If you are offering Destinations that sell Hotels and Transfers that are located in different locations, such as parts of an island, or a city, using Location Codes in the Service set up will allow users to link those accommodations and their transfers together to ensure the passenger is booking these services in the same region.
For Example:
A Destination is selling Hotel A, Hotel B, and Hotel C. However, Hotel A and Hotel B are located in Location 1 and Hotel C is in Location 2.
By assigning the same Location Code to Hotel A, Hotel B, and the transfer for Location 1, Softrip will automatically offer that transfer service when either Hotel A or Hotel B is selected. If Hotel C is selected, Softrip will offer the transfer service for Location 2.

...
If a Transfer Service has a Location Code that does not match any of the Hotels in the Shop the Transfers will not return
If a Transfer Service does not have a Location Code it will return, but it will be able to be booked with any Hotel that is selected
