FAQs for GYG integration :
1. If an Experience is not showing up in the mapping document and it is selected in the integration configuration settings, the Experience is most likely not supported.
2. Some of the reasons an Experience may not be supported : Tiered Pricing, No fixed times in active schedules. All-day experiences with no fixed times will not map.
3. The concept of Early Cut-off does not exist in GYG. If an Experience has an Early Cut-off configured, the GYG reservations will fail if the reservations are attempted within that Early Cut-off window because Xola will not allow the reservations.
4. Per Outing Minimums are not supported for Experiences that have been integrated. All reservations are auto-accepted as long as there is room in that timeslot.
5. Integrated reservations are auto-accepted - if your Experience is set on manual accept this logic will be overridden when a reservation comes in.
