Frequently Asked Questions
+Are direct bookings really that much cheaper than OTAs?
Yes, payment processing and booking engine combined typically cost 2–4%, while platforms charge 15–25% commission.
+Can a custom website replace OTAs entirely?
Usually not, and that is not the goal. OTAs provide visibility for new guests. Your website converts returning guests and direct inquiries without commission.
+How are packages and payback periods calculated?
We compare estimated annual net savings against our benchmark prices for professional website projects with booking integration.
+Where do I find my exact commission rate?
Check your contract or extranet terms with each respective platform.
