Can I set different profit margins for flights and hotels on my travel portal?

Yes, your glideFares white label travel portal can usually be set up with different profit margins for flights, hotels and other travel products. This lets you choose how much you want to earn from each type of booking instead of applying the same margin to everything. The exact controls available depend on your portal setup and plan.

A margin may be added as a fixed service charge or as a percentage of the booking value, depending on the product and the way the supplier sends its fares. In some setups, you may also be able to use different rules for particular destinations, suppliers, staff or sub agents. Customers normally see the final selling amount, while your underlying cost and earnings remain within the agency side of the portal.

Not every fare can be adjusted in the same way. Some airlines, hotels or other suppliers may apply rules that limit markups, require certain charges to be shown separately or provide a fare that already includes commission. Taxes and fees may also need to remain unchanged. Because of this, the profit shown on one booking may be calculated differently from the profit on another.

Before your portal goes live, check which margin options are included in your plan, which products allow markups and how the final amount will appear to your customer.
