Visitors to your TikTok business profile are able to book your property via a link to your booking engine. This link will take visitors from your TikTok page straight to your NightsBridge booking engine with one tap.
By adding this link you also will be able to identify TikTok as the source of those bookings.
You'll need a TikTok business account
The ability to add a link to a TikTok profile is only available to business accounts on TikTok.
If you already have a TikTok account, you can easily switch to a business account in a minute! If you don't have an account, it's quick to create one and switch it to a business account.
Here is some guidance directly from TikTok on account creation:
Add your unique TikTok booking link as your Website
Open your profile on TikTok.
- Select 'Edit'
- Select 'Add link'
Select 'Add' for the Website option
- Type the following link into the URL field:
- https://book.nightsbridge.com/xxxxx?nbid=1038
and replace the 'xxxxx' with your NightsBridge BBID.
Example: https://book.nightsbridge.com/12345?nbid=1038
- https://book.nightsbridge.com/xxxxx?nbid=1038
- Select 'Save'.
The link will be added.
- Select the back-arrow (<) to return to your profile.
Your NightsBridge Booking Engine link, specific to TikTok, will be available for visitors of your profile to become guests at your property.
Why can’t I add a link to my TikTok bio?
Even after you're a business account, you still might run into issues adding a link to your TikTok bio. Here are a couple of frequently cited issues that may cause problems with links:
- Computer browser: Right now, only the TikTok mobile app will allow you to add clickable links to your bio. So, make sure you're on your phone and not your computer.
- Personal account: This reason is the most common. You still have a personal account instead of converting it to a business one.
- The feature is not enabled on your account: While TikTok has rolled out this feature to almost everyone at this point, some people still don't have this enabled. If that's the case for you, unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done about it yet.
Test your TikTok booking link
Once you have saved your changes, go to your profile and tap on the link. You should be redirected to your own booking form. If not, check you added your five digit NightsBridge BBID correctly.
Track your TikTok bookings
Any booking made after someone has clicked on this link in your TikTok profile will show up as 'TikTok'as that booking's 'Source' in NightsBridge.
You'll also see TikTok recorded as the booking source in all the reports where that is listed.
