Understanding Trade in Launchpad

Where the Trade hub lives, what you need before you build a rate sheet, and which article to open next.

Written by Hayden Zammit Meaney

The Trade hub is where you manage trade pricing, rate sheets, and trade partners. Your plan needs Trade access to use it.

What you can do here

This article is the map. Each job below has its own article.

How a rate sheet is priced

On a rate sheet you price products in one of two ways:

  • Commission — the trade rate is your price minus commission. The default commission starts at 25% when you create a sheet; you can change it for the whole sheet, per product, or per rate.

  • Nett — you set a fixed trade price instead of a commission.

Ticking Create as retail rate sheet hides trade rates and shows only recommended retail prices.

Before you create a rate sheet

You cannot create a rate sheet without all of these:

  • A tourism year. An administrator sets these up. If the Tourism Year list is empty, contact your administrator — you cannot create one yourself.

  • At least one tourism product in Tourism products.

  • Rates on that product for the tourism year you will use, set under Business → Rates. A product with no rates for the year still appears on the sheet, but there will be nothing to price.

What to do next

  1. Add missing partners under Trade → Partners.

  2. Create a rate sheet — see Create a rate sheet.

  3. Send it, or print it, from the sheet itself — see Send a rate sheet to trade partners and Print or download a rate sheet.

The only text you edit on the sheet itself is its name and its terms and conditions. Business, product, and rate descriptions live on their own screens — see Which description are you editing on a rate sheet?
