Challenge
Ant / Alipay+ Current Challenges

Ant currently has static hotel content built primarily with Agoda and Expedia, but this does not fully solve multi-supplier hotel and room mapping issues at scale.

Inconsistent Hotel Mapping

Hotel mapping between multiple supplier IDs is inconsistent and difficult to maintain at scale.

Unreliable Room Type Data

Room type data is not fully reliable across suppliers. Agoda room data may contain inaccuracies and should not be used as the only standard.

Compounding Complexity

Each new supplier increases mapping, normalization, routing, timeout, and maintenance complexity significantly.

Inefficient Point-to-Point Model

A point-to-point integration model becomes inefficient as more suppliers are added. Ant needs a scalable supplier switch layer.

Solution
One Amago API, Multiple Hotel Suppliers

Ant integrates with Amago once. Amago manages all supplier API routing, hotel mapping, room/rate plan normalization, real-time aggregation, cache, price check, booking routing, monitoring, and future supplier expansion.

Ant can focus on user experience, payment, and wallet integration while Amago manages the technical complexity of multi-supplier hotel supply aggregation.

Traffic
QPS & Traffic Control

Amago applies client-level, endpoint-level, and supplier-level rate controls to protect service stability.

* Technical protections still apply under normal production usage. Higher campaign traffic subject to capacity review and prior alignment.

HAU Definition

One Hotel Availability Unit = one hotel + one check-in/check-out combination + one occupancy combination + one market/currency context.


Technical Protections
  • Idempotency control
  • Concurrency control
  • Duplicate booking prevention
  • Supplier-side safeguards
  • Emergency throttling

Mapping
Account-level Mapping Operation

Mapping is managed as an account-level operation, not on a per-supplier basis. Ant may allocate monthly mapping capacity to any active supplier, priority destination, priority market, hotel list, room type queue, or supplier below agreed mapping coverage level.

Coverage Targets
Mapping Pool (Per Month)
Hotel-level Manual Review

6,000 records per month

Room / Rate Plan Manual Review

3,000 records per month

Additional Capacity Pack

USD 2,000/month — adds 6,000 hotel + 3,000 room/rate review records

Channel Manager
Channel Manager Handling

Channel manager connections follow the same Supplier API Integration Fee structure as other suppliers. However, CM maintenance does not follow the ordinary supplier maintenance fee model — operational workload depends on active hotel count, setup quality, room type configuration, rate plan consistency, and availability settings.

Fee Structure
Active Hotel Definition

An active hotel is a hotel activated into Ant's production scope that is:

  • Searchable
  • Mappable
  • Able to enter Amago Switch aggregation logic
