Source OTA rates from mobile
Travis Amiel
When a guest is searching direct on mobile, the OTA rate shown on Price Check should match the rate they would find if they looked at that OTA from their mobile device.

We won't be working on this functionality this quarter but would be really interested to hear more from our community about how and why it would be helpful, so we can consider it as part of our planning in future.

Leonard Wiens thanks for adding this detail.
Do you see certain OTAs offering these fenced mobile rates more than others? Which OTA takes advantage of mobile rates the most?

Yes, I agree. In the case of our hotel, 60% of OTA reservations are from what the OTAs call a "fenced" mobile rate, so, showing a direct desktop rate on price check will drive the customer to using the mobile OTA rate (which is lower) rather than keep them booking direct.
