Selling a pass to a guest

How to issue a pass from the guest’s profile, what to do with the pass code, and what happens if the guest loses it. Available from the Pro plan.

Issuing a pass starts from the guest’s profile — that is where the guest is, and a pass is registered to one. The daily work is therefore two clicks: guest, then template.

InfoOnly the Owner can issue a pass. The Sell a pass button is not available to Manager, Receptionist or Provider roles.
  1. Open the guest’s profile from the Guests menu.
  2. Scroll to the Passes section and click Sell a pass.
  3. Choose From a template, or build a one-off pass for this single guest.
  4. Under How is the pass being issued? pick Paid pass or Complimentary.
  5. If you also issued an invoice for it in your own system, enter it in the Document number field.
  6. If you want, switch on Send the code by email.
  7. Bokko issues the pass and shows you the pass code.

Paid or complimentary?

  • Paid pass — the guest paid for it: in cash, by card or by transfer. You collect the money; Bokko does not process it as a payment.
  • Complimentary — given free of charge. No revenue arises, and its redemption is assessed separately for tax.

The Document number field is optional: use it to record the number of the invoice you issued in your own invoicing system, so it can be matched to the pass later.

The pass code — hand it over right away

WarningThe pass code is shown only at the moment it is issued. We do not store it in readable form, so neither we nor you can show it again later. Copy it, or switch on Send the code by email while issuing — that requires the guest to have a saved email address.

The code is the guest’s proof of entitlement: whoever holds it can redeem the pass on the booking page. That is deliberate — it is what makes use within a family work, without asking for a phone number or an email address.

If the guest loses the code

Open the pass from the Passes list and press New code. Bokko issues a new code and the old one stops working immediately. The balance, past redemptions and bookings in progress are unaffected.

Voiding and correcting

  • Void — the pass can no longer be used. This cannot be undone; the record of past movements stays.
  • Balance correction — for fixing something that drifted. Bokko works against the value you saw on screen: if a redemption happened in the meantime, the correction does not overwrite it, it tells you.

Activity

The Activity section on the pass detail page lists every change: Issued, Redeemed, Reversed, Correction, Expired and Voided. The list is append-only — entries are never deleted.

InfoTwo things deliberately do not appear in Activity: issuing a new code (it does not touch the balance) and a session lost to a late cancellation (the deduction already happened earlier, at acceptance).
