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.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. From the WaveRez Dashboard, go to:
   Settings > System Setup > Configurations > Booking Portal Settings

2. Enable the Categories Feature
   Check the box labeled “Use Categories Feature” to activate trip categorization.

3. Add or Edit Categories
   Click "ADD A TRIP CATEGORY" to create a category that is specific to your company.

4. Enter a Category Name
   Give your category a clear and descriptive name such as “Tours”, “Dolphin Cruises”, or “Jet Ski Rentals”.

5. Assign Trips to Categories
   Use the dropdown or checkbox list to assign existing trips to your new category.
   
6. Add a Category Image
   Click “Browse” to upload an image. This will appear on your public booking portal.

7. Save Changes
   After configuring everything, scroll down and click “Save” to apply your changes.
