DATA-DRIVEN PLATFORM · TRIPTEASE PRICE MATCH

Stop losing direct bookings
to OTA undercuts

Automatic price matching on metasearch and your booking engine. You pick the OTAs, you set the discount limits, Triptease does the rest.

THE CHALLENGE

Manual fixes can’t beat OTAs
at their own game

Going in circles trying to fix OTA undercuts? You monitor rates, chase OTA account managers, and shut down wholesale leakage. But the undercuts keep coming, and the booking’s usually gone before you can act.

The damage is done before you can react

OTAs change prices constantly. By the time you spot an undercut and chase it down, the guest has already seen the cheaper rate and booked elsewhere.

Too many undercuts, not enough hours

Most undercuts are small and constant. Chasing each one manually eats the time your team should spend on bigger parity problems.

Blanket discounts cost more than they win

Discounting everywhere to stay competitive protects bookings but erodes RevPAR. You give away margin on guests who would have booked direct anyway.

HOW IT WORKS

How Price Match works
across your funnel

Metasearch add-on

Win the click on metasearch

Hotels are undercut over 50% of the time on metasearch, and most undercuts are small. Triptease applies the smallest discount needed to win, up to the maximum you set, so your best price shows right in the metasearch results while the guest is still deciding where to book.

Website personalization add-on

Win the booking on your website

When a guest is about to book but an OTA you’ve selected is cheaper, Triptease shows them the matched rate on the spot. One click and the page refreshes with your price applied, so they book with you instead of leaving for the OTA.

The Triptease Data Marketing Platform

Connected to the Triptease platform (and built-in safeguards)

Price Match is part of the Triptease Data Marketing Platform, connected to the same data behind your parity insights. Use parity insights to see which OTAs are undercutting you most, and by how much. Then set Price Match to act on it: choose which OTAs to match, set your maximum discount, and Triptease applies the smallest adjustment needed to win, automatically. For bigger parity issues, use the same data to raise them with your OTA account managers

Price Match is available as an add-on for Metasearch and Messages.

FAQS

Price Match questions, answered

What is hotel price match?

Hotel price match automatically detects when an OTA is selling your rooms cheaper than your direct rate and applies a targeted discount to make your direct channel competitive — without blanket discounting.

How does Triptease Price Match work?

Triptease monitors OTA rates in real time. When an undercut falls within your set limits and a valid promo code can beat the targeted OTA rate, Triptease applies the smallest available promo code that wins.

On Google Hotel Ads (Meta Price Match), the discounted direct price appears in the auction before the guest clicks, and the promo code is passed through to the booking engine.

On your website (On-site Price Match), the guest sees the undercut via Price Check and must click the Price Match CTA to apply the promo code.

Which OTAs does Triptease Price Match against?

You choose which OTAs to match.

Meta Price Match operates in Google Hotel Ads only.

On-site Price Match can match against OTAs Triptease monitors via real-time scraping (within product guardrails and configuration).

Does Price Match work on Google Hotel Ads?

Yes. Meta Price Match applies a promo code automatically so the discounted direct price appears in the Google Hotel Ads auction before the guest clicks through. The promo code is also passed through to the booking engine so the discounted rate is honored on arrival.

Does Price Match work on my booking engine?

Yes. On-site Price Match works on your hotel website and booking engine.

When Triptease detects an OTA undercut, the Price Check message shows the OTA rates and the guest can click the Price Match CTA to book at a matched direct price. The promo code is embedded in the deeplink so the guest does not need to enter it manually.

How is RevPAR protected?

Triptease uses minimum-discount logic. You set your maximum discount, and Triptease applies the smallest available promo code that beats the targeted OTA rate — rather than defaulting to your maximum discount.

Do I need to configure my booking engine?

Yes. Price Match requires promo code configuration in your booking engine.

Triptease provides guidance, feasibility checks, and onboarding support for supported systems as part of setup.

Can I control which OTAs are matched and how much I discount?

Yes. You choose which OTAs to match and set your maximum discount cap. Triptease applies only the minimum required to win within those limits.

Is Price Match standalone or part of a wider platform?

Price Match is part of the Triptease platform, with two products that can run separately or together:

Meta Price Match requires Triptease Metasearch (Google Hotel Ads).

On-site Price Match requires DMP + Messages, and runs through the Price Check message on the hotel website and booking engine.

A hotel using both can run them together, with suppression logic to prevent guests receiving a double discount.

What results can hotels expect?

One King West saw a 97% increase in ROAS and a 25% reduction in undercut rates using Triptease Price Match on metasearch.
