Commissionable Rate

What Is a Commissionable Rate? Definition for Tour Operators

A commissionable rate is a selling price that includes a commission the operator pays to the agent, reseller, or online travel agency that makes the sale.

With a commissionable rate, the reseller sells at your public price and you pay them a percentage afterward. With a net rate, you give the reseller a lower price and they add their own markup. Both models appear across OTAs, concierge desks, hotels, and tour resellers.

Why it matters for operators

Knowing which model each partner uses keeps your public prices consistent and your margins predictable. Track commissions by channel so you can see which resellers are worth the cost.
