I set up my Bo'kin account a few months ago, but I've been booked all summer due to some local businesses putting out of town visitors in all my units all summer.
Well, summer is over, I have availability again, and I just received my first Bo'kin reservation. The problem is that it has been so long since I set it up, I've forgotten how it works!
I have it set up so myallocator handles passing the availability back and forth between ResKey and Bo'kin and apparently it worked perfectly.
But who collects the money? I've forgotten. Has the guest already paid Bo'kin, and Bo'kin will eventually pass the money on to me, less their commission, such that I need to zero out the guest's account in ResKey?
If Bo'kin did collect the money, how do I know they included and will send me the sales tax? Because when I look at the reservation in Bo'kin it says this:
Total costs confirmed to the guest:
Room price USD 119.00
Excluded 11.75 % Tax USD 13.98
Commissionable amount USD 119.00
Commission USD 17.85
All the amounts are correct. But what does "Excluded" mean? Did they charge the guest $119 + $13.98 = $132.98? Does "Excluded" just mean they don't use the tax amount in calculating the commission?
Thanks. I'm in new territory here!
