Booking Engine widget with Fáilte Ireland grading badges

§ What it does

· I ·The full brief

Direct booking engine widget that connects to your Guestline Client Portal via the official Rezlynx API and reads live inventory, rates and restrictions in real time. The widget renders Fáilte Ireland grading badges (5-star, 4-star, 3-star, Guesthouse, Approved, Welcome Standard) next to the property name, sourced from the Fáilte grading register and refreshed monthly. Trust signals include Irish Hotels Federation membership badge, Sustainable Tourism Certificate (where held) and Discover Ireland pledge. Currency defaults to EUR with the correct 9% tourism VAT display, language defaults to English with Irish Gaeilge alternatives available for Galway and Ring of Kerry properties. Editorial layout tuned for Dublin city, Cork suburban, Galway boutique and Killarney resort archetypes. Works alongside Rezlynx and does not replace Rezlynx. Requires an active Guestline Rezlynx account with API access enabled.

· II ·Included in every plan

Real-time sync via the official Guestline Rezlynx REST API — reads and writes with a signed JWT token issued from your Guestline Client Portal.
