Set up Commission Configuration
Before understanding how to set up a commission, let’s first understand what is the commission.
A commission is a monetary value that allows wholesaler, tour operators, retailers and DMCs to cover their operating costs.
Let’s say the Net Rate of the product is $180, if we have to apply 10% as a mark-up our gross rates would become: $180+10% = $200.
Hence, the gross rate for third parties will sell tours for $200.
Steps:
- Click on ‘Commission Configuration’
- Tick in front of the rate break box
- Write % off discount as advised
- Apply to accommodation & room base rate only
- The update validity period of the rate break
- Click on ‘Save’
