1. Architecting the Sub-Agent Hierarchy
A robust B2B travel portal allows a master travel consolidator or OTA to onboard child agencies with independent staff logins, role-based access, and credit limits. Each sub-agent operates within their pre-allocated credit balance or prepaid deposit wallet.
Sub-agent configuration payload
{
"agent_id": "ag_882914",
"company_name": "SkyWay Tours & Travels",
"credit_limit": 50000,
"currency": "USD",
"markup_rules": {
"domestic_flights": { "type": "percentage", "value": 3.5 },
"international_flights": { "type": "fixed", "value": 25.00 },
"hotels": { "type": "percentage", "value": 6.0 }
}
}2. Real-Time Deposit Wallet & Credit Safeguards
Before issuing an airline PNR or hotel voucher, the booking engine verifies the agent wallet balance. If funds are sufficient, the system atomically reserves the fare, issues the ticket, and generates an itemized invoice.
Sub-agents receive white-label PDF receipts and vouchers containing only their agency branding, while supplier net costs remain strictly confidential.
