Most advisors face the same challenge: you send a quote, then wait for the client to reply, schedule a call, or send payment details. During that gap, several things can go wrong:

• Rates increase or availability disappears
• Clients book directly with the hotel, eliminating your commission
• Momentum fades and the booking never happens
• You're stuck playing email tag across time zones

This waiting game costs travel advisors thousands in lost commissions every year. Fora's Bookable Quote feature eliminates this friction entirely—letting clients book securely from your proposals while you earn commission, even when you're offline.

How Bookable Quote works

Bookable Quote transforms your hotel proposals into secure, self-service booking links. Here's the process:

• Create your quote. Through Fora's Portal, search for hotels and add up to 15 rate options across one or more properties. Include personalized notes explaining why each option works—whether it's the best price, flexible cancellation, exclusive perks, or your top recommendation.
• Share the link. Send the Bookable Quote via email or text. No formatting required—everything displays cleanly with hotel photos, addresses, and clear pricing. And pricing is dynamic, meaning your quote will always display the current rates, even if they’re different from the original quote.
• Client books securely. Your client verifies their identity with a one-time code, reviews all options you've curated, and completes checkout using a saved card or by adding a new one. No phone calls, no payment processing on your end.
• Booking appears in your dashboard. The reservation automatically populates in Portal. Both you and your client receive instant confirmation emails. You can track prices, manage cancellations, and handle changes using Portal's tools.

What makes Bookable Quote different?

Unlike sending static PDFs or email quotes, Bookable Quote offers two key advantages: real-time rates and complete transactions. Even if rates change after you send the initial link, the quote will update automatically with accurate pricing. If a rate becomes unavailable after you send the quote, it's clearly marked—you can simply send another option.

When you send a Bookable quote, the entire payment transaction can be processed in a secure and PCI-compliant way. Identity verification protects both you and your client. New credit cards added during checkout are automatically saved to the client's profile for future bookings, streamlining your ongoing relationship.

Bookable Quote’s business impact

• Convert more inquiries into bookings. Clear pricing, policies, and totals reduce client hesitation. When everything is transparent and professional, "let me think about it" emails turn into confirmed reservations.
• Capture business when you're unavailable. Clients can book at 11 p.m. on a Tuesday without waiting for you to wake up, respond, or process their payment. This is particularly valuable for advisors juggling client work with caregiving, other employment, or simply wanting their evenings back.
• Maintain accurate pricing automatically. If rates change between when you send the quote and when your client books, they'll see updated live rates at checkout alongside your original quote. No manual requoting necessary.
• Reinforce your brand. If you've uploaded your advisor brand to Portal, your logo appears on both the client-facing quote and confirmation email, strengthening your professional identity with every transaction.
