How to add information to the “Fine Print” section on the Extranet

Requiring a Photo ID verification for Booking.com reservations:

First turn on the requirement in BDC Basics in Boost to require a Guest Address and Phone number. Booking.com requires a traveler to provide identification prior to placing their booking.

Best Practice: Add a note “In Person ID requirement” in the BDC Extranet in the "Fine Print" area. 

Guide on Booking.com Commission

Viewing commission information for individual reservations

You can see reservation-level details like how much commission is due or how much has already been paid for any particular invoice by viewing your Reservation statements in the extranet.

  1. Log in to the extranet

  2. Click on the Finance tab and select Reservation statements

  3. Choose a Period from the drop-down menu to see all the reservation details that have been included in a particular monthly invoice, including how much commission you owe

You can download .xls or .csv versions of your reservation statements from this page if you want to save them or upload them for use in your own accounting software.

For more information about Reservation Statement, please read the following article. 

If the commission percentage stated on the Reservation statement is more than the percentage listed on your contract, you may be participating in one of our marketing programmes like Genius, Preferred Partner or Visibility Booster. To check on your participation and the total commission percentage for these programmes, log on to the extranet and visit each programme’s section in the Boost performance tab. You can also contact the Partner Services team for more assistance by sending a message from your Inbox.
