Chapter 7 · Booking
Booking collections
A booking collection is a page on your website for one offer, such as holiday mini sessions. Mankai holds the words, the price and the session types on it, and a page builder such as Elementor Pro lays it out.
This lesson is optional. Skip it unless you use a page builder. On screen, collections are called Session groups.
Have this ready
- The Mini Session that comes with Mankai (20 minutes, $150). To make your own, see Make a session type.

Holiday Mini Sessions is published and on your list. Once a page builder such as Elementor Pro is on your site, it can show this collection as a page.
If something's not right
Where is the page on my website?
Mankai does not draw it. Your page builder shows it, so without one the View button has nothing to open. See Designing the rest of your website.
Do clients still book on my booking page?
Yes. Your booking page works with or without a collection.
