Cypress Launches New Booking Pages

Cypress has recently redesigned and optimized all of the pages involved in the tee time booking process. From Search, to Create Account to Confirmation, every page can now be controlled via custom Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). These changes will allow Cypress distribution partners and golf courses to better customize the booking pages to match the look and feel of their individual websites. “It was a request from our partners and golf courses to add the enhanced stylization to the booking pages.” Said Matt Arnzen, Director of Internet Marketing, “We are excited for our partners to put the new capabilities to use; not only will it benefit our partners and courses, it will enhance the booking experience for all of our golfing customers.” For partners and courses that require more customization, the Cypress Application Programming Interface (API) is available. This allows partners to access the Cypress platform directly, integrating at the application level, allowing complete control and customization of the booking process. If you are interested in learning more about the Cypress Partner Program or the recent changes to the booking engine please contact Brian Zimmer, Director of Partner Services.

What is CSS? Cascading Style Sheets are used by web pages to define colors, fonts, layout, and other aspects of page presentation. It is designed primarily to enable the separation of page content (usually written in HTML) from page presentation (written in CSS). This separation provides more flexibility and control in the presentation of web pages, and reduces complexity and repetition in the structural content. CSS allows the same page content to be presented in different styles on different websites. What is an API? An Application Programming Interface (API) is the interface that a computer system, library or application provides in order to allow requests for services to be made of it by other computer programs, and/or to allow data to be exchanged between them. One of the primary purposes of an API is to describe how software developers may access a set of functions without requiring access to the source code of the functions, or requiring a detailed understanding of the functions’ internal workings.
