Frequently asked questions |

 Our
company already has a website. How do we integrate our site with the
online module?
You would simply add a link to an existing page
on your website that takes the site visitor to the data driven
website. For example, assume that your existing website
address is "acmerentals.com". On this site you have a
"properties" page. You would add a link to this "properties"
page that looks like:
<a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/acmerentals/search.cfm">Search
our rentals</a> OR
<a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/acmerentals/search.cfm">View
our properties</a> OR
<a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/acmerentals/search.cfm">Rentals</a>
Can
we host our data on our own or webserver?
No. Due to specific software requirements,
the data most be hosted on our servers.
What
would the website address be for our rental properties?
The website address would have to be a subdomain
of the "RentalProRentals.com" domain. This subdomain name
would be a name of your choosing. The subdomain could match
the name of a website address that you already have. Some
examples:
| Existing website address |
Online booking module address |
| http://www.acmerentals.com |
http://www.rentalprorentals.com/acmerentals/search.cfm |
|
http://www.greatescapes.com |
http://www.rentalprorentals.com/greatescapes/search.cfm |
|
http://www.beachhomes.com |
http://www.rentalprorentals.com/beachhomes/search.cfm |
Are
people accessing our database directly when they make a reservation?
Website visitors are not accessing your Visual
Rental Pro database directly. Instead, they are accessing a
copy of your Visual Rental Pro data that you have posted to the
webserver hosting the data-driven website.
Some
of our property owners do NOT want their properties on the internet.
Is this a problem?
With Visual Rental Pro, you can flag which
properties are to be included in a data posting to the webserver and
which properties are to be excluded from the upload.
How
do we know when a reservation was made via the online module?
The online booking module sends an email to your
rental company's email address informing you that a new reservation
was added to the online database. Also, the Visual Rental Pro
user can simply run the download option within VRP to retrieve any
new online bookings in order
to see if new reservations had been added.
