Authorized access.
Revalidated pricing.
Clean settlement.
Sell inventory you are explicitly authorized to sell, at rates revalidated against the hotel's source of truth, with settlement you can reconcile against. Your scope expands as your performance demonstrates trust.
Not a bed bank · Not an OTA · Not a channel manager · A governance layer
The three things opaque supply costs you.
Trusted supply is not just about more inventory — it is about inventory you can confirm, settle, and explain.
Opaque supply
Inventory comes from a patchwork of sources with murky terms. You cannot tell who authorized what, or whether the rate you quote is the rate that confirms.
Silent repricing
Rates drift between search and confirm. Your customer experience suffers — and you are the one explaining it.
Phone-call reconciliation
Settlement is opaque and slow. You cannot reconcile against a reliable source — you wait, escalate, and absorb the carry.
You request. Hotels review. They scope and approve.
01
Request access
Submit who you are, your segment, and the scope you would like. Sandbox is available before any commitment.
02
Hotel reviews
Hotels see your profile and the terms you propose. They decide whether — and how — to authorize you.
03
Hotel scopes
You receive a scoped authorization: rate plans, segments, geography, date ranges, expiry. This is the contract.
04
You are active
Quote → hold → revalidate → confirm against the inventory you were authorized for. Webhooks notify you of any scope change.
What you can access once a hotel has scoped you.
Authorized rate plans
The exact rate plans the hotel authorized for your segment and scope.
Live availability
Availability slots carry a sourceUpdatedAt. Stale inventory is blocked, not sold.
Booking lifecycle
One canonical flow: quote → hold → revalidate → confirm. Cancellations follow governance terms.
Webhook events
Lifecycle, scope changes, settlement, and incident events — signed, at-least-once delivery, replay-safe.
Your customer is never silently mis-quoted.
- 1
The partner sees a rate. Escapra revalidates against the hotel's source of truth before confirmation.
- 2
If the rate has changed, you receive 409 PRICE_CHANGED — never a silent surprise.
- 3
You re-accept (or decline) explicitly. Your customer is never silently mis-quoted.
- 4
Capability degradation on the hotel side is respected. Escapra fails closed rather than book unsafely.
Reconcile as a read. Not as a phone call.
- 1
Statements of account, settlements, and payments are atomic and idempotent.
- 2
Every booking carries its commission rule and distribution chain — lineage you can ETL against your own ledgers.
- 3
Reconciliation is a read, not a phone call.
- 4
Operational incidents on your scope are deduped, classified, and queryable via API.
Why governed access beats opaque supply.
Same booking. Different infrastructure underneath. Different consequences for your customer and your settlement.
| Axis | Governed (Escapra) | Opaque supply |
|---|---|---|
| Source of inventory | Hotel-authorized, scoped to you. | Aggregated from many sources; downstream unclear. |
| Rate at confirm | Revalidated against the hotel's source of truth. | Pushed; drift surfaces as failed bookings. |
| Settlement | Atomic, idempotent, lineage end-to-end. | Manual reconciliation; phone-call disputes. |
| Audit | Append-only; queryable per booking. | Best-effort logs; reconstructed on dispute. |
| Scope dynamics | Scope expands when hotels see performance. | Static; renegotiated only at contract refresh. |
| Your customer experience | Predictable: 409 PRICE_CHANGED before confirm, not after. | Surprise re-quotes; complaints; brand risk. |
Six authorized partner segments.
Each partner sells only what hotels have explicitly approved, under scopes hotels define. Authorization is scoped, revocable, and audit-logged.
What partners ask first
Is Escapra an OTA, bed bank, or marketplace?
No. Escapra owns no demand, resells nothing, and never quotes consumers. We are the governance layer between hotel supply and the partners hotels authorize. Bed banks aggregate and resell; marketplaces concentrate liquidity under their own terms; we do neither.
Is Escapra a channel manager?
No. A channel manager pushes inventory and rates to many channels — throughput-first. Escapra is policy-first: scoped partner authorization, live revalidation at booking time, settlement lineage, append-only audit.
Will I have less inventory than a bed bank?
You will have authorized inventory. Authorized breadth grows as your performance demonstrates trust to more hotels. Bed-bank-style breadth without rate trust is a liability for your customer experience, not an asset.
What happens if a hotel revokes me?
Revocation is immediate and audit-logged. Existing held bookings honor their terms; new quotes stop. You are notified via webhook (authorization.revoked) and via the partner portal.
Is there a connection fee for partners?
Authorization is granted by hotels — not sold by Escapra. There is no fee to apply, and there are no setup or per-quote fees. Commercial detail follows the segment page and the access conversation.
