Hi,

 

How do you do to send your invoice when you are not allowed to show the OTA commission ?

 

For exemple AGODA / HOTELBEDS: 

For which we receive a debit card but only for the net amount. (Reservation amount - commission)
While I am supposed to send an invoice for the total amount closed.
How do you proceed?

Hello @JoyVH !

Not sure about your contract model, but usually with hotelbeds they act as a reseller, so you should only have net amounts in your reservations and invoice only net amounts to hotelbeds.com after charging the VCC… So there is no comission really, but you are actually selling your rooms to the reseller at a discount. The resellers add their margin on top of your discounted rate and sell it to the guests, right?

So no need to account for comission, only make sure you get net rates in your reservations in MEWS and you should be fine, I believe…

JP.

Hello @JoyVH 

 

This is exactly like @j.spiess explained

 

Now, in Mews, you have to work with product rules and/or with travel agency commission setup for the rate to be right everytime if your channel manager (if not Mews itself) is sending you the reservations with the gross rate
