Your public booking page guides guests through a step-by-step flow to browse packages, pick dates, enter their information, and pay. Here's what they see at each step.
Step 1 -- Package Selection
Guests see a list of your active packages with:
- Package name and description.
- Available variants with pricing, duration, and guest limits.
- Meal and lodging inclusion badges.
Guests select a variant to proceed. Only variants with seasonal pricing configured for the selected date range appear.
Step 2 -- Date Selection
A calendar date picker shows available dates. Dates are blocked if:
- They fall within a blackout period.
- The lodge is at capacity for that day.
- The variant restricts check-in to specific days of the week.
Available dates appear in green. Blocked dates are grayed out. The guest selects their check-in date, and the check-out date auto-calculates based on the variant's duration.
Step 3 -- Guest Information
The guest fills in:
- Name and email (always required).
- Any built-in fields you've set to required or optional (phone, skill level, dietary notes, etc.).
- Any custom questions you've added to the join form.
Step 4 -- Room Selection
If your room assignment mode is set to Guest selects, available rooms are shown with:
- Room name, capacity, and bed configuration.
- Price per night.
- Availability for the selected dates.
In other modes (auto-assign or lodge assigns), this step is skipped.
Pro + Lodge: Room selection only appears for lodges on Pro or Lodge plans with overnight packages.
Step 5 -- Pricing Summary
A summary shows:
- Package and variant pricing.
- Day rates, gear rentals, and add-ons (if any).
- Room charges (if applicable).
- Total price and Deposit due today.
Step 6 -- Payment
If Stripe is connected, the guest proceeds to Stripe Checkout to pay the deposit securely. After payment, they see a confirmation page and receive a booking confirmation email with their booking reference and trip prep form link.
