See where your bookings come from

Learn what each booking source means and where you can see it.

Every booking has a source. It tells you how the booking was made.

WebsiteA guest booked on your own website.

OtherA booking from another source.

Where you can see the source

  • On a booking, open Details. Source is in the Booking information list.
  • In the timeline, two icons mark sources. Online booking means a guest booked online through your website or the Dineout marketplace. Hotel booking means the source is Agent or Other. See Read the booking icons.
  • On Bookings dashboard, the source chart groups them as Manual, Walk-In, Website and Dineout channels. Dineout channels includes the marketplace, agents and other sources.
  • In Bookings report and export, filter by Source (Manual, Web, App, Portal, Walk-in, Agent, Other). There the marketplace is split into Web and App, and the website is called Portal.
