Partner commissions and rates

ISIgor SedovUpdated 8 September 20266 min read7 480 read

Commission is your share of every confirmed sale. At Sales.Travel it's set up transparently: the rate depends on the product you sell and grows as your sales volume grows. Below we break down how this works in practice and what shapes your final percentage.

In short

Commission accrues on a paid booking (not on an issued invoice). Agents earn 4% CPA on catalogue and invite-a-friend. Operators earn 10–18% on own tours (+2 pp per 1M ₽). Listings: 10% pool, 50/50 split. Flights and eSIM are out of this offer. The accrual journal is in the account.

01 / BasicsWhat commission is earned on

Commission is earned not for the request itself, but for a confirmed and paid sale. Until the booking is confirmed by the supplier and the client has paid, the accrual is treated as pending rather than locked in. Once it's confirmed, the amount goes into your balance and becomes available for payout on schedule.

  • Confirmation. The booking is accepted by the supplier and not cancelled.
  • Payment. The client has paid for the order in full.
  • Completion. For some products, commission locks in after the service is delivered — check-in or departure.
Cancellations and refundsIf a confirmed order is cancelled or refunded to the client, the related accrual is reversed. That's why in your account commission moves through the stages «pending» → «confirmed» → «payable».

02 / ProductsWhy the rate depends on the product

Rates are public. Catalogue (hotels, our packages) — 4% agent CPA. Operator own inventory — 10% growing to 18% with turnover. Listings (cars, apartments, realty) — a 10% pool: if another agent brought the guest, the pool is split 50/50. Flights and eSIM are not in this offer.

03 / VolumeHow the rate grows with volume

The more confirmed sales you make, the higher your percentage becomes. The rate is reviewed against your accumulated turnover over a period: once you reach the next threshold, you move up to a higher tier. It's cumulative — the increase holds as long as you keep your volume up.

1

Starting tier

At onboarding you get a base rate for each product, set out in your contract.

2

Building up volume

Every confirmed sale adds to your qualifying turnover for the period.

3

Crossing a threshold

Once you reach the next threshold, you move to a higher rate on the relevant products.

4

Reviewing your terms

Consistently high volume is a good reason to discuss individual terms with your manager.

Tip: concentrate your volumeBy running your sales through a single Sales.Travel account, you reach thresholds faster and unlock a higher rate sooner than if you split your flow across several platforms.

04 / TrackingWhere to see your accruals and rate

Your current rate for each product, your accumulated turnover and the status of every accrual are shown in your partner account. It also shows which sales are already confirmed and how much is ready for payout. Details on the payout schedule are covered in a separate article on payouts.

  • Your current rate and how much turnover is left until the next threshold.
  • Accrual status: pending, confirmed or payable.
  • Your sales history, with commission tied to each order.

05 / FAQFrequently asked

What percentage will I get?

Your exact rate depends on the product and your volume, and is agreed individually at onboarding — it's set in the contract and visible in your account. There's no single fixed percentage that applies to everyone.

When does the commission become finally mine?

Once the sale has been confirmed and paid, and for some products once the service has been delivered. Until then the accrual is marked as pending and can be reversed if the order is cancelled.

Will my rate drop if my volume falls?

Your tier is tied to your turnover over a period, so a significant drop in volume may trigger a review. A steady stream of sales keeps you on the higher tier — check the details with your manager.

How do I become a partner?

Submit an application and complete onboarding — every step is covered in our guide on becoming a partner. Once your account is active, your rates and accruals will appear in your account.
