Importing Booking Data via JSON

Moving booking systems can be difficult, one of the options available to assist with the transition process is the JSON booking import tool.

JSON is a format for data serialisation, it can help to take data from one place to another, in this case you can export data from an external booking system and import it into StayTech.

The import tool is accessible from '/admin/bookings/import'.

The JSON import tool accepts data in a specific format as shown on the import screen:

The 'import_property_id' is important, its the property the booking will be placed into. You need to set the import property ID of a property and then match this in the JSON your importing, e.g. if 'Cider Press Cottage' has an ID of '3' in your current system then you'll want to set the Import Property ID to '3' in the 'Sync' section of the property on StayTech, then in your resulting JSON export you'll want the 'import_property_id' to be 3.
