WatchMyRate (WMR) is a widget designed to help properties drive more direct bookings through their own website. It compares your direct rates with those listed on OTAs, giving guests a compelling reason to book directly.
The widget displays a comparison of your direct rate vs OTA rates.
Guests see the benefit of booking directly, such as lower prices or added value.
WMR bookings are tracked in the Bookings and Insights modules using the company code.
The widget is auto-filled when using Swiftbook and must be embedded on your website to be visible.
