Deeplinks

With deeplinks you can create URLs which open Booking Engine Standalone in some pre-defined setup, for example with a specific currency or specific dates. You do this by simply adding supported parameters to the URL in the form of a URL query string. For example:

https://app.mews.com/distributor/aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee?currency=EUR&mewsRoute=rates&mewsRoom=aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee

Supported parameters

This is the list of parameters that can be added to the URL query string. Parameters can be combined, and some parameters have no effect unless they are used in combination, e.g. mewsHotel.
