Opt-in and Opt-out¶
Connectivity providers must provide the option for partners to enable or disable Request to Book on the provider interface at any time.
Using OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotif to opt out/in¶
The following is an example request snippet that demonstrates the opt-out functionality using the OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotif endpoint.
<OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotifRQ ...>
<HotelDescriptiveContents>
<HotelDescriptiveContent
HotelName="RtB Property 1001"
LanguageCode="en"
HotelDescriptiveContentNotifType="Overlay">
...
<TPA_Extensions>
<BookingModel Type="IB"/>
</TPA_Extensions>
...
</HotelDescriptiveContent>
</HotelDescriptiveContents>
</OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotifRQ>You can opt-in again by using <BookingModel Type="RTB"/> instead.
Switching between IB and RTB booking flow
You can switch a property from IB to RTB booking flow only if it was eligible for RTB at the time of creation.
