Add to cart: travellers now have a shopping basket for travel bookings

Agoda will give a seamless, one-stop travel booking experience.

Agoda launched a new shopping cart function that will allow travellers to add bookings to a shopping cart and enjoy value deals.

The new function will enable travellers to add a selection of properties to the cart with the option to either check out more than one reservation at once or leave them in the cart for later.

“This is an important milestone for us in delivering an integrated trip-planning experience to our customers. We believe travellers want the ease and convenience of booking full itineraries, rather than individual elements,” Omri Morgenshtem, CEO of Agoda, said.

“They want their trip to be cheaper, and they want one trusted source to take responsibility for the entire journey. We aim to be that reliable partner for all.”

This gives customers flexibility to compare prices and availability and enjoy further bundle deal savings.
