Jomres Online Booking Component

Jun — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:11:06 +0000

I have been using Jomres Online Booking Component for more than a year now with one of my client’s website, Cebu Condotel Rentals. Haven’t had any problem with the system so far, though I can say my client is not running a very complicated set-up, no on-line payments just booking.

Jomres can handle more complicated set-up though. On-line payments, taxes and other miscellaneous charges can be set-up at the administration panel.
