	Overview: Quick Demo (have a go now !) The Flat File Daily Holiday home booking Calendar is a quick and easy way to put an availability calendar onto your website which shows daily booking periods. After purchase, you will be sent a package which contains files and instructions on how to get your calendar up and running as quickly as possible.
The calendar is installed on your own webspace and will work for you at a one-off cost for years and years to come, showing availability and prices, and taking email booking enquiries. You can use the script as many times as you want on one domain. Just create a folder and a set of scripts for each new calendar you need.

Following purchase you will be sent a link to download the software >>

1. After Downloading your calendar software to your computer ...

You need to make a couple of changes to the main configuration file for the calendar. There are comprehensive help documents to get you through doing this. You then need to transfer the files from your computer over to your webspace. To do this you will need an FTP client program. We recommend CuteFTP or WS-FTP or Fetch (on macs)
(Approx. 50% of our clients ask us to install their calendar for them)

.

Q. How can we take Credit Card Payments online?

A. You'll be needing our PAYPAL add on script. Using this, the auto-confirmation email sent to the client will contain a PAYPAL link for payment of both deposits and full amounts . Payment buttons will also appear on the calendar more.....

A. Yes, you can hide calendar prices through the Admin Menu.

Q. I am a webmaster. Can I get a reduction on calendar sales?

A. We have a developer program where we give 20% off returning customers who register with us. Please contact us here for more info..

Q. I'm creating a site for our holiday home. I'm not happy with installing Perl scripts and I think my web space is on an NT server anyway.

A. Create an Instant Daily Calendar here and put a link to the Availcheck Calendar from your website.

Q. I'm not sure if I want daily or weekly calendars.

A. Daily Calendars show the day by day availability for each day of the year, Weekly calendars shows availability and prices for weekly periods.

Many customers are really not sure about which calendar they need, but from v.4.00 the daily calendar can be set up as a weekly calendar by setting a weekly "Changeover" day together with a minimum booking period of 7 days.
