Whether you’re looking to implement some of these features, draw inspiration for your unique idea, or create something entirely new, we’re here to help.

Enriching Listing Owner Bookings Dashboard
The success of listing owners is paramount. They are not just users; they are the core drivers of your platform’s revenue through their business listings and package purchases. We understand the critical importance of equipping these key users with advanced booking dashboard features. Our extensive experience with Listeo sites has given us a profound understanding of the needs and preferences of both site owners and their clients. By focusing on what truly matters to listing owners, we ensure that the functionalities we introduce are not just new, but genuinely useful and impactful, aligning with the primary goal of elevating the overall effectiveness of your Listeo site.
Visual Enhancements
At Listeo Expert, we recognize the importance of both functionality and aesthetics in creating a modern, minimal, and clean user experience. Our approach begins with transforming the layout of the 'My Bookings' and 'Bookings' dashboards from the traditional single booking per line, which often leaves empty space on desktops and larger screens. We optimize this by introducing a multiple-bookings-per-line grid layout, effectively fitting more content into the same viewport and eliminating unnecessary gaps. This allows us to display significantly more bookings per page, increasing from the standard 5 to 20 or more, according to your specific needs.
In addition, we focus on making booking details more intuitive and easily understandable. On the owner's booking dashboard, we shift the emphasis from the listing title to the booking guest's name, which is a key identifier in most guest interactions. This change ensures that the most important detail of a booking—the guest's name and surname—is prominently displayed. Alongside, we incorporate the listing title within the booking details, helping listing owners quickly identify the relevant property.
Furthermore, we can customize the date and time format to align with the preferences of your target audience, enhancing local relevance and user familiarity. Redundant details, such as the booking location (listing owners know their listing location), can be removed to maintain a clean and minimal interface, focusing only on the essential information.
For enhanced privacy and simplicity, some clients prefer to hide the entire 'Client' section, as the client's name is now the main booking identifier. In response, we've innovatively relocated the phone contact to a new 'Phone' button, which facilitates immediate calling with a pre-attached number. Considering the reduced space per booking in our new grid layout, we've devised a way to simplify the display without sacrificing functionality. For one client, we transformed the booking status labels into a streamlined, icon-based system with easy-to-understand color codes and custom labels, like check-in status. These icons are coupled with intuitive tooltips, similar to those used elsewhere in Listeo, which explain the current status on hover for desktops and tap for mobiles.
This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the visual and functional enhancements we can bring to your bookings dashboard. Our commitment is to provide a solution that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional, tailored to your unique needs and limitations only by your imagination.
Add new Booking manually
Introducing the "New Booking" button – a game-changing feature designed to enhance the Listeo experience for listing owners. We've developed this custom solution to bridge the gap between traditional and digital reservation methods. Many customers still prefer offline booking channels, such as phone calls or direct interactions. Our clients have expressed a strong need for a feature that allows manual entry of these bookings into the Listeo system.
Our New Booking button integrates seamlessly into the Listeo dashboard, allowing owners to manually input bookings with detailed customization. This includes essential customer information, flexible time slot selection, and the ability to set custom prices for unique booking scenarios. Furthermore, the button facilitates sending secure payment links directly to customers for easy online payments, integrating with Listeo’s automated notification system.
This feature eliminates the need for external calendars or booking systems, centralizing all booking processes within Listeo and significantly simplifying day-to-day operations for business owners. It's a step towards transforming Listeo into a comprehensive end-to-end booking solution.

Check in Button
In our continuous effort to elevate Listeo as a premier booking platform, we've identified the critical need for a sophisticated check-in system - a standard feature in leading industry solutions. A robust check-in feature is fundamental in any modern booking system, applicable across various scenarios, from rental stays to beauty salon appointments and large-scale events. It's not just about confirming arrivals; it also provides critical data on whether bookings result in actual visits, categorizing them as 'Shows' or 'No Shows'. This information is invaluable for enhancing Listeo's functionalities, including user filtering and marketing strategies, ultimately boosting overall business performance.
The check-in system we can build consists of several tasks. Firstly, we need to update the bookings_calendar database table with a new boolean 'checked_in' column, acting as a marker for each booking. Additionally, we will introduce a 'Check-In' button alongside existing options like message, phone, and cancel. This allows listing owners to efficiently track and manage their Show Ups and No Shows, marking bookings that have been converted into actual visits. This addition is not just a functionality; it's a significant step towards transforming your site into a comprehensive, end-to-end booking platform, fulfilling a key requirement for all listing owners.

QR Code Scanner
As part of our comprehensive check-in system for Listeo platforms, we can also integrated a cutting-edge QR Code scanner feature. This innovative addition takes the functionality of your Listeo platform to new heights, offering a modern, efficient way for listing owners to manage visitor check-ins.
With this feature, each booking generates a unique QR code, which can be easily scanned by the listing owner. This scanning process is seamlessly integrated into the booking dashboard, providing a quick and accurate method to confirm visitor arrivals. The QR code scanner is especially useful for large-scale events, where verifying bookings swiftly and accurately is crucial.
The QR code scanner not only streamlines the check-in process but also adds a layer of security and professionalism to the transaction. It eliminates the need for manual verification, reducing the chances of errors and speeding up the process, which is particularly beneficial during peak business hours.

Building custom Features for Guest Bookings Dashboard
Elevating the ‘My Bookings’ page for guests on your Listeo site is crucial for delivering an exceptional user experience. Our approach focuses on introducing cutting-edge, innovative features designed to optimize the overall efficiency for guests, significantly boosting their satisfaction and fostering loyalty to your platform. The implementation of these unique, never-before-seen features on a Listeo site not only drives growth but also elevates your site’s reputation, positioning it as a leader in online bookings. We’re ready to build these bespoke, advanced functionalities for your platform, setting a new standard in the digital booking space.
Add to Calendar button
In the realm of booking platforms, the ability for guests to seamlessly integrate their bookings into their preferred calendars is a game-changer. It's a feature that not only sets your Listeo site apart from competitors but also marks a significant step in establishing it as a comprehensive, end-to-end booking platform. We can developed this custom feature for your site too, versatile enough to be integrated across various points within your platform.
For this particular project, we introduce a new button which will be places next to other booking buttons within the My Bookings guest dashboard. The new button will be named 'Add to Calendar', complete with recognizable icons for easy identification. Clicking this button unveils a popup that offers a selection of popular calendar apps, allowing users to choose their preference for adding their booking. This feature represents a significant undertaking, as each calendar – Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and Yahoo Calendar– comes with its unique configuration and settings. The booking information is seamlessly imported into the user's chosen calendar, complete with all relevant details, ensuring they receive timely notifications through their default calendar app.
This feature is more than just a convenience for guests; it's a valuable addition to your Listeo site. It enhances user experience and plays a crucial role in increasing the satisfaction of your listing owners – your valued clients. By offering this sophisticated feature, you not only delight your guests but also provide your clients with a compelling reason to choose and stay with your platform, reinforcing the value they receive for their investment.
QR Code Popup
As previously mentioned, we're elevating the check-in system to an advanced level with the integration of QR Codes. These QR Codes, leading to a specific check-in page, facilitate a seamless process for listing owners to check in guests upon arrival. This feature is particularly beneficial for a quick and error-free verification process.
In addition to enhancing the owner's experience, we've extended the functionality of these QR Codes to the guest's side. Within the guest's 'My Booking' page, a QR Code popup is available for each booking. This QR Code, when scanned by the listing owner using the QR code scanner system we can build, completes the check-in process effortlessly. It offers guests the convenience of displaying their booking details in a modern, digital format.
Add to Apple/Google Wallet
The addition of Apple & Google Wallet Passes to your Listeo site is a transformative step that distinctly elevates your platform's booking experience. This highly-complex to build feature isn't just about embracing modern technology; it's about offering a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of both listing owners and guests in today's fast-paced digital world.
Each digital pass, stored conveniently in a user's Apple or Google Wallet, contains all the essential details of a booking along with a QR code. This QR code is a direct link to the check-in page, enabling listing owners to effortlessly check in guests upon their arrival. This functionality is particularly crucial in streamlining the check-in process, making it quick and efficient.
Furthermore, this feature integrates seamlessly with the QR Code Scanner system we previously discussed. Listing owners can simply scan the QR code from a guest's digital wallet pass, instantly confirming their check-in. This level of integration elevates your platform to the standards of well-established and popular ticketing and booking platforms.
By implementing Apple & Google Wallet Passes, your Listeo site not only offers a top-tier user experience but also demonstrates a commitment to providing advanced, state-of-the-art services. This feature reinforces the value of your platform, justifying the subscription cost for listing owners by providing them with a professional, streamlined booking management tool. With these passes, your site stands out as a leader in the digital booking industry, offering solutions that are both innovative and aligned with the expectations of today's tech-savvy users.

We answer your most asked Questions.
How much will these features cost me?
The cost of implementing these features varies, depending on the specific functionalities you choose or if you have a new concept inspired by these features. These are not standard plugin installations; they are advanced, custom-developed features requiring detailed, manual integration into your site. While we've developed some of these features for other clients, which can streamline the process, a significant amount of tailored work is still needed for your specific site. For an accurate quote and to discuss how we can tailor these features to your vision, please contact us using the form on the right. Let's explore your needs and how we can bring them to life on your Listeo site.
Which features are the best fit for my site?
The necessity of these features depends on a few key factors. If your Listeo site heavily utilizes the booking engine and relies on bookings as its main selling point, then investing in these features to make your site a complete, end-to-end booking platform is important. However, keep in mind that these features vary in terms of importance, cost-effectiveness, and complexity, and not all of them may be suitable for your site. For example, our Apple and Google Wallet integration is a highly complex and costly development, usually reserved for Listeo sites that have already established themselves as reliable booking platforms with a significant audience. It's essential to consider which features align best with your site's specific needs and goals.
What other booking custom features can you build for me?
If your Listeo platform relies heavily on bookings and a complete end-to-end booking engine is your key selling point, then investing on custom features that further enhance booking capabilities are indeed of paramount importance.

Listeo is a robust and versatile theme that, when paired with technical expertise and creativity, offers endless possibilities for customization.

This approach is chosen to ensure that not only do these features remain functional after Listeo updates, but they also remain fully compatible with any future changes in the platform. In addition, we maintain close communication with the PureThemes team, the creators of Listeo.
