Can I see real-time availability and prices from multiple hotel suppliers all at once, or do I have to check each one separately?

Yes, a hotel API can pull availability and prices from multiple suppliers in a single search, so your customer sees all the options together on one results page. The way this works is that when someone searches for a hotel on your portal, the API sends that request out to the suppliers it is connected to, collects all the results back, and displays them side by side. This saves your customer time because they do not have to visit ten different websites to compare what is available.

However, the speed and completeness of those results depend on which suppliers your API is connected to and how those suppliers work. Some suppliers have more hotels in certain regions than others, and some update their availability faster than others. If a supplier is slow to respond or does not have much stock in the area your customer is looking for, those results might not show up, or they might take a few extra seconds to appear. You should check with us about which suppliers are included in your plan and how comprehensive their coverage is for the destinations you want to sell.

One more thing to keep in mind is that the price you see in the search results might not include everything your customer will pay. Some suppliers include taxes and fees in their headline price, while others add those on later. Your customer should always review what is included before they commit to a booking. Have a look at your API documentation or ask us which suppliers are connected to your account and what their coverage looks like for your main markets.
