Live Offer Profit Margin

Set Tourpaq Office Live Offer profit margins for hotel offers. Filter by agency, provider, destination, dates, hotel, and stars. Create/edit rules and verify pricing with View Prices.

Overview

Use Live Offer Profit Margin to view and manage the profit margin (markup) applied to Live Offer hotel results.

These offers typically come from external hotel providers (for example bed banks). The rule defines how much is added on top of the provider net price before showing the final selling price.

Users can filter, edit, or create new profit margin entries that apply to hotels within specific destinations and travel dates.

Purpose

Use this page to ensure Live Offers use your correct margin policy per:

• Agency (brand)

• Provider source (supplier)

• Country, destination, hotel, and star rating

• Departure period (validity dates)

See also: Profit margin rules (used for standard price list generation).

Create a new Live Offer profit margin rule

Purpose

The Create function adds a new profit margin rule for hotels included in Live Offers.

Use it when you onboard a new provider, add a new destination, or change a seasonal margin.

Steps to Create a New Rule

1. Click “Create” Located in the upper-right corner of the Live Offer Profit Margin page.

2. Select the Agency Choose which agency the rule will belong to (e.g., Tourpaq DK). Each agency manages its own margin settings.

3. Choose the Provider Source Select the external provider (e.g., BedBank). This determines which supplier’s hotel results will use the margin.

4. Define the Validity Period

   • Departure Start – The first date when the rule becomes active.

   • Departure Stop – The last date when the rule remains valid. Only bookings departing within this period will have the margin applied.

5. Select the Country and Destination

   • Country – The country where the hotel is located.

   • Destination – The specific city. This helps narrow the rule’s scope to a specific area.

6. Select the Hotel (optional) Choose a particular hotel if the margin applies to a single property. If left empty, the margin applies to all hotels matching the other filters.

7. Set the Star Rating (optional) You can define margins that apply only to certain hotel categories (e.g., 4★ and 5★ hotels).

8. Define the Profit Margin Enter the margin to add on top of the provider net price. Example: a 15% margin means the selling price is 15% higher than the net cost (before other fees).

9. Save the Rule Click Save to store the new profit margin configuration. Once saved, the rule becomes active immediately and is visible in the list.

Result

After creating the new rule:

• The rule appears in the main Live Offer Profit Margin list.

• The Price column updates automatically to reflect the new margin effect.

• When a Live Offer is generated, the system applies this margin to all matching hotel results (based on the selected filters such as provider, destination, and date).
