What it is
It’s the booking screen that sits on the website your hotel already has. It sells against your same inventory, quotes with your same pricing engine and applies your same policies. The difference from yaReserva.com isn’t technical: it’s who collects.
- It’s turned on with “Go live”, and it also keeps its own gate: domain, gateway and publishable key.
- Appearance settings — colours, phone number — live on a separate screen, so you don’t go through the requirements list every time you want to move a colour.
- The widget shows “≈ USD 118” next to the price and warns before payment that the charge arrives in your hotel’s currency.
Who collects, and what yaReserva takes
You collect. The charge is created in your direct-sales account and the commission is taken from that same charge, so what reaches you is already yours and you are never asked to pay anything for that booking.
| Plan type | Widget commission |
|---|---|
| With a fee | 12%, VAT and gateway included. |
| Free plan | 15%, VAT and gateway included. |
What it doesn’t do yet
- It only applies automatic promotions: there’s no field for typing a code.
- It needs your tax profile validated and your lodging tax rate verified in order to publish.
The widget’s gate
Beyond the hotel checklist, the widget has three requirements of its own, and it is asked to turn on rather than having its state forced: if one is missing, the widget says so before publishing, not after.
Step 1: Declare your domain
The domain of the site it will sit on. Without it, the widget doesn’t publish.
Step 2: Get the gateway ready
Your verified direct-sales account and its publishable key, which is what lets it charge in your name.
Step 3: Embed it and adjust it
Appearance lives in “Widget settings”, kept apart on purpose: that screen gets reopened a thousand times — the colour wasn’t right, the phone number changed — and shouldn’t go through the requirements list every time.
