Merchant Infrastructure for Hotels

A traveler asks an agent to book the room. Everything rests on one answer.

People are starting to hand the whole hotel reservation to an agent, on the phone or on the road. The agent can only reserve and pay when the property side is current and committable. Most hotels are not yet ready for an agent to find them accurately, read their real room and rate state, and act with confidence.

Looking for the cancellation deadline, deposit terms, and loyalty eligibility.

Public pages disagree on the cancellation window and the deposit, and loyalty eligibility on that rate is not confirmable. I cannot commit or pay in advance without the property confirming the policy and the benefit.
