To learn more about implementing the Value adds functionality, see Managing value adds.
Advantages between the two approaches
The following table compares the advantages between the two approaches:
| Benefits | Using value adds directly | Using the value adds bundle | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Effort needed to implement the UI recommendation | Easy | Moderately easy | When using bundles you must create additional UI elements to collect and group value-added services as a bundle. |
| Add multiple value adds to a bundle | Yes | Yes | The API supports adding multiple value adds to a bundle when creating/updating a roomrate. |
| Support creating multiple value adds bundles | No | Yes | The API does not support this functionality out of the box. You must implement a logic where you store the bundle name and the associated value-added services selected by the partner. |
| Attach a value adds bundle across multiple roomrates | No | Yes | The API does not support this functionality out of the box. You must implement a logic where you can retrieve the value-added services based on a bundle name and update all relevant room rates with the same set of value-added services. |
