FAQs

Who is RootRez

Who is RootRez?

RootRez is a Park City, Utah based software company that provides white-label booking engines. Founded in 2009, the company was built on the ideology of creating technology that was by hoteliers for hoteliers. We now power the booking engine for popular brands in a variety of industries, such as Destination Marketing Organizations, world-class events, ski & summer resorts, and more. Brands choose to either license our software and create their booking engine or employ us to manage and build all aspects of their lodging platform. In other words, we're the wizard behind the curtain for many white-label booking engines. 

How does a RootRez booking engine work?

Our white-label technology seamlessly integrates with your website. Using the code of your header, we create a platform that matches the look and feel of your brand, help you build out a date picker for certain pages on your webpage, and can consult you with analytics. 

Getting Started

How do I get started building a booking engine?

Once your team has contacted our sales department, we'll work with you to integrate the lodging link and date picker onto your booking engine. We will provide consulting and any code you may need. 

Do we have to do development?

No. Our system is easy to learn and requires no development resources. Once the booking engine is built, we will consult you on how to add the booking link and date picker onto your webpage. It's as easy as copying and pasting pre-existing code.

What if I don't have development resources?

Our team will walk you through how to add the lodging link, date picker, and google analytics onto your site. 

Technology Overview

Who hosts the booking engine?

The booking engine will exist on a subdomain of your website which has an A-record to us. The RootRez team then hosts and controls the booking engine on our fully-secure servers.

What if we want to self-host the booking engine?

RootRez offers full API Integration which will allow you to self-host a booking engine on your website. This is an option for those who have a full development team. Most users choose to use a RootRez-hosted booking engine. 

Do you offer full API integration?

Yes, we do offer full API Integration to those who want to self-host and control every aspect of the user experience. The RootRez API is a REST-based web service accepting and returning JSON payloads familiar to most developers. Your organization will interact with the same API that powers our white-label booking solutions. The API is fully documented, supported, unit-tested, and ready for your developers. For more information on building out API Integration, read our guide. This is an option for those who have a full development team. Most clients choose to use a RootRez-hosted booking engine.

How do we add the date picker widget to our website?

Once your booking engine is built, our team will consult you on how to create the code for a date picker. This can be done with basic code, a third-party company, or our team as a custom addition to your plan. 

Is the booking engine PCI compliant?

Yes. Your booking engine will be hosted in our Tier 3 PCI-compliant data center.

What technologies do you connect to?

Currently, we offer a direct connection for inventory and rates using Instant Software by HomeAway (ISI Link), Sabre GDS, TravelClick/iHotelier, Inntopia, DerbySoft, SiteMinder and Expedia Affiliate Network. If your system does not connect through one of these software programs, you can also load rates, inventory/room blocks into the RootRez CRS as a manual extranet.

What languages does your software comprise of?

PHP and JavaScript
