Yes, your website can compare offers for the same hotel from different connected suppliers and present the most suitable option to your customer. This can help you use more of your supplier relationships without making the customer search each source separately.
The system must first recognise that each supplier is describing the same hotel. Hotel names, room names, meal plans and location details are not always written in the same way, so some offers may need to be matched before they can be compared properly. The result also depends on the quality and completeness of the information each supplier sends through its API.
The lowest displayed rate may not always be the best choice. One supplier may include breakfast, while another may offer a better cancellation policy or payment condition. You can normally decide which details customers should see and whether certain suppliers should be preferred, but the available controls depend on your plan and the supplier connection.
Before enabling comparison, check which of your suppliers support live rates, availability, room details and booking confirmation through their API, then decide how you want similar offers to be shown.
