Commissions

Percentages per passenger type, scoped by route and airline.

This screen only exists on some platforms

Commissions appears when your platform uses controlled markups. On a free-markup platform the screen is not in your sidebar at all, whatever accesses a role holds — nothing is wrong, and no role change will reveal it.

Which mode your platform uses is decided by your platform operator.

The shape of a commission​

FieldApplies to
Adult Percentage12 years and above
Child Percentage2 to 12 years
Infant Percentage10 days to 2 years

All three are required, and each must be a whole number between 0 and 100.

Scoping​

FieldNotes
AirlineOptional. One airline
Define RouteA checkbox. Tick it to add an Origin Airport and a Destination Airport, which cannot be the same airport

A commission with no airline and no route applies to every flight.

Ticking Define Route needs a scope

Once Define Route is ticked, at least one of origin, destination or airline must be filled in, or the form refuses to save.

How overlaps resolve​

The same rule as markups: the most specific commission wins, and they never stack. The list carries a reminder. A commission naming an airline and a route beats one naming only the airline.

Duplicates​

Create one whose scope already exists and the panel shows Previous Commission and New Commission side by side, asking you to confirm the replacement.

The list​

ColumnShows
Origin · Destination · AirlineThe scope, or All Origins / All Destinations / All Airlines
Adult / Child / Infant Commission %The percentages

Search by origin, destination or airline; sort newest or oldest.

Deleting​

Delete is per row and removes the commission and all its related information.

Changes are not retroactive

Future bookings only.

Where the effect shows​

Flight order details carry a Commission Details section, split into supplier and seller shares per passenger type, alongside Markup Details and Our profit.

Questions​

I cannot find this screen. Your platform uses free markups. Use Flight Markups instead.

Why does the form reject my entry? Either Define Route is ticked while origin, destination and airline are all empty, or a percentage is not a whole number from 0 to 100.

How does this relate to markups? On a controlled-markup platform, commissions are how your margin on scheduled flights is expressed; those flights are not marked up. Charter flights still take Flight Markups.

Why is this flagged high risk in the role editor? Anything beyond viewing under Commissions changes what you earn. Grant it narrowly.
