Hi! Could we check out at 3pm tomorrow instead of 11?

Ersona · 13:58

Of course, Maya. Late checkout until 15:00 is available for Room 12 as a paid extra. Here’s a secure link to add it - I’ll confirm as soon as it’s through.

Maya R. · 14:01

Done, paid 👍

Ersona · 14:01

Confirmed - late checkout until 15:00 is booked and paid. Housekeeping has the task and the front desk knows. Enjoy the extra morning.

Both sides, and the line between

What the guest experiences, what your team works in, and where a person enters - as the product works today.

The guest
Is offered the late checkout, the transfer or the breakfast at the right moment in the conversation, pays on a hosted checkout page, and can browse and buy from your store in the guest link during the stay.
Your team
The catalogue - your services and your partners’, priced and merchandised by room type and stage of the stay - orders as they land, and the follow-up task where one is needed.
Where a person decides
Approval per product before a guest is charged, where you want it; nothing is charged outside your rules.

Questions

Something not answered here? Write to us

What kinds of upsells can Ersona offer?

Your own services - late checkout, early check-in, parking, breakfast, transfers, amenity packages - and partner services such as spa treatments or local experiences. You build the catalogue in your Guest Web Page store: prices, customisation options, which room types see what, and where in the stay it appears.

How does it know when to offer?

Conversation context + reservation. Mentions a late flight? Offer late checkout. Celebrating an anniversary? Suggest champagne. Offers follow the catalog and rules you set.

Can I control which offers are made?

Yes. You set the catalogue, prices, customisation options, availability rules and which products need your team’s approval before a guest is charged. Ersona operates within your guardrails.

What if a guest declines?

Ersona gracefully moves on. No repeated pitching. The decline is logged to avoid offering the same thing again.

Do upsells require human approval?

Optional. You can require approval for offers above a certain value or for specific products.
