Wow, that is an amazing turn-a-round. You guys are the best! I have the funnel setup now and we should be able to track users through the entire booking process. We'll see how GA reports look tomorrow. Thanks again!!!

Hi Andrew Yes this is a slight problem because the data from Paypal takes a while to arrive back into TourCMS - and in the meantime the email has been sent. One way of handling it is to send a "we have received your booking" on the new…

Balance Due in booking email

I have been using the %balance_sale% token in confirmation emails. My understanding was that this token would return a vale of 0.00 if the person paid in full when booking. However when customers pay with PayPal the %balance_sale% token still returns the full value of the sale price. It seems that the conformation email goes out before the balance is updated? Anything I can do about this? Thanks AndrewSee More

Google Analytics - Opening link in a new window

Hi, I have followed the analytics guide and added an onclick attribute with the value _gaq.push(['_link',this.href]); return false;http://www.tourcms.com/support/setup/booking_engine/google_analytics.php However this seems to stop the "_blank" tag for the link working. I would like the booking process to open up a new window or tab, so it can just be closed at the end. Any suggestions on why this is happening…See More

Andrew replied to Alex Bainbridge's discussion 'February / March 2011 - What one change would you like to see in TourCMS?'

I would like the ability to use discount or promo codes. Ideally the codes could be linked to agents and commission tracked. Codes could give a reduced price or 2 for 1 etc.

Alex Bainbridge replied to Andrew's discussion 'Change of currency'

Hi Andrew It is possible (by us) but requires a bit of non-automated work at this end. Actually we haven't done this for anyone yet but did build the data structure to support this circumstance. Normally for companies who are new to TourCMS…
