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.
