Export Availabilities Reservability is exported to Expedia either from accommodation type or unit depending upon the linking level the client chooses in Maxxton. In addition to existing reservations, it's important to consider other factors that can affect the availability of properties on Expedia:
LOCK: Users can apply a 'lock' status to an Accommodation-type or unit, effectively blocking its availability for a specified period across all Distribution Channels (DCs). During this time, the property cannot be booked, and the system communicates 'Zero' availability to resellers.
Stop-Sell: Another factor impacting availability is the 'Stop-Sell' feature. With 'Stop-Sell,' users can designate the blocking of an Accommodation-type or unit for a specific Reseller (associated with a particular DC). This action restricts bookings for that Reseller only, while availability remains unaffected for others. Detailed instructions on adding and configuring different types of 'Stop-Sell' are available under Reseller configuration → Stop-sell
Export Prices(Multiple rate types) We have two types of pricing
Per day pricing: Per day prices (nightly prices) are sent directly as they are configured in ‘Rates’. It's important to note that special prices cannot be sent to Expedia when on ‘Per day’ pricing.
Length of stay pricing: In length of stay pricing (LOS), maximum stay prices are sent for each arrival date. Initially, LOS prices get uploaded on Price Cache where the final price is calculated, considering special and other factors. Subsequently, then these final prices are exported to Expedia.
