The Payments Onboarding Solution will streamline and centralize the onboarding process. Ensure your properties are set up for early success with reduced operational friction, less manual support and eliminates the dependency of the Extranet.

• Payments Fee & Status: Overview of fees and onboarding status.
• Payout Method & Timing: Choice of VCC/BT and payout frequency.
• Bulk Eligibility: Check status for lists of properties in one go.

The new version of OTA_HotelProductNotif will go live as part of our API Modernisation efforts. This endpoint builds on room and rate management capabilities, enabling hotel properties to create and manage room rates seamlessly.

• Automates room and rate plan management
• Reduces manual work and potential errors
• Speeds up property onboarding and inventory updates

The Payments Bank Transfer Reconciliation API provides you and your properties with access to reservation-level payout details, ensuring consistency with the Group Reconciliation view in the Extranet. This includes automating report generation which can be used to streamline the bank transfer reconciliation process for amounts disbursed and fees deducted.

• Clear overview of all Bank Transfer payouts
• Simplifies reconciliation across properties
• Prepares accommodation partners for faster payout options

The Payments Details API provides a single source of truth for all reservation payments, giving partners real-time visibility into payouts, payment methods, and payment status.

• The Payments Details API will be expanded to support all reservation types, including Agency reservations and those outside the Payments by Booking flow. This helps you move away from using the Payments Clarity Package (PCP) and give you and your properties a complete, clear overview of all reservations and payout information including any taxes that are withheld.

The Licences API enables you to determine whether your property must meet regional licence requirements at the property or room level. It allows you and your properties to remain compliant and open for booking on Booking.com by enabling the instant retrieval of licence requirements for a property, along with periodic updates.

• We are simplifying the Licences API response by removing the Rule ID, Rule Name, and Variant Name fields. These fields contained redundant information that is not necessary to understand licence requirements. By removing them, the API response will be simpler and easier to work with, while still providing all the information you need to manage licence compliance for your properties.

The Property Description endpoint is a new, modular addition to the Property API. It’s designed to be simple: properties send a free-text description along with a language code, and we extract the key claims to automatically generate high-quality, AI-written descriptions and traveller-facing answers.

• Low effort maintenance: You only send one free text description + a language code. No need to structure, format, or write for the website.
• Higher quality content: We extract the strongest, most unique claims from what you write and turn them into clear, consistent AI descriptions that help travellers understand why to book your place.
• Always up to date & multilingual: As your data changes in Booking.com systems, descriptions refresh automatically and are available in many languages without extra work from you.

Request to Book is a booking model that gives eligible partners full control over the reservation process. Unlike Instant Booking, where guests can book a property immediately, Request to Book requires guests to send a booking request, which the partner can then accept or decline. With the Request to Book API, you can enable eligible properties to operate under this model on Booking.com.

• The Request-to-Book flow has been upgraded - reservations are confirmed as soon as the host approves the request.
• Payment is pre-authorized via credit card, and both price and availability are locked, eliminating the need for an additional approval step by the guest.

Promotions API enables your connected properties to create, update, and analyze promotions directly through your connectivity platform. The updated version provides endpoints to create, configure, and manage the New Property Deal (NPD) for eligible properties via API, allowing you to integrate promotion management seamlessly into their systems. By exposing this functionality in your UI, especially during onboarding flows, you can make it easy for partners to activate promotional campaigns without leaving your platform.

• Faster property ramp-up: New properties can activate a high-impact deal in just a few clicks within the providers system.
• Increase visibility and bookings: Promotional deals help new listings attract guests sooner.

Net Rates offers commission-free rates for packages, B2B, and closed user groups, helping properties unlock more revenue by reaching new traveller segments. With Net Rates, your properties can use your systems as a centralized platform to activate and manage business models at scale, without duplicating setup across multiple systems.

• Help drive revenue growth for your properties through new distribution channels and traveller segments.
• You and your properties benefit from a simple and streamlined setup.
• Protect public pricing while securing incremental revenue from closed channels.

The Messaging API is transitioning from polling the Get New Messages endpoint to real-time push notifications via Connectivity Notification Services.

• Push-based updates lower your technical and operational overhead for properties, aligning with the European Digital Markets Act intent to reduce friction and ensure fair, non-discriminatory conditions.
• Better experience for both you and your properties with simplified message handling and reduced messaging latency
• Properties receive instant updates on reservations, payments and post-book messages instantly, without wait time or refreshing their providers platform

The Property Health API gives you visibility into your properties’ status and performance, helping you understand different aspects needed for your property to be open-bookable.

• Proactively increase bookings by spotting issues early and guiding properties to resolve blockers before they impact availability.
• Provides you access to health signals per property: status, content gaps, performance flags, and key issues
• Has data for dashboards, alerts, and workflows in your systems

Many properties have untapped potential: from availability gaps, no bookings or incomplete content, these limit their performance on our platform. We have built targeted campaign initiatives to help you unlock that potential.

• Availability: Promote consistent availability to boost performance. Registration period: 23 Mar to 1 Oct. Campaign period: 23 Mar to 10 Oct
• Zero Bookings: Reduce properties with no booking. Registration period: 23 Mar to 1 Oct. Campaign period: 23 Mar to 10 Nov
