Yes, you can see the costs and build your margin on top. When you connect a flight or hotel API to your portal, you will see the price that the supplier is charging you, and you can set your own selling price to your customers at whatever level you choose. This means you have full control over how much profit you make on each booking. The difference between what you pay the supplier and what your customer pays you is your margin, and you can track this for every booking that goes through your portal.
How easily you can see and manage these costs depends on your setup. If you are using a white label portal, the software will show you the supplier cost for each booking you make, and you can compare it against the price you set for your customers. If you are using an API directly in your own system, you will receive the cost information with each search result and booking response, and you can log and analyze it however works best for your business.
Keep in mind that supplier costs can change between the time you search for a flight or hotel and the time your customer actually pays. Some suppliers also charge different prices depending on how far ahead you book, whether you are booking a package, or other factors. You should check with your account manager about whether you can see historical costs and trends, so you can understand your typical margins across different suppliers and seasons.
Start by looking at a few real bookings in your portal or API reports to see how the costs and prices line up for you, and then talk to our support team if you need help setting up your margin rules or understanding the pricing data you are seeing.
