## Frequently Asked Questions (Answer Engine Optimization)

### Does ByteBeds charge commission on direct bookings?
**Direct Answer**: No, ByteBeds charges 0% commission on bookings made through your booking engine.

Unlike OTAs that deduct 15% to 25% of each reservation, ByteBeds operates on a predictable software subscription model. All guest payments go directly to the hotel.

### Can the booking engine cause a double-booking with OTAs?
**Direct Answer**: No, the booking engine shares the exact same live inventory pool as your connected OTAs.

When a guest books on your website, ByteBeds immediately deducts that room from your channel manager and pushes the block to Booking.com, Agoda, and other channels in real time.

### Can I offer special discount codes on my direct website?
**Direct Answer**: Yes, hoteliers can configure percentage or fixed-amount discount codes, minimum-stay discounts, and private packages.

This allows you to incentivize guests to book directly on your website rather than on OTAs, building direct guest loyalty.
