How is my Boost commission calculated?

  • Boost commission is collected on both rent and fees, but not on taxes 

  • Boost commission is collected on any cancellation fees that were paid as part of a cancelled reservation 

If you see commission being charged for a cancelled reservation that you did not receive any money for, please provide documentation from the OTA showing that the reservation was cancelled in full, and the amount earned on the reservation was $0. This can be provided in whatever form is easiest for you – a screenshot, PDF, etc. You will need to send this to Billing@bluetent.com and be sure to include your name, the invoice you are referencing, and the reservation details. 


Why is my listing showing inactive on a channel?

How do I make changes to amenities?

Boost allows you to map the amenities that you have set-up in your PM Software to the amenity terms offered by each OTA. If an amenity isn’t mapped in Boost then it won’t show on the OTA. See instructions below on how to view and map your amenities in Boost.

Note: All new amenities added to your PMS need to be mapped in Boost!

How do I make sure fees are mapped correctly?

Anytime you add a new fee in your PMS you need to map that fee in Boost.

 

How to send a listing live?

All new listings added in your PMS need to be published to all OTA’s connected by Boost.

How do I unpublish a listing?

All listings inactivated in your PMS need to be unpublished from all OTA’s connected by Boost.

How can I mark-up rates to cover commissions?
