  • How do I make sure agents book me?

    Because of the wide range of product that is accessible it is imperative to market your product well. The details you provide are showcased on our TravelDesk, through our API to OTA’s, via Wholesalers and sometimes used in print media. Below are a few tips!

    • Make sure your images are of a high quality – think Instagram worthy!
    • Sell yourself! Make sure your product information is up to date and includes all the information a customer or agent would need to know prior to booking your product.
    • Offer a introductory special – HOT DEAL – talk to our dedicated Support Team if you want to know more about this feature.
  • How much commission does the agent see?

    Operators have ultimate flexibility in allocating commission rates to agents. You can offer one commission rate for all agents or provide different rates for different agents. Our Service Fee is always included in the commission rate you set.

    For example: Unique Rate Group 1: if you have set a 27% commission, and the agent is on an WebsiteTravel volume-based Service Fee* of 2%, the agent will see and earn 25% commission. If that agent is on a WebsiteTravel volume-based Service Fee* of 3%, the agent will see and earn 24% commission.

    Unique Rate Group 2: if you have set a 20% commission, and the agent is on an WebsiteTravel volume-based Service Fee* of 2%, the agent will see and earn 18% commission. If that agent is on an AAGT volume-based Service Fee* of 3%, the agent will see and earn 17% commission.

    *Service Fees are determined on several factors including but not limited to the annual Total Transaction Value of bookings processed by an agent through WebsiteTravel and the technology product the bookings are processed through. Volume-based Service Fees are designed to incentivise growth in volume of bookings and support the ongoing development of the technology platforms. A new self-service tool is currently on the Development Roadmap to enable you to create and manage your unique rate groups independently. In the meantime, however, please email support@websitetravel.com if you’d like to setup different rates for different agents.
