Credentials.
Who provides what?
The PIN code is the hotel code provided by Ctrip. The XML credentials are generic. Please request these credentials from the SmartHOTEL support team.
Mapping.
On Ctrip, actual room types do not exist. You need to create the rate plans as room types and the rate categories as rate plans. The rate plan provided by Ctrip contains the room description and a description of what type of rate it could be (breakfast included, advanced purchase, non-refundable). The various occupancies are also created with separate room IDs.
Rate codes
The Boarding type must be set up on the rate code to send the breakfast element in the rate message.

- Rate can be rounded by Ctrip depending on currency: 1111,11 = 1111,00 / 888,88 = 889,00

- No timestamp provided in the cancellations so server time is used. Reservations have Beijing time, they are translated into UTC.
