Let guests tell me when they are likely to arrive

[James Brown]

I want to give my guests the opportunity to tell me when they are likely to arrive. How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Hi James,
You can ask the guests to add this information to the Booking Notes field on the checkout page. For this, you can change the text of the label ‘Notes’ into ‘when they are likely to arrive’. You can do this by editing translations of the plugin. You can use a free third-party Loco Translate plugin for this.
Or you can use Checkout Fields Editor add-on to add special field(s) and collect additional information like this.

Thanks where is the ‘Checkout Page’ located. It’s not in my pages list.

OK, I had a play with Loco Translate and had no idea what I was doing. I found Notes: But changing it made no difference to the booking form. So I looked at your plug in, and it costs almost as much as the theme!

To pay $79 a year to change a field! Crazy

Hi James,
I mean, Booking Confirmation is also known as the Checkout page. Please check what language is selected in your WordPress settings (Settings > General). If it is the kind of English (United States) or English (UK), you need to go to Loco Translate > Plugins > Hotel Booking and create a new translation for the language that is selected in the main WordPress settings. Then search for ‘Notes’ and add your custom translation.
If you go to Loco Translate > Plugins > Hotel Booking, you can see the translation for the language that is selected in the main settings – you can simply edit it without adding a new translation.

OK I purchased the Checkout Fields Editor. I added a field “RV Registration No”

I need this field to show up under Customer Information when I click on a booking in the calendar. This is important as it the first thing that is checked as they arrive. How can I add this customer checkout field to the customer information panel that appears when I click on a booking in the calendar?

Many thanks

Hi James,
You need to click the Edit button on the pop-up to go to the Booking and view full information. We will keep your suggestion in mind to display the custom fields in a pop-up previewing the booking on the backend calendar.

Thank you. Is there a file I could edit, that could add this custom field to the popup. I know it’s not that important on a hotel booking, but on a campsite, it’s imperative. Thanks
