Prices

Setting Tariffs

GP Travel Enterprise allows you to set prices for self-operated services in 2 different ways:

...

  • The net-price of the service (the amount that is paid to a supplier) is equal to the price in the price-list after minus the supplier’s discount and tour operator’s commission, which is calculated according to the actual commission plan:
    Net price = The price in the price-list – Supplier’s discount – Tour operator’s commission

  • The gross-price (the price for a tourist) is equal to the net-price with the tour operator’s mark-up minus supplier’s and tour operator’s discounts:
    Gross price = The price in the price-list + tour operator’s mark-up – supplier’s discount – tour operator’s discount

If you click Use net price-lists for supplier and gross price-lists for customer when editing the tariff, the price calculation will be implemented in the following way:

  • The net-price of the service (the amount that is paid to a supplier) is equal to the price, specified in the "net" price-list minus supplier’s and tour operator’s discounts:
    Net price = The price in the price-list with net-prices – Supplier’s discount – Tour operator’s commission

  • The gross-price (the price for a tourist) is equal to the price, specified in the "gross" price-list with the tour operator’s mark-up minus tour operator’s discount:
    Gross price = The price in the price-list with gross-prices – Tour operator’s discount + Tour operator’s mark-up

Note: If you choose Use net price-lists for supplier and gross price-lists for customer and the price-list does not affect certain dates, all offers for this date are not displayed in the search results.
