The Raccoon Price Checker helps you boost direct bookings by showing potential guests how your direct rates compare with leading online travel agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, and Airbnb; right on your Booking Engine.

How it works

• The Price Checker pulls live rates directly from your RoomRaccoon channel manager for the connected OTAs.

• When your direct booking rate is lower than the OTA rates, the Price Checker pop-up will appear to show guests that booking direct is the best deal.

Important: If your OTA rates are lower than your direct rate, the Price Checker will not display the comparison pop-up.

How to get the most out of it

To maximise the impact of the Price Checker:

• Keep your direct rates competitive and lower than your OTA rates.

• Ensure all connected channels (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Airbnb) are up to date in your RoomRaccoon channel manager.

Requirements

• The Price Checker is available to Premium and Enterprise RoomRaccoon subscribers only.

• It only compares rates from OTAs connected through RoomRaccoon’s channel manager.

Tip: Guests are far more likely to book direct when they see they’re getting the best price, so make sure your direct rates stay competitive!
