How to set up margins and visibility for my distributed Trips templates?

1️⃣ Detailed (Single) Distribution → Configure visibility and pricing for each Trip individually for a specific Tour Operator (TO).
2️⃣ Bulk Edit Distribution → Modify pricing margins & visibility for multiple Trips & TOs simultaneously, saving time.

✅ Apply Margins (Percentage or Fixed Amount).
✅ Manage Visibility (Enable or Disable Trip Templates per TO).
✅ Select Distribution Method (Single or Bulk Edit).

🚀 Objective: Ensure optimized pricing & visibility while managing Trips efficiently across different TOs.

📌 Tip: Use Single Distribution when you need specific pricing per Trip per TO. Use Bulk Edit for faster mass updates.

1. Setting up Trip Templates distribution (Detailed method)

Configuring template visibility & margins

Click on the "Distribution" section.

Identify the TO you want to configure.

Click the Wheel Icon ⚙ → Select "Template Settings".

To define pricing for hotels:
- Navigate to the "Browse Templates" section.

- Search for Template name

- Choose between Percentage margin

- or Fixed amount margin

- Click the Eye Icon 👁 to add Templates to the TO's available catalog.

- Click on Save

📌 Example: A TO books mostly FIT (individual travelers). You hide group tour templates and only distribute customized private trips.

Important pricing considerations

Trip pricing consists of:

✔ Markup on individual experiences (inside the trip).
✔ Additional markup on the full trip template.

📌 Example: You apply a 15% markup on experiences and an extra 10% markup on the full trip, ensuring a healthy profit margin.

⚠️ If you add an additional markup in the template distribution, the markup will be added to the markups set up in the Experiences composing your DMC template.

📌 Remark : Avoid overpricing due to double markup layering. Ensure markup percentages are well-structured.

Saving & activating the distribution settings

Once all settings are configured:

Click "Save" (top-right corner).
The TO will receive an email notification indicating:

- Whether their request was approved or denied.

- If approved, they can start booking immediately.

2. Bulk Editing Trip Templates distribution

The Bulk Edit feature for Trip Templates allows DMCs to manage the distribution of pre-configured itineraries across multiple TOs.

Filtering & selecting experiences

Select the Tour Operators with the symbol 📄 at the top.

Click on Templates section

Filter Templates by name or "Favorites".

💡 Tip : To facilitate selection and search, a search bar is available by name. There are also filters to help you, such as All templates or Only your Favorites of your Catalog.

If you click on the select all button. Templates will be selected in bulk on this selection. You'll see "3 selected" in gray.

At any time, if you need to double check the selection of Templates, you can use the filters at your disposal.
- All : displays all (selected and not selected Templates)
- Selected : displays only your selected Templates
- Not Selected : displays all the not selected Templates

If you wish to remove the selection and start again from scratch, click on Deselect all.

Applying Templates margins & visibility

Go to the "Update Selection" section.

📌 Note: The “No change” you see, either at this section or in the Templates list below, allows you not to update existing configurations. In fact, if you have already set margins, you can select "no change" so that the update does not affect a selection of specific Templates.

Here for example, I'm going to allocate a 5% margin to these selected Templates.
- Choose between Percentage (%) or Fixed Amount.
- Enter the margin value.
- Set visibility as “Visible”.
- Click on "Apply to selected". The margin will be applied instantly.

If you wish to differentiate margins to selected clients in the top section, you can directly update the Templates.
- For example, on the 2nd Template, I prefer to apply a margin at 10%.

📌 Important: Trips are already marked up based on Experience pricing. If you add a markup at the Template level, it will be added on top of the Experience margins inside the Trip.

When you are finished with the settings of Margin :
- Click on “Apply Modifications” a message will appear indicating that it’s saved.
- Click on "Quit" if you wish to leave this page.

📌 Tip : The Button : “Reset Form” allows you to reset the client's selection.
