Secretbox (API & You)

What is Secretbox?

https://www.secretbox.fr/

At a time when the French are looking to support the French economy by buying direct and without intermediaries, SecretBox.fr is a place of visibility that directs consumers to the official gift box boutiques of hoteliers, restaurateurs and players in the tourism and leisure sector.

Why is an integration with Secretbox important?

The integration allows guests of your restaurant to register gift vouchers directly during booking. Gift vouchers are checked for validity by the integration. Within Zenchef, you have the ability to immediately see which guests have booked with a gift card from Secretbox so you can easily deduct this from the bill.
