Add a IBE Query String to bypass the shopping cart and go straight to checkout
Whilst the IBE shopping cart is useful for multi-room bookings, it is not very intuitive for single room bookings, which make up the vast majority of online bookings.
We have many cases of guests ringing up to complete their booking because they can't work out how to finish their booking. Other cases where guest just keep adding rooms to the cart thinking that it's not working, exhausting inventory with IBE pencil bookings.
Short of reverting back to the simpler IBE without cart functionality, it would be great if we could use a URL query string we could use to bypass the shopping cart. It would replace the 'Add' button with a book button and go straight to checkout.
Thanks for the consideration.

The IBE shopping cart is helpful for reserving multiple rooms, but it is not very user-friendly for booking only one hotel, which accounts for the great majority of online reservations.
We frequently receive calls from guests who are unable to conclude their reservation because they are unable to figure it out. Other instances include IBE pencil reservations depleting inventory as guests simply keep adding rooms to the cart while believing it isn't working.
It would be fantastic if we could utilize a URL query string to get around the shopping cart, as an alternative to going back to the more basic IBE without cart capability. The 'Add' button would be swapped out with a book button, and the payment process would be initiated immediately.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
