A distribution channel card showing availability, commission rate, and setup wizard link
How it works
- Channel availability badge — shows whether a channel is "Live" (ready to connect) or "Coming soon."
- Commission rate — the percentage the channel takes from each booking made through it, shown as a read-only number.
- Setup wizard link — opens a step-by-step flow to connect a channel like Viator or GetYourGuide.
- Calendar sync status — shows whether the channel's calendar connection is connected, pending, or has an error.
- Example item day-rate — a reference price used to demonstrate how commission is calculated, based on your lowest-priced fleet item (or a $150 fallback if you have none priced yet).
For Viator and GetYourGuide specifically, the channel itself collects the renter's payment — not Renta. Because of that, Renta cannot add its usual 2.5% fee at checkout for those bookings. Instead, Renta invoices the same 2.5% (on the pre-tax amount) once a month for the bookings that came through the channel. There is no monthly fee for connecting, and nothing is billed in a month with no bookings. On the Flat plan nothing extra is billed.
Example
If your commission rate on Viator is 20% and a customer books a $150-a-day jet ski through Viator, Viator collects the customer's payment, keeps its 20% commission, and pays you the rest — Renta adds no fee at checkout, and instead includes 2.5% of the pre-tax amount of that sale on your monthly commission invoice. There is no flat monthly fee (on the Flat plan nothing extra is billed).
Good to know
- This is only available if distribution is enabled on your account.
- The monthly commission invoice replaces, and is the same rate as, Renta's normal 2.5% booking fee — see Renta's fee vs. your subscription plan.
- Turning on a channel here doesn't automatically sync every item — see Syncing item availability to outside calendars to choose which items push their calendar.
