Facebook: the NightsBridge BookNow Button
Yes, it’s true! NightsBridge has created a great app for Facebook that allows you to take online bookings directly from your Facebook page. As far as we know, we’re the first South African company to make this facility available.
Competitively priced as always (at R20 a month), we’d say it’s the most cost-effective Facebook booking app you’ll find anywhere.
You can add the BookNow Button to your Facebook page by following the simple instructions from our page.

It’s important to understand the difference between pages and profiles on Facebook – and to know that Facebook’s terms of service require business to have pages, and individuals to have profiles.
Create your profile first, in your own name. (Use your existing individual profile if you have one.) Then go to the facility on Facebook that allows you to create a Page.
Click here to Create Your Facebook Page
You then become the administrator of your Facebook page. This means you still log in to Facebook on your normal password to manage your friends and your personal profile, but will have access to your business page for your B&B or Guest House to edit and manage that one for clients.
Several of our clients have already installed and found it quite easy. But we’re here to help if you get stuck!
I am a tour operator, how does this work for me, how does the system know if I am booked or not? What is the payment mechanism? what is the commission charge?
Hi Julie
This feature is currently aimed at an individual guest booking directly with the property offering the accommodation. We have web solutions for you as a tour operator. We’ll email you some details.
Hi
This is great, please can you email me some more information on how this exactly works?
Hi Johan, please let us know which NightsBridge establishment you are writing from and we can get a consultant to give you a call.
I am writing on behalf of Auberge Hollandaise Guest House, and i would prefer if you could rather email me the details so I can forward to the owner. Thank you
Thank you, we will forward information on to you!
Hi! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group?
