2.21 Release Guide - Arrive Parking

This guide will review how to set up Arrive Parking in Aspenware Commerce.

NOTE: This enhancement is currently only available to Powdr Resorts. Refunds are only available to resorts using Payeezy as their payment gateway. Cross Sell is available to all customers.

Overview

Aspenware is excited to deliver another milestone in elevating the guest experience, specifically for POWDR resorts. Working with two third-party vendors, Arrive Parking and Hoorooh Digital Services, Aspenware now delivers real-time parking availability to Powdr customers purchasing through the Aspenware platform. This enhancement eliminates the need for guests to visit a different site after completing their purchase through any of Powdr’s ecommerce sites, giving the guest the ability to purchase everything they need in a single purchase. In addition to the integration, Aspenware has enhanced Cross Sell functionality to be more robust, providing guests with visual reminders and easy navigation to products that may not be “top of mind”, parking being an excellent example.

Feature Detail

Arrive Parking utilizes the Aspenware Commerce Cross Sell feature to offer customers the option of purchasing paid parking ahead of time for the parking lot of their choice. When the guest adds a relevant product to their shopping cart, the Arrive Paid Parking product will appear in the mini-cart.

Once the guest clicks on the Arrive Paid Parking product, they are taken to the Arrive PAid Parking screen where they can choose the date for which they would like to purchase parking. Upon date selection, a list of available lots appears with pricing for each lot. Note that a map of the mountain area is available at the top of the screen for reference.

Selecting the MORE INFO dropdown for a particular parking lot will give the guest a visual of the parking lot and the physical address.

Once the desired lot is selected, the guest clicks ADD TO CART and the paid parking product is added to their cart.

Third Party Application Tasks

This function requires synchronization with Arrive/Parkwhiz and Hoorooh. If Arrive/Parkwiz or Hoorooh is down, or cannot connect for any reason, parking cannot be sold through Aspenware Commerce.

In addition, Arrive limits the number of times their data can be accessed, which could cause some orders to fail.
