9 Common Errors

Any errors occurring during updates will be emailed to you with the error message as returned by Traveloka. Unfortunately Traveloka does not provide us whith information on what exactly the error is. Known problem to check if you receive error messages: 

Rate Code:  At the moment Traveloka only allows the rate code "Retail". Check in your channel manager settings, rates and daily prices that no other than "Retail" is mapped". 

Prices too low or wrong currency: Check if the prices you are sending comply with your price limit in Traveloka.
If none of these is the case please contact Traveloka support and ask them why exactly you are receiving error messages. 

Retail price is less than single price 
Check with Traveloka if you have a price limit and  if so have it raised so it is high enough.
