New updates to help grow your business

We’re introducing new ways for you to drive bookings, deliver a better post-booking journey, and save yourself effort and resources at the same time. Our latest updates include:

Extra revenue opportunities

Identify properties with active commission incentives by including the “marketing_fee_incentives” field in Shopping API requests.

AI-driven comms tagging

Coming soon: We’ll soon be adding AI-powered capabilities to the Property Message Center to automatically tag essential traveler communications.

Hard Change API

Free up your agents and retain converted travelers

Our Hard Change API lets you make cost-impacting booking adjustments — like date and room changes — without having to fully cancel and rebook, saving you time and helping to retain travelers who want to adjust their booking without canceling.

Cancel Waiver Request API

Automation that simplifies the servicing process

Our Cancel Waiver Request API lets your agents automatically request that a property waives cancellation fees on individual bookings. This saves them from having to contact Expedia Group or the property manually on a case-by-case basis.
