FAQ: Why Do Travelers Show as “Booked” After Converting a Trip from Brochure Mode to Booking Mode?

Question

I converted my trip from Brochure Mode to Booking Mode, and some travelers are now showing a Booked status or even though they have not selected a package. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

Answer

This can occur after a trip is switched from Brochure Mode to Booking Mode. Travelers may temporarily display as Booked even though no package has been assigned to them yet.

To correct this, the recommended approach is to assign the appropriate package to each traveler.

This ensures that booking and payment information is calculated correctly and that travelers are charged the correct amount.

If you have a large number of travelers, you can also refresh their status using Bulk Edit:

Select the affected travelers.
Click Bulk Edit.
Change their status to Invited or Registered and save.

Alternatively, you can:

Select the affected travelers.
Click Bulk Edit.
Update the Planner Note field and leave it blank.
Save your changes.

After the traveler profiles are updated, their payment status will automatically refresh and display as Not Booked. Travelers will then be able to select the package they require and complete the booking process normally.
