Importance of Rate Plans in Aloha for OTA Connections

It is crucial to remember that *rate plans are the foundation of all connections or mappings between Aloha and OTAs* (Booking, Expedia, Airbnb, etc.). Without a specific rate plan for an OTA, no smart rules will be applied or reflected on the connected platform.

Here are the necessary steps to create a new rate plan and, if needed, safely remove the old one.

Steps to Change a Rate Plan

1. *Create the New Rate Plan*

• First, create the new rate plan in Aloha. You can customize its pricing, policies, and smart rules as needed.

2. *Check the Mapping of the Old Plan*

• Before deleting the old rate plan in Aloha, it is essential to verify that it is *not mapped to any channel* in the channel manager.
• Go to the *Actions* menu in the existing rate plan and select *Edit*.

3. *Remove the Old Plan’s Mapping*

• Once in the *Mapping* section, locate the old rate plan and click the trash bin icon to remove it from active connections.

4. *Connect the New Rate Plan*

• Finally, associate the new rate plan with the desired channel, ensuring that all details are correctly configured and ready to be reflected on the OTAs.
