Update
Price Check now loads more quickly. Loading times have been reduced by 60% to an average of
around 2 seconds
for most booking engine searches. This is a significant improvement from the previous average of 5 seconds and creates a smoother, more confident booking experience for guests.What is Price Check
Price Check is a message that appears on your booking engine when you are in parity or cheaper direct. It shows guests your best rate and compares it against selected Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) in real time, helping build trust and confidence to book direct.
When Price Check may take longer to load
Google Hotel Ads (GHA) provides fast, structured pricing data for the most common guest itineraries. Triptease uses this feed to return prices more quickly for supported searches.
GHA currently covers itineraries with up to 4 adults, and zero children. These searches represent
around 80 percent of booking engine activity
, which is why most guests will now see Price Check appear much faster.If a guest selects an itinerary that is not supported by Google Hotel Ads (for example, searches including children or more than four adults), Price Check will fetch rates directly from OTAs. These searches will load at the previous speed.
