Initial Setup of API Fee
Viewing / Editing the Fee
API Fees are charges added by the owner of the sales channel to the product price.
This amount is considered revenue for the sales channel owner (IdWeb).
Note: A prerequisite for configuring this fee is having a Servicing User with the role “Consolidator API Fees/discounts config”.
Initial Setup of API Fee
We’ll guide you step-by-step to complete the configuration of these fees:
- Go to Servicing
-
Select Fees
3. Select the IdWeb / sales channel to which the fee will apply, and then click "Add fee" to open the configuration form.
4. A form will appear, showing the selected IdWeb where the rule will be applied, along with all available configuration options.
From here, select the options that best match your commercial goals:
- Flight type: Available options include Domestic, Regional, and Interregional.
- Origin airport: Apply the fee only to flights departing from a specific airport.
- Destination airport: Apply the fee only to flights arriving at a specific airport.
- Airline: Apply the fee to a specific airline.
- Provider: Apply the fee to a specific provider.
- Fee amount: Enter a fixed fee amount, if applicable.
- Fee percentage: Enter a percentage-based fee, if applicable.
-
Active: You can configure the fee as active or inactive.
- If set as active, it will apply immediately to searches.
- If set as inactive, it must be manually activated to apply.
- This is a useful alternative if you prefer to keep the fee without deleting it for future use.
Example:
In this case, a fee of USD 10 will be applied to Domestic flights operated by Aerolíneas Argentinas (AR), for the provider Amadeus BUEG, within the sales channel “API Starlings Operaciones (101...)”.
This rule will be saved as Active.
5. Once all data is entered, click Save to store the rule.
Viewing / Editing API Fees
To view or edit an existing fee from the Fees main screen, you must first select the IdWeb.
If you don’t select one, you’ll receive the message: "Web is required."
Once the IdWeb is selected, click Search to display all existing fees.
From there, you can edit or delete them as needed.
