How to Set Up Booking Portal Categories in WaveRez

Booking portal categories allow you to organize your trips by activity type, making it easier for customers to browse and book on your online reservation portal. For example, you might have categories like Jet Ski Rentals, Parasailing, Tours, or Pontoon Rentals.

These categories will be reflected on your live booking portal, letting users filter and view trips by activity.
