A booking record in AXP represents a guest's reservation at your location. Booking records are typically synced automatically from your Property Management System (PMS) and contain all the essential stay details your team needs to provide informed, personalised service.

What Information Does a Booking Record Contain?

A booking record in AXP typically includes the following information synced from your PMS:

  • Check-In Date — The scheduled arrival date

  • Check-Out Date — The scheduled departure date

How Are Booking Records Created?

Key points about booking creation:

  • Bookings are read-only in AXP — changes must be made in your PMS

  • Sync frequency depends on your PMS integration type (real-time webhook vs. periodic sync)

  • New bookings automatically create or link to the corresponding guest profile

Common Questions

Can I edit booking details in AXP?

Booking records in AXP are synced from your PMS and are typically read-only. To modify booking details such as dates, room type, or rate, make the changes in your Property Management System. The updates will sync to AXP automatically based on your integration schedule.

Why is a booking not appearing in AXP?

If a booking is not appearing in AXP, it may be due to a sync delay with your PMS. Check that the PMS integration is active in Settings > Integrations. If the integration is active and the booking still does not appear after 15 minutes, contact your Brand Administrator or Alliants support for assistance.

How does a booking connect to a guest profile?

When a booking syncs from your PMS, AXP automatically matches it to an existing guest profile based on the guest's phone number, email address, and/or names. If no matching profile is found, AXP creates a new guest profile. This ensures every booking is linked to the correct guest, providing a unified view of their history.

Can I see past bookings for a returning guest?

Yes, you can see all past bookings for any guest by opening their guest profile and navigating to the Operations > Bookings tab, clicking at 'Upcoming' and change to 'Previous'. This displays a complete history of all reservations associated with that guest, including dates, room types, and booking statuses, helping you recognise and welcome returning guests.
