Guests and Registration Cards - How to Create and Manage Registration Cards

Follow

Registration Cards allow you to have a physical record of a guest's accommodation information for non-digital storage.

While your guest's information is also stored electronically in the Reservations section of Cloudbeds PMS, registration cards are also a great way to double-check information or receive details you may not have asked for during the booking process. It also allows you to accept a signed signature from the guest.

Troubleshooting

I clicked Print Registration Card, and it downloaded a blank file

  1. It is recommended to add Cloudbeds to the list of secured websites in McAfee extension (if you use one) or other security extensions if you use any.
  2. Disable the McAfee extension in Chrome (if it is used)
