DistributioniBex allows for the creation of Registered Users and Agents. This is a powerful tool to allow you to market your website to different client groups. With 6 rate values, you can have one price for the public, various discounted rates for privileged users and higher rates for your agents to take a commission on.The rate values can be calculated off Rate 1, or independent of Rate 1. Any changes made to Rate 1 would instantly affect those calculated from it, but not the fixed rates An example is illustrated below, but you can set your own multiplier figures.
Rate 1 would be your normal rate for the general public. Credit cards could be required for deposit. Contact information would be required. Rates 2 & 3 would be a previously negotiated rates with a business users, which would not change based on the rate 1 value. By entering a purchase order number, credit card screens would be bypassed to allow invoicing. Contact information would be pre-populated to make the booking process faster. Rate 4 would be a group for all your regular business users where you were offering a flat 10% discount on any bookings. Each user is created individually, and assigned to Rate 4 (in this example) - so many different businesses can use Rate 4. Credit cards may be bypassed in favour of invoicing on a per user basis, as could contact information being pre-populated. Rate 5 would be a travel agent who books via their link to your site and charges a guest 10% deposit for their commission. The balance being payable to you on departure. Rate 6 would offer a way to encourage repeat booking, by offering all guests the ability to get a 5% discount if they book online. Credit cards and contact information required. |
