E.g If you have created a tour having 3-time slots i.e 8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM in Vacation Labs than you should have same time slots i.e 8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM or even less i.e 8 AM, 4 PM for the product created in Viator.

Future changes to the product
Once connected, we strongly recommend that you reach out to your Viator Account Manager or Vacation Labs Account Manager directly prior to any changes to your product structure. Changing your product structure could possibly break the mapping and cause bookings to fail.
Changes include:
-
Adding/Removing/Updating tour types (e.g. Adult, Child, Infant, etc.)
