Q: Will clients be able to fully reserve a property with a credit card?

A: No, they will be able to send a reservation request via an integrated form or use the one touch calling option to call your office and reserve a property. While it is technically feasible to offer this option on a mobile device, we feel at this time that it would ‘push’ people away from ‘reserving’ a property due to the extra information that would be necessary for the guest to read (complete terms and conditions) and to additional information they would need to fill out on the booking form.
