Hotel Booking Engine for Your Website: Let guests book on your website at 2 a.m. while reception sleeps.
The Biodux Booking Engine puts a booking page on your hotel’s own website. Guests see live availability from Biodux PMS, choose a room type and pay a deposit through Paystack. The reservation lands in your PMS, so the front desk never retypes a web booking.

Sound familiar?
The problems we hear about most
-
Bookings that only happen in office hours
Someone in London wants to book for next month. It’s midnight at your hotel, nobody answers, and they book somewhere else.
-
Paying commission on your own regulars
Guests who already know you still book through an online travel agent because your website only has a phone number.
-
Typing web enquiries into the PMS
Every email booking is re-entered by hand, and sooner or later someone gets the dates wrong.
How Biodux Booking Engine helps
What changes when you switch on Biodux Booking Engine
-
Availability straight from the PMS
Your Biodux PMS keeps the booking engine up to date, so guests can only book rooms you actually have.
-
Deposits through Paystack
Ask for a percentage of the stay or the first night up front, paid online through your Paystack account.
-
Looks like your hotel
Your logo, colours, contact details and social links, so guests stay on a page that feels like yours.
-
Your rules
Check-in and check-out times, early check-in and late check-out, minimum and maximum stay and how far ahead guests can book.
-
Your policies
Your own terms, privacy notice and cancellation policy, shown to the guest before they pay.
-
A portal for your team
Today’s arrivals and departures, rooms booked, revenue this month, reservations, guests and a weekly or monthly room rack.
How a direct booking works
From your website to the front desk without retyping
Step 1
A guest visits your website
They click “Book now”, choose dates and see the room types that are actually free.
Step 2
They pay a deposit
A percentage of the stay or the first night, through your Paystack account.
Step 3
The booking reaches your PMS
The reservation appears in Biodux PMS, so the room is no longer for sale anywhere.
Step 4
They arrive
Reception checks them in from the reservation, with the deposit already on the bill.
What guests see
A short path from “is there a room?” to “booked”.

FAQ
Biodux Booking Engine questions
Do I need Biodux PMS to use the booking engine?
Yes. The booking engine takes its rooms and availability from Biodux PMS and sends bookings back to it. That is what stops double bookings.
Which payment gateway does it use?
Paystack. Guests pay with their card or other Paystack methods, and the money goes to your own Paystack account.
Can I ask for full payment instead of a deposit?
You set what guests pay up front: a percentage of the stay, or the first night.
Will it work on my existing website?
Yes. Your website links to your booking page, styled with your logo and colours. If you don’t have a website yet, talk to us.
Does it replace Booking.com and other OTAs?
It sits alongside them. The aim is to win more direct bookings, especially from repeat guests, so you pay less commission. Our guide on direct bookings explains the trade-offs.
