Use Cases and Access Rights
The particular access rights will be based upon the use case of the connection. Here is a list of configurable options that are available via the API:
RateOverwrite - Gives ability for rates to be overwritten during the booking process. If this is not enabled, the rate returned during the shop request must be including on the reservation request.
AltAvail - If the hotel(s) have alternate properties set up and the hotel searched does not have any availability, the alternate hotel(s) will return in the request if available.
AmenityRequired – When this is enabled all room amenities will be returned in the shop request.
SendTaxDetailsInAvailResponse – When enabled, taxes will appear broken down by tax type and amount for each type. When not enabled, taxes come as one lump value and no type indication is sent.
AllowAppendNoteOnly –When enabled, Guest comment cannot be overridden, only added to. If payment gateway is enabled, we should have AllowAppendNoteOnly enabled so gateway comment cannot be removed.
IncludeAllComments – Returns payment gateway comments if available.
IncludeRateLoyaltyIndicator – When enabled, if a rate plan is marked for Loyalty only, an indicator is returned in the shop response.
