What this article helps you do

B-Aggregate Settings lets you review and manage the general commercial, VAT, and fee settings used when distributing your property through B-Aggregate Demand Partners.

Use this page to:

  • Check whether your room rates are shared as BAR or NET
  • Review and update base commission
  • Review and update flexi commission, if used
  • Check how VAT is applied
  • Check how fees are applied
  • Confirm when the settings were last updated

These are general B-Aggregate settings. Partner-specific settings are managed from B-Aggregate > Distribution.

Before you start

Before updating B-Aggregate settings, confirm the commercial setup agreed for your property.

This is especially important before changing BAR, NET, or commission values, because these settings affect how room rates are shared with B-Aggregate Demand Partners.

Open B-Aggregate Settings

  1. Log in to your Property Account
  2. Go to B-Aggregate
  3. Select Settings

You will see the General Settings page.

Review Commercial Settings

Use Commercial Settings to check how your room rates and commissions are shared through B-Aggregate.

The current category shown is ROOMS.

Update commission settings

  1. Go to B-Aggregate > Settings
  2. In Commercial Settings, check the ROOMS row
  3. Check whether BAR or NET is selected
  4. Click Edit, if available
  5. Update the base commission percentage
  6. Update the flexi commission percentage, if needed
  7. Save or confirm the change

What each commercial setting means

  • BAR - partners receive your public rate before commission is deducted
  • NET - partners receive your rate after commission has already been applied
  • Base Commission - the standard commission percentage used for B-Aggregate distribution
  • Flexi Commission - an optional additional commission layer, usually used for campaigns, promotions, or short-term incentives
  • Last Update - shows when the setting was last updated
  • Information icon - shows additional update details, if available

Important: Always confirm whether the property should use BAR or NET before changing commission values.
