Connect your direct booking system with external booking sources, Pitchup bookings, calendar feeds and smart accommodation workflows, so availability is easier to manage from one organised place.
Many accommodation businesses take bookings from more than one place. Your own website, Pitchup, phone enquiries, repeat guests and other booking sources can all affect the same availability. A well-planned integration workflow helps keep those bookings easier to see, manage and allocate without relying on scattered notes or disconnected systems.
Black Pastel can support Pitchup bookings using a virtual booking table approach. This allows Pitchup reservations to sit alongside direct website bookings inside a custom accommodation booking system.
For campsites, touring parks and fisheries, this can make it easier to view availability, avoid accidental clashes and manage external reservations alongside the bookings that come directly through your own website.
Not every platform works in the same way, so we separate supported workflows from account-dependent calendar feeds and API routes. That means your system can be planned properly, without overpromising what a third-party platform will allow.
Pitchup bookings can be supported through our virtual booking table approach, helping external reservations sit alongside direct website bookings inside your admin workflow.
Where a platform provides usable calendar feeds, we can review how those feeds could support blocked dates, imported reservations or wider availability planning.
API-level connections depend on the platform, client account, permissions, documentation and approval routes. We review this first before confirming what can be built.
The aim is to understand how your accommodation business already takes bookings, then build an integration workflow that supports availability, allocation and admin without creating false confidence.
We look at where bookings currently come from, including your website, Pitchup, phone bookings, returning guests and any external calendars.
We work out how each booking source should affect pitch, room, lodge or unit availability inside your wider booking system.
The integration route is built around the best available method, whether that is a virtual booking table, calendar feed, manual block or API route.
Admin tools can allow manual checks, overrides, blocked dates and internal notes, so the business still has practical control behind the scenes.
Integration is only part of the system. For campsites and touring parks, the bigger value is often the logic behind the booking: which pitch is suitable, what size the unit is, which extras are needed and whether the booking should be automatically allocated or reviewed manually.
Black Pastel can build booking workflows that consider pitch type, unit size, awnings, electric hook-up, dog-friendly areas, fishing access, seasonal rules and other site-specific details.
View Accommodation Booking SystemsWe only describe an integration as supported when there is a clear route we can build around. Pitchup can be supported through our virtual booking table approach, while other booking platforms are reviewed based on the feeds, exports, APIs or account features available to the client.
This keeps the project honest from the start and avoids promising a connection that a third-party platform may not allow, restrict or change.
A connected booking workflow can help accommodation owners manage direct website bookings, external reservations and manual admin more calmly.
External reservations and direct bookings can be reflected in one planning workflow, helping reduce accidental availability clashes.
Website bookings stay part of your own admin system, rather than being lost among third-party platform records.
Pitch allocation can consider unit size, pitch type, extras and other details that matter to your site layout.
Calendar feeds and APIs have different rules, delays and access requirements, so each route is reviewed before being promised.
Manual blocks, booking notes, pending statuses and override tools can be added where staff need extra control.
The system can be shaped around campsites, fisheries, touring parks, lodges, glamping stays, B&Bs or guest houses.
Yes. Pitchup bookings can be supported using our virtual booking table approach, allowing those reservations to sit alongside direct website bookings in the wider booking workflow.
Not without reviewing the client account and available integration route first. Where usable calendar feeds, exports or approved connectivity options are available, we can advise what is realistic and safe to build.
Not always. Some workflows use calendar feeds or virtual booking tables rather than a formal API. If an API is required, we review the platform documentation, account access and approval requirements before confirming the build.
Yes, where the integration route provides reliable booking or blocked-date information. The exact behaviour depends on the source, update method and how the booking system is configured.
It can be built to support smart allocation based on pitch type, unit size, extras and site rules. Some businesses may still prefer certain bookings to remain pending for manual review.
We can review other booking platforms, channel managers or manual processes and advise whether they can be supported through feeds, exports, admin tools, manual blocks or a custom workflow.
A thoughtful integration workflow helps direct bookings, Pitchup reservations, blocked dates and manual admin entries work together more clearly, giving you a booking system that better reflects how your accommodation business actually runs.
If you already use Pitchup, take direct bookings through your website, or need a better way to manage external reservations alongside your own availability, we can review your setup and plan the safest route forward.
