They can access it in six languages: Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Portuguese. Our users work with customers from all countries, and for that reason our software is fully adapted to the most widely used languages to make the whole check-in process easier.
How do I know if my customer has done the check-in?

What forms and documents can I include in the check-in?
Our check-in and backoffice systems are integrated. After the booking, you send the customer a unique check-in link so they can provide online the data and documents needed for the activity: surf, kitesurf or diving experience, diving certificates, medical certificates, health questionnaire… And everything is automatically attached to their profile.
Can the customer also sign digitally?
Of course. When completing the whole online check-in process, your customers can read and sign the booking conditions and service rules digitally from any device, including their mobile phone. No more manual paperwork at the office.
How does BukyApp sync accommodation bookings?
Our software automatically syncs the available spots in your surfcamp and those already booked via iCal. This reduces the risk of overbooking if you sell stays through external platforms.
