How-to: Copy a traveler to another trip - for easy booking of repeat customers - or Transfer to a new Trip to avoid refunding

When people change their mind and want to rebook on another trip or you had to cancel the trip, don't refund them, just TRANSFER them! You create incredible experiences that make customers want to return for more trips. Save the annoyance of having to re-enter their profile information each time using the COPY Repeat Traveler feature.

 

Transfer or Copy a Traveler from their TripBoard to another Trip

Look for this icon on your Traveler TripBoard:

transfer-icon-for-release-notes

Click to open the popup:

release 200 with border

There are two options in the popup:

  • Transfer - move their payments and close the booking on the current Trip

  • Copy a Repeat Traveler - just copy their profile for easy re-booking, leave current booking intact

 

What does it mean to "Transfer" or "Copy" a Traveler?

The following sections of a Traveler's TripBoard is affected depending on if you Transfer or Copy them:

  • Payments
  • Invoice Line Items
  • PDF Confirmations
  • Documents & Links
  • Optional Itinerary & Add-on Responses
  • Task Responses (Responses & Submitted Files)

Action/Impact Transfer Copy
What happens to the Traveler

The Traveler is now transferred from the old/from trip to the new/to trip.

A copy will remain on the old/from trip with 'Transferred' status:

When a Traveler is in the Transferred state:

  • They will see a message directing them to the new trip if they use their old magic link
  • They will NOT receive reminders from the old trip
    • Their status on the new trip determines if they get reminders on the new trip (if Registered or Booked)
  • Planners cannot use the VIEW AS or get Magic Link feature for those Travelers

The Traveler is now copied from the old/from trip to the new/to trip.

This Traveler exists in both the old/from and new/to trip. 

The Traveler doesn't have to re-fill out the same Tasks/Forms, emails, questionnaires etc. if the questions and fields between the old and new trip are the same.
