Maximum Discount from Agency Commission - WEB

What is a Discount from Agency Commission?

To stay competitive on the market every Agency has the possibility to offer an additional discount from their commission via Booking Manager. This is easily controllable in the system by setting up general discounts or more targeted discount rules. However, to preserve fair play on the market and avoid price dumping, Charter Operator also has the right to limit the maximum discount given from commission. 

Maximum agency discount is set up to 10% by default in Booking Manager and every Charter Operator is able to modify the percentage in accordance to their terms and conditions or policy.

To modify this value, you Settings > Reservation settings > Invoices



Once there, scroll down and find the "Maximum discount from commission"



How does it Work for the Agent - Example

Every agent using the Portal can set their additional discount rule by either entering the general discount:

1. Go to My Account
2. Select Reservation Settings
3. Choose Defaults to set up default discount to be applied at all times

or to enter a more flexible discount rule as described here https://support.booking-manager.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002090991-How-to-manage-additional-agency-discounts

Depending on the % rule set up from the Charter Operator side, Booking Manage will not allow the agency to offer more discount than allowed.

In this example, a special discount entered from the agency side has a value of 12%

But as Charter operator has set up a limitation to 10%, the agency will not be able to give more than 10% additional discount for that certain Charter Operators boat.
