What is Price Check?
Price Check is an on-site message shown on your booking engine when your direct price is the same or better than OTAs. It compares your rate against selected OTAs in real time to build trust and encourage direct bookings.
How does Google Hotel Ads (GHA) help?
Triptease now uses GHA’s structured pricing feed to display Price Check faster for supported searches. This includes itineraries with:
Up to 4 adults
No children
These types of searches cover approximately 80% of booking engine activity, allowing much faster response times for most guests.
How fast is Price Check now?
For most eligible searches, Price Check now appears in about 2 seconds.
This is a major improvement from the previous average of 5 seconds and provides a smoother experience for your guests.
Why do some Price Check messages still load more slowly?
If a guest’s search does not match GHA’s supported formats, Triptease fetches OTA rates in real time. This ensures price accuracy but adds a few extra seconds.
You may notice slower load times for:
Itineraries with children
Groups with more than 4 adults
These messages will continue to load at the original speed.
Do I need to do anything?
No action is required.
Your Price Check widget will automatically use the faster data when available.
FAQs
What if my guests mostly travel with children?
Price Check will still appear, but may take a few seconds longer.
Will this speed improvement affect other Triptease tools?
Yes, it also applies to On-site Price Match, as both use the same structured pricing feed from Google Hotel Ads. However, the same rules apply. Faster speed is only available for supported itineraries (up to 4 adults, no children). Other searches will still load at the usual speed.
