1. Export Availabilities and LOS (Length of stay)
   For Booking.com connection, we link the Accommodation types on the type level. Units never come in picture to link, so the reservability which we send is always picked from type level. But we have 2 options to send the reservability to Booking.com:
   (a)    Type Level Reservability
   In this option, we send the reservability from type level along with the number of nights of longest duration unit available as max stay. The drawback of this is that we send the reservability from type level along with number of nights of longest duration unit available as max stay.
   
   (b)    Unit Level Reservability
   In this option, for each arrival day, we first get the longest duration unit available, and then we count the number of units available for that duration, and then that count is sent to Booking.com as reservability along with unit duration as max stay.
   

2. Export Prices(Multiple rate types)
   We have two types of Pricing 
   a) Per day pricing:
       Per Night prices are sent directly as they are configured in ‘Rates’.  Special Prices cannot be sent to Booking.com for ‘Per day’ prices as the price cache is not used for the same
   - Close room restrictions
   - Minimum Length of stay restrictions
   - Close to arrival restrictions
   - Close to Departure restrictions
   b) Length of stay pricing
       In length of stay pricing (LOS), for every Arrival Date Maximum stay Prices are sent. Firstly, the LOS Prices get uploaded on Price Cache where the final price is calculated by considering special and other factors and then from there the final Prices are sent to Booking.com. 
   Example:
   For 1st October,2022: 3 Nights Prices are configured as 350. So for 1st Oct Prices will be sent as:
   1 Night prices: 0
   2 Night Prices: 0
   3 Night prices: 350
   LOS prices take time to get reflected at Booking.com website as the prices will first get reflected on ‘Price cache’ and then those Prices are Exported to Booking.com

3. Import Reservations (Multiple rate types)
   a) Confirmation(Reservation status to Provisional)
   b) Modification: The task that we support in modification request of reservation are
   - Arrival/departure dates change
   - Guest name change
   - Credit card details change
   - Room change

In Manual linking process client’s needs to first create the location and its properties at Booking.com and make sure all the configuration is in place on reseller side and then do the linking of properties in MXTS. However, in ‘Booking.com Content API’ the client has to link properties in MXTS, and then the system will auto-create the properties on Booking.com side. User will have to make sure that all the necessary/mandatory configuration that is required for a property to get created on Booking.com is in placeFor Booking.com connection, we link the Accommodation on type level, as the units never come in picture to link, the reservability which we send is always picked from Acco-type level. However, we have 2 options to send the reservability to Booking.com:
   (a)    Type Level Reservability
