Frequently asked

Questions travel agencies ask.

Ten questions about travel agency accounting, answered directly. If yours isn't here, email us.

What software do travel agencies use to reconcile supplier payments?

Most agencies match supplier invoices to bookings by hand, in spreadsheets. Wihemi Travel validates each supplier invoice against the booking it belongs to before payment is released, so an invoice with no reservation behind it never gets paid, and every payment traces back to the trip that generated it.

How do travel agencies tie client deposits to specific bookings?

In general accounting software a deposit arrives as an unallocated cash entry. Wihemi Travel links each client payment to the reservation it pays for, so at any moment you can see what a booking has been paid, what is still owed, and when the balance is due.

How do travel agencies track and automate commission calculations?

Wihemi Travel calculates retail and agency commission splits on every booking from the sale price and the supplier cost. Margin is recalculated whenever a payment, change, or refund is recorded, so commission figures stay current instead of being rebuilt from scratch at month end.

What do travel agencies use for multi-currency booking accounting?

Wihemi Travel records each booking line and each payment in the currency it actually occurred in, then rolls totals up to a single reporting currency. A supplier billed in euros and a client paying in dollars sit on the same reservation, without manual conversion.

How can a travel agency keep an audit trail of booking changes and refunds?

Modifications, cancellations, and refunds are logged with the user who made the change and when it happened, and refunds are recorded against the original payment. When tax season or a client dispute arrives, the record already exists rather than being reconstructed from email threads.

Is Wihemi Travel a booking engine, a CRM, or an itinerary builder?

No. Wihemi Travel does not sell travel, build itineraries, or manage leads. It is accounting and back-office software that begins once a booking exists: the client payment, the supplier cost, the commission, the change, the refund. It sits between your booking system and your accounting system.

How is Wihemi Travel different from general accounting software?

General accounting software records transactions after they happen. It does not follow a booking through its life, so a client deposit lands as unallocated cash and a supplier invoice has no reservation behind it. Wihemi Travel keeps that relationship intact, then hands reconciled totals to your accounting system.

Can an agency use Wihemi Travel alongside its existing accounting software?

Yes. Wihemi Travel is built to sit alongside general accounting software rather than replace the general ledger. It handles the booking-level detail: payments, supplier costs, commissions, deadlines, and refunds. It produces reconciled figures your accountant can post.

How do host agencies track commissions across independent agents?

Host agencies split commissions across independent agents, and the arithmetic changes with every payment and every refund. Wihemi Travel calculates retail and agency splits on each booking, tracks what has been received and what is still owed, and records the agent attached to the reservation.
