We have quite a big update for the booking engine coming up. Our main focus was to improve the user experience on mobile. Along with a set of new features this resulted in an updated design. Which is more mobile friendly and more flexible. And yes, we are proud to say, it’s a beatify 😃
Take a look at our demo account to see the changes:

Take a look and we love to receive your feedback! We hope to release this new version for all the V2 Starfish users in about a month. This will be done Automatically, you don’t have to do anything for this. Curious about the process? Follow this ticket and we will keep you updated! https://app.camping.care/tickets/1223915710

Custom HTML header, Footer and your own CSS

For the whizz-kids, web developers and interested users among us! You can now personalize the booking experience even more! You can replace our default header, footer and css with your own. So you can match the one on your website to have a seamless user experience.

We are really looking forward for your creations! Let us know if you are need help there, we are looking for a couple examples we can highlight on our website.

Interactive Map

We had a lot of good feedback from you telling us the markers where blocking the place numbers. So we went back to the drawing board and came up with the following solution: Circles! 



You can now add a circle with the place name in it, or a transparent circle to read the names on your map itself.

Also you are also able to set the default zoom level, colors,  transparency and the size of the circles via your settings: https://app.camping.care/settings/administration/map

New GTM / GA4 analytics possibilities

Drive on data to generate more bookings! This is why we did a big update to our GA4 / GTM implementation. You can now track more events, with a lot more data! These E-Commerce events are now implemented:  purchase, begin_checkout,   add_shipping_info, add_payment_info, add_to_cart, view_item_list, select_item,view_item

Note: Update your Google Analytics code to a GA4 code. Google is stopping with the Universal Analytics! This is why Universal Analytics will be supported any longer.

Parameters

We have also added some additional parameters. Like hiding the filter or showing only the bookings funnel.
