How to active and synchronise Chekin.com from the Amenitiz Marketplace

The synchronization between Amenitiz and Chekin

Amenitiz, through Chekin, will let you:

• Synchronize Booking information to Chekin: Amenitiz sends the contact details to Chekin.
• Then, through Chekin you can set your police station profile and the cadency of information request collection (automated email to guests before arrival)
• Let the guest fulfill all the information through their smartphone, by taking a picture or typing their ID information.
• Chekin will send the information to the competent police station every night at 11pm.

To activate this synchronization, the first step is to go to> Marketplace from your admin area, and type "Chekin" in the search bar:

The Chekin Account creation has to be done through Amenitiz's marketplace first, not from Chekin, otherwise, both applications won't be properly synchronized.

Click on activate, you can then create your account by filling in your email, a password, and your property type. Again, it is important not to create in advance a Chekin account.

It is important to select the property type before creating the account because once the account is created, you will not be able to change it. In the event that you wish to switch property types, you would have to delete the existing account and create a new one through the Amenitiz marketplace again. The available property types you can choose from are hotel or vacation rentals. If you operate as a hotel or bed&breakfast selecting the "Hotel" option would be the right choice. On the other hand, if you manage a multi-property, the "Vacation Rental" option is more suitable.

Once you accept, you will be redirected to Chekin Page. You will see Chekin's dashboard with your property.

The status can be complete when the guests completed the online check-in and the police info.

Below, you can find:

By clicking the name of the guest, you will enter in the file related with the guest information database, where you can: modify or even delete the guest (this guest info will not appear in the register of the Police):

Returning to the previous window, below you can find the Online Check-in:

You will have also the option to see the reports and download them in the case:

In the account section on the top right side, onwers can add their own logo:

From the menu on the left side, going on the Custom Forms, you can name the form, add the country and you can customize the fields you want to be included for the online check-in.

On the below screen you can see that the system is already telling you which are the mandatory fields needed!

And have a preview by mobile of the Self check-in link sent:

As Chekin preserves the information privacy of the guests, through Amenitiz you cannot see if the guest already filed in the information, on Chekin only.
