  • Improved Offer Selection Logic for Stays with Multiple Valid Offers

    The process of displaying applicable offers for a stay when multiple offers are valid is streamlined to enhance system performance and user experience. Previously, all possible combinations of offers were displayed, which resulted in performance issues as prices were calculated and bills generated for each option. Now, when multiple offers are applicable, only the combination of offers that provides the best price (i.e., the maximum number of valid offers) are shown. This ensures that guests are presented with the most relevant and cost-effective option, reducing unnecessary price comparisons and improving performance by limiting redundant price calculations. In the previous setup, six valid offers would result in 13 different combinations being generated. With the new improvement, this has been optimized to display only 3 relevant combinations, focusing on the best pricing options (as seen in the figure below).
