Commission Settlement Layer

Tie pay to stays.
Retire the reconciliation.

Commission is calculated and paid to travel agencies automatically from verified completed stays, so the recurring manual reconciliation of which bookings actually finished disappears. Each agency is paid exactly what it is owed as stays complete, not after a monthly finance chase.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a monthly manual reconciliation into an automatic payout driven by verified stay completion.

01.

Stay-Triggered Commission

Pay only on real stays. Commission accrues when a booking is confirmed complete without cancellation, so payouts track verified completion rather than gross bookings.

02.

Royalty Standard Rates

Encode the terms. The Royalty Standard holds each agency's negotiated rate, so commission is computed from an agreed on-chain rule rather than a spreadsheet lookup.

03.

Automated Clearing

Settle without a batch. Royalty Clearing nets what each hotel owes each agency and releases payment, removing the periodic manual reconciliation run entirely.

04.

Verified Completion

Trust the trigger. A stay is marked complete from the booking record itself, so an agency cannot claim commission on a cancelled or no-show reservation.

05.

Automated Invoicing

Close the loop. Invoices and Billing issues the commission statement against each cleared payout, giving both hotel and agency a matching record.

06.

Dispute-Free Ledger

End the arguments. Because completion, rate, and payout all live on one ledger, a contested commission is resolved against shared state instead of conflicting reports.

The Commission Lifecycle

Follow a single booking from stay completion through rate application to an automatic commission payout.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes commission reconciliation into modular contracts. Each layer verifies completion, applies rates, clears payouts, and invoices so agencies are paid automatically from real stays.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Automated commission settlement is a horizontal capability. Here is how different travel actors put it to work.

Hotels & Hotel Groups

Pay agency commissions automatically from verified completed stays, eliminating the monthly reconciliation of which bookings actually finished and reducing finance overhead.

Travel Agencies & OTAs

Receive exactly what is owed as stays complete, replacing opaque delayed payouts with an on-chain accrual each agency can track in real time.

Tour Operators & Consolidators

Settle layered commissions across suppliers and sub-agents on one clearing ledger, removing the multi-party reconciliation that stalls payments each period.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a legacy property and finance system or letting an agency track accruals from a wallet, Cerulea routes both into one commission ledger.

Track A: Hotel Finance Bridging

For hotels on legacy PMS and finance systems. Completed stays and booking values are translated into commission accruals and clearing runs through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Agency Settlement Wallet

For agencies tracking payouts directly. A wallet reads accruals and cleared commissions straight from the ledger and signs settlement confirmations on the execution layer.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects travel finance integration benchmarks. Wiring completion data, encoding per-agency rates, and building an automated clearing and statement run takes a baseline of 8 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your commission and clearing rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the clearing ledger instantly.
