# A travel agency website builder that sells your own inventory > Your public website and your agents’ portal sell the same hotels, tours and transfers through the same booking engine, on the same address. A seat a traveller buys online is a seat no agent can sell again, because one allotment and one lock sit behind both. *Source: https://itravel.cloud/travel-website-builder* ## One inventory, two front doors Most travel businesses that sell to agents and to the public run two systems: a trade portal, and a website whose availability somebody updates by hand. A room sold to an agent at noon is still on the website at six, and the traveller who books it gets an apology instead of a voucher. Here the website is a front door onto the portal you already run. Product shelves and destination grids are queries against your published inventory, so the site cannot advertise anything the portal would refuse to sell. A traveller’s booking goes through the same placement path as an agent’s and lands on the same bookings desk, marked as booked by the website. Agents keep their sign-in link in the header, labelled as you choose, or hidden. ## What a page is built from A page is an ordered list of typed sections, not a blank canvas. That keeps every page inside your theme, and it makes the travel parts — trips, destinations, prices — live data rather than pasted text. - **Words and contact.** A hero with your photograph, headline and button; rich text; an FAQ; your team; a contact block whose enquiries are stored before they are emailed, so a mail failure never loses one. - **Your inventory.** Product shelves by kind or featured only, destination tiles, the trips in one destination, and a destination map. - **Proof and reach.** Testimonials, partner logos, a gallery, a video that loads nothing until the visitor presses play, a promo banner, and a newsletter sign-up with double opt-in. - **Look and navigation.** Themes taken from the portal templates, with your typeface, corners, header style, opening-photo layout and accent colour; your own header menu and footer columns, in any of your languages. ## Trip pages and a trip browser that stay accurate Every published product that passes the same readiness check the portal uses gets its own page. The facts on it are yours, word for word: cancellation terms, duration, meeting point, schedule, inclusions and exclusions, and for hotels the rooms, board, check-in times and each rate’s cancellation ladder. A trips page lets a traveller browse by kind, destination and the date a trip actually runs. The site reads in 32 languages, right-to-left scripts included, and each product appears in the traveller’s language wherever you have written it. ## How a net rate becomes a public price Every price you store is the net rate your sub-agents pay. Publishing it would hand your agents’ margin to the public, so the site shows no price at all until you set a retail markup. Say a tour’s net rate is 100 per adult and you set a 25% markup on tours: the trip page shows 125. If you have set nothing for transfers, transfer pages show no price and keep their enquiry form. - **Per kind.** One markup for hotels, another for tours, another for transfers, and a default for anything you leave blank. - **Percentage or flat.** A share of the net rate or a flat amount, whichever matches how you actually price. - **Rounded up.** A public figure rounds up to the unit the traveller sees, never down below the margin you asked for. - **Agents untouched.** The markup applies to the website only; what each agency pays stays exactly where you set it. ## Taking the traveller’s money The shop opens only when your website is on, you have switched selling on, a markup is set and a payment provider has passed a live credential check. - **Your payment provider.** Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, Flutterwave, or bank transfer and pay on arrival, on your own account. You are the merchant of record; the money never passes through iTravel. - **Honest holds.** An unpaid checkout holds the place for the minutes you set, then releases it through the ordinary cancellation path. - **Deposits and instalments.** Switch them on and set a rule per kind or per product: a percentage or fixed amount now, and the balance due a set number of days before travel, in up to six payments. Reminders go out; an overdue balance is shown to your desk and never cancels a booking by itself. - **Documents.** A branded voucher with a QR code is emailed on payment, and on a deposit booking it waits for the full payment unless you choose to send it at the deposit. - **The traveller’s own page.** My bookings opens from a one-time email link, no password. Inside your free-cancellation window a traveller can cancel online, told what comes back before pressing the button; outside it, the page asks them to contact you. - **Changes, if you allow them.** Off by default. You choose which kinds can change, whether the party size can, until when, and whether your amendment fee applies; a dearer change is made only once the difference is paid. ## Search engines, analytics and the website you already have Search-engine indexing is opt-in and off by default, so switching the site on never puts a half-finished site into search. Once you open it, the site carries your own verification tokens, your own Plausible or Google Analytics 4, and structured data in your agency’s name; your pages and sellable trips go into your sitemap, while the portal’s sign-in and back-office pages stay out of search. If you already run a website you are happy with, keep it. Switch on the booking widget and list the exact sites allowed to embed it: the box on your existing pages lets a visitor pick the date and party, shows the live price, and opens the trip on your booking site already filled in. ## Questions ### Will travellers ever see my net rates? No. A public price exists only through a retail markup you set, per kind of product. Where there is no markup, the page shows no price and offers an enquiry form instead. ### Can travellers book packages on the website? A package page shows the programme day by day and its next departures, and takes an enquiry. Online checkout covers tours, transfers and hotels; your agents book packages in the portal. ### What happens with a product I sell on request? The website never sells an on-request line. It asks the traveller for an enquiry instead, so nobody pays for something you have not confirmed. ### Will travellers see iTravel’s brand on my pages? No. Your pages carry your name and logo, structured data in your agency’s name and your own analytics. Our brand, card and tracking are never added to them. ### Is the website a separate product? No. The website and the shop are part of the Portal plan. You switch them on in your settings when the site is ready.
