Wholesale limits allow you to work with resellers who do not integrate dynamic pricing — typically city passes — without losing money. These resellers usually pay a fixed low wholesale rate, regardless of your current retail/fare pricing.

🧮 CALCULATE WHOLESALE VALUE
If commission is percentage:
[retail price] - [commission percentage] * [retail price]If commission is absolute:

Wholesale Limits in Practice
Bookings within the limit
Bookings within the limit
A customer books a non-Sunset fare — covered entirely by the reseller voucher.
Retail | €44.00 |
Paid by Voucher | €44.00 |
Receivable | €17.60 |
Bookings exceeding the limit
Bookings exceeding the limit
A customer books a Sunset fare — €10 more expensive. Customer pays the difference.
Retail | €54.00 |
Paid by Voucher | €44.00 |
Paid by Cash | €10.00 |
Receivable | €17.60 |
The receivable remains the same (€17.60) in both cases — the reseller always pays the same amount. Any price difference is collected from the customer.
