4.1 Future Charges

The Booking.com Charges API allows setting date-based fees/taxes using FROM and TO.

Format:

FEENAME=amount FROM=YYYY-MM-DD TO=YYYY-MM-DD

Example:

AIRPORTSHUTTLEFEE=12 FROM=2026-03-09 TO=2026-05-31

The fee applies only within the defined date range. Outside this period, the previous value applies.

Notes:

• FROM is optional (defaults to today)
• TO is optional (applies indefinitely if not set)
• Both formats are supported:

FEENAME 10
FEENAME=10

Unsetting a charge:

FEENAME=0 FROM=YYYY-MM-DD

Rules:

• Charges cannot overlap
• Avoid using past dates (may cause unexpected results)
• On import, FROM is only set if it is in the future

Booking.com UI behavior:

Updating charges may create duplicate entries instead of replacing existing ones.

Recommended flow: 1. Remove existing charges 2. Sync 3. Add new values 4. Sync again
