Some Operators offer zero price bookings, or allow certain passenger types to have a zero price, or a zero price for certain dates.
By default the RBE and OBE do not allow bookings for passenger types that have a zero price, unless they are a dependent type (eg Infants must travel with an adult, then the infant may be $0)
Passenger types with a price always take precedence over the Allow Zero Price Booking setting.
However if the Allow Zero Price Booking setting is enabled, a booking will still be accepted if no price is found.
When setting a price for a fare/pax after enabling the Zero Price option, the Sell price displays a message that this tour can be sold for $0.00 if a matching price is not found.
Understanding Zero Price Bookings in RBE
If the setting is enabled, and the total price is zero, then a $0.00 Agent On Account payment line will be automatically added to balance the booking. The booking will be saved as Confirmed and not tentative.
Understanding Zero Price Bookings in OBE
If the setting is enabled and the price is zero, then the guest will see a “Payment is not required” message on the Check out page, instead of a Payment option
If the setting is enabled and the price is not zero, then the guest will see the normal payment options screens on the Check out page.
