation to the number of reservations, the revenue generated and the total discounts applied.
