3. Let Rezdy manage Agent payments
Working with agents? Let us handle the payments they accept on your behalf, and the commission payments that you make to them.
You have four options when it comes to accepting agent payments.
For example, if you have a $100 order and 20% commission on products:
- Full payment to agent: Agent takes $100. You invoice the agent for $80 on a regular basis, or after customers give you vouchers from this agent.
- Downpayment to agent: Agent takes $20 at time of booking. The customer pays you $80 on the day of the tour, or when you request the payment.
- Full payment to supplier: You get $100 at time of booking. You pay the agent on a regular basis, or when he invoices you.
- No payment tracked: No payment is tracked on Rezdy. Orders will be unpaid.
