Objetive

  • Guide the information regarding the income of the units and parking spaces, in order to provide guests with the necessary instructions on time, when required, during the "Welcome Call", when responding to requests through any of our service channels, or for formal purposes related to each unit.

  • Prevent misinformation from those attending to the guests regarding the income and parking spaces of the units through accurate records. This is of vital importance, especially when it comes to information about extra charges that may be generated for parking or for units that do not offer this service.

Any contact with the guest should include a request to confirm a valid contact number, enabling a direct conversation with the guest. This allows for a thorough and clear explanation of the importance of the registration process, along with completing other tasks essential to welcoming the guest.

When the guest requests parking

Note: Each unit can only be assigned one parking space. If the guest insists, exceptions should be reviewed with the managers.

The guest can make the parking request through any available communication channel: Chat, email, or phone call.

At this point, once the request is received, the service agent must notify the parking fee. In Washington, the parking fee is $20 USD.

Important: For reservations made through Airbnb, the parking fee is $20 USD. For other platforms, the process should be carried out in parallel with the CRM and Charge Automation, as an additional "processing fee" charge is generated, and this is the amount that should be charged to the guest.

There are two possible processes:

5.1. When the reservation is made through Airbnb.

5.2. When the reservation is made through other platforms.

Each one is handled as follows:

5.1. When the reservation is made through Airbnb, 

The parking process is handled through the platforms: CRM and Airbnb. The step-by-step process is as follows:

  • In the CRM, in the guest's reservation, a ticket is created, and the charge is generated through "Charge."

  • In the box, select "Charge Form" / "Parking."

  • The next step is that the system will request the "Transaction ID." This information is obtained from the "Request" section on the Airbnb platform.

  • To continue the process, you must enter the Airbnb platform: Host Mode / Listings, and search for the unit for which the parking request process needs to be completed.

  • When inside the Unit, the 'money' is requested from the guest, in front of the established parking fee.

  • In the evening, the comment is written about the number of nights requested by the guest for the use of the parking.

Finally, click 'Confirm and send the request.' By clicking here, the guest is sent the message with the process to complete the payment for the parking fee.

  • With the process, the data generated on the AUR platform, such as the alphanumeric code, the parking fee based on the nights, and the note, must be entered into the 'Charge automation' ticket.

Important: The payment code is located at the end of the link. This is the one that should be pasted into the CRM ticket.

The way the Airbnb platform shows whether the parking has been paid or not is through the platform, as shown in the image. Only when the payment has been confirmed in the 'Summary' can the CRM process continue."

  • Finally, in the CRM, it should be changed to 'DONE' status once the payment has been confirmed, and don't forget to add the comment in it."

  • Keep in mind that a tax is charged through Charge. Therefore, both the TK and the process must be generated simultaneously.

TK shows the actual amount to be charged with the '+ processing fee,' as shown in the image.

Check the CRM value to enter it into the Charge.
