Expedia Reconciler

Overview

Expedia Reconciler is a Chrome extension that automates the reservation cancellation workflow in Expedia Partner Central. It provides a floating, resizable control panel that simplifies marking reservations as cancellations while ensuring cancellation fees are set to zero.
