STAAH Max - Booking.com – Bundled Value Adds
What does it do?
This enhancement allows accommodation providers to utilize the STAAH integration to manage and incorporate value-added services into their room rates.
What is a value-add?
• Value-adds are extra services offered by the property (ex: parking, late checkout)
• Value-adds are attached to Room-Rates
• A maximum of 5 value-adds per Room-Rate
• Value-adds don't have their own price. Room-Rate price set includes the value-adds
Examples of value-adds displayed on Booking.com platform:
How to set up value-adds?

1. The collection name is only for internal use. The name is not displayed on the customer site.
2. On the Booking.com extranet, user need to do 2 steps to offer value adds. 1) Create a bundle with different value adds and give it a collection name (Similar to library concept). 2) Attach a collection to a rate/ room. However via the API, the process has been simplified. They do not need to create the bundle. They simply add a collection name and attach up to maximum 5 value-adds.
3. The collection name can be used more than once.
4. The value-adds catalogue is predetermined by Booking.com. Click on the drop down to view/ select.
5. For some value-adds, you need to indicate an amount. The specified amount is used only for display purposes on Booking.com and to show the benefit of the specific value-added service. The room rate indicated is the final price shown to the guest.
NOTE:
Currently value adds information is not included in booking received from booking.com. They however have plans to add this data in booking xml.
