Integration
1 Integration with your web site
For integration with your web site, either the Instant-Quote.co calendar or an
Instant-Quote.co link button needs to be installed on your web site.
Either of these items are acceptable and provide a method of redirecting the
user to the quotations page configured for your business.
Code is provided for both of these methods and can be found in the adminstration
page under:
configuration/calendar code.
If you need assistance in installing the calendar this service can be provided
at a modest cost.
2 Google Calendar
The system can write all of your bookings to your Goolge Calendar so it appears
on your mobile devices and other computers.
You need to authorise us to have access to your calendar and an interface is
provided for this purpose in the administration pages under configuration/google
calendar. We receive a token from Google and are not aware of your username or
password.
On Android devices, clicking the event in the calendar and selecting location
will launch Google Maps Navigation making it easy to find your first pick up.
Events are added to the Calendar with the time you need to leave the garage and
the time of the first journey of the booking. The total time of the booking is
blocked out.
3 Credit / Debit card payments
The system can take payments and assign them to a booking.
To process card payments you need to have a Stripe account. The keys for your
account as provided by Stripe need to be entered in your configuration pages and
tested.
Please see the seperate Card Processing Documentation.
4 Use your ISP's email server
The system can send your emails through your Inernet service provider's email server. In fact to protect the Spam reptation of the service, this is required for some features.
The advantage of using your service provider's mail server is that any email
that is incorrectly addressed by the customer is returned to so you can contact
the customer by phone and re-send the email as required.
