Short term bookings using Payload CMS

Lets cover 3 proven design patterns: CRUD using List & Details view. Authentication leveraging a API hook from the humble HTML form. Bundle those together and call it SASS and assign a payment gateway, and you have your own short term legally binding property user agreement

Plek allows its guest to make Estimates for free, but in order tocreate a booking the user have an active subscription. Only customers with an active subscription can creat bookings, and have access to premium- content

😍 Estimate

After the host creates their listing anyone can get an estimate and create analytics for the host.

To create an estimate the user selects a place to stay and choose a date duration. Using the packages provided plek suggest the available package for the customer to purchase

Maintaining a Booking
Once the estimate has been purchased the user is able to see sensitive information , such as Lockbox, and WIFI details

The Dates

If a user is Authenticated and their roles is Customer, the Menu reflects an option to Top right to Add a listing navigating to post authoring

This should not be accessible to guest, but if you have customer or admin roles you are able to approve the publish these listing by adding /admin (/host) to the domain and use the provided editor

Two methods of adding a listing.
- /plek/adminPage
- /host/posts (This should be the primary method)

🐷 Payment gateway

There is no fintech company in South Africa that uses the app store as a payment model facilitating reoccurring payments due to legislation, and or the lack there of, due to the convenience debit orders have for the institution. What we fail to see is the queuing system we can leverage, and the cost of doing yourself
