Reconstructing the Housing Reservation Guests Form
Below is an example of the Housing Reservation Guests form as implemented in Aptify 5.0 Service Pack 3 and higher:
If your organization still wants to utilize the Housing Reservations Guests record to store payment information for a hotel reservation, this appendix topic provides information on how to reconstruct the Housing Reservation Guests form to the layout to the original form template.
These instructions are for modifying the Housing Reservations Guest form included in the standard installation of Aptify.
Aptify encrypts credit card information for hotel reservations upon saving an order. However, for security reasons, Aptify does not recommend storing credit card information for hotel reservations in this manner. Using this functionality may violate credit card industry (PCI) standards. Instead, Aptify recommends having the customer provide credit card information directly to the hotel.
