When set up to do so, a booking received from a channel will automatically be allocated the respective marketing source.
When manually adding booking to your Online Calendar, you can add the marketing source on the Booking Details.
Open the Booking Details
- Click on the the room.
The Booking Details will open.
Select an existing marketing source
- Click on the 'Search for Source' field.
The Market Sources search page will open.
Select the marketing source from the provided list of existing marketing sources.
Use the search field to type in the marketing source name - this will narrow down the search results.
The booking is now affiliated to the marketing source.
- Click within the 'Commission' field to activate the cursor and enter the commission percentage if applicable.
Commission percentage added will automatically apply to future bookings from this source
The last commission percentage entered and saved on a booking, for an existing marketing source, will automatically be applied to all future bookings affiliated to the existing market source.
- If the channel does not charge commission, leave the commission percentage as 0.00.
- If the specific source charges commission, you should indicate the commission value.
Keep the marketing source commission percentages up to date.
When commission percentages change, update these on a booking from that channel/market source. All future bookings from the particular channel/marketing source will have the same percentage applied.
Past bookings will always display the then applied commission percentage.
If there was no commission percentage added prior when getting bookings from a booking source, you will need to manually capture the percentage of commission you were charged at that time when the booking was made.
Save your changes
When you have made any change to a booking, it is important to save your changes on the Booking Details.
Exit the window using the 'X' on the top right.
