Before going live, there are a few important items to take care of!
1 - Configure properties to 100%
User Manual: Property Audit
Please ensure that your listings have been configured with all of the data that will show on the website, including:
Rates, Descriptions, Images, Location, Terms & Conditions, and Booking Settings
2 - Calendar is up-to-date
User Manual: Booking Audit Checklist
Please ensure that all present and future bookings have been imported or added into CiiRUS to keep the availability calendars up-to-date. If the website goes live before the calendars have been updated, a guest could cause a double booking.
Contact your Customer Success Onboarding Manager if you are not sure if your bookings have been imported.
3 - Connect to a Credit Card Processor
User Manual: Card Payments
In order to take payment on the website, a compatible merchant credit card processor must be integrated before your website goes live.
4 - Configure Domain & SSL Certificate
User Manual: What's an SSL Certificate?
If you haven't already, please contact us to go over your domain/DNS information and how to obtain your SSL certificate.
5 - Add your Locations
User Manual: Location Editor
In addition to specifying the location in the Listing Assistant, locations should also be added to the Website Location Editor. Once added, they will automatically pull onto the website and appear under the destinations/community drop-down.
6 - Configure your Featured Listings
User Manual: Featured Listings
You can showcase up to six featured listings on the website from the home page.
7 - Obtain Google Maps API Key
User Manual: Google Maps API Key
On the Listings Details page, you may notice an error over the Google Map. This is because Google requires an API Key to use the map. This can be obtained from your Google Account.
