How it all fits together


The customers shopping cart and the desktop control panel both share the same product catalog database on the web site server. When a customer makes a reservation the room is locked by the system, and new customers are only able to book the dates which remain available for that room.



The product catalog database
Your catalog information needs to be stored and also updated on a regular basis as economic decisions are made regarding your room pricing structure in order to those reflect seasonal differences. When customers make their reservations on your site that information also needs to be held until the reservation has been compleated and the shopping-cart details have been sent to PayPal for payment. Storing this information in a database is the most practical solution for any business that is serious about using eCommerce on their website.



The desktop control panel
