IRIX Booking Engine Updates - New features you need to know!

We're focused on continuously improving your experience by developing features that make your operations more seamless and efficient. Over the past few months, we've introduced several updates designed to simplify your daily processes and optimize your selling process when using IRIX.

From Virtual Credit Card payments for TravelgateX to Cancellation Deadline visibility in API search results, our goal is to deliver valuable features every month — helping you work smarter and improve operational efficiency.

Scroll down to explore what's new and how these features can help you get the most out of your booking engine! 🚀

 

Simplified payments with virtual credit card for TravelgateX

We are introducing a new payment method that helps you streamline the payment processes for TravelgateX reservations.

This new option is available based on your business needs and agreement with TravelgateX, giving you more flexibility and control on how you manage supplier payments for this content source.

This feature enables virtual credit card creation at the time of reservation, with TravelgateX generating cards for the exact net amount payable by the client to the supplier.

Cancellation deadline now available in API search results

We are making it easier to get cancellation policy details at a glance! IRIX displays the start date and amount directly in the API search response, whenever this information is provided by the supplier.

Currently, this feature is available for AIDA, Expedia, Hotelbeds, TravelgateX, Agoda and Dida content.

 

More efficient Hotel Mapping processes

One of the latest updates includes a new filter that helps you download only the latest hotel information, reducing the amount of information processed.

As the first download of the "HotelDetails" archive still includes the full data set, you can simply set the last download date and IRIX will automatically receive only new or updated hotel information.

Rezlive - Multiple connections with single mapping

With the latest version of IRIX, Rezlive is treated as a multi-supplier with a single mapping, meaning that you no longer need to map each Rezlive connection individually.

Here are some of the advantages: 

  • You can add multiple Rezlive connections without requiring separate mapping for each one;
  • Only one connection needs to be updated and mapped;
  • Successful searches for all connections, even though only one is mapped.

This update helps you reduce manual effort, simplifies the mapping processes, and ensures seamless searches across multiple Rezlive connections.

More control over currency display for Resellers

We're giving you more flexibility in managing how resellers view prices in the Booking Engine.

Admin users can now enable or disable the "View price in" option that allows resellers to view search results in multiple currencies.

Here's how it works:

  • If set to Yes – Resellers can switch between currencies on the search page.
  • If set to No – Resellers will only see prices in the default currency defined under the “View Currency” field.

Sabre PTCs in IRIX

Unlock negotiated/private fares for Sabre

You can now access Negotiated Fares and Private Fares for the Sabre supplier via consolidators, helping you offer more competitive rates to your partners.

With the new option "Use specific PTCs for negotiated/private fares", IRIX automatically applies specific PTCs to ensure you're receiving the correct fares according to your negotiates agreements.

Carrier specific settings new tab for Amadeus

All carrier-specific settings were unified under one single tab - "Carrier Specific Settings", giving you an easier access to all configurations in one place.

  • All your previous carrier settings have been automatically imported into the new tab
  • A history button is now available to allow you to track any updates and changes made within the carrier settings.
