The short answer
The storefront, booking engine and back office an OTA runs on

- Switch on the product lines you sell and load your own inventory
- Set markups, currencies, taxes and cancellation policies per product

Several products paid in a single journey and stored under one customer and booking reference.

Markups, currency, tax and cancellation policy per product line, supplier or destination.

How an OTA booking flows
From supplier contract to refund, in one pipeline
The same steps for every product line, so operations work one process instead of one supplier extranet per product.
Source
Live rates and availability from your connected suppliers and own inventory.
Price
Your markups, taxes and currency rules applied before results show.
Sell
Customers compare, add products to one basket and pay online.
Fulfil
Bookings sent to each supplier, then tickets and vouchers issued.
Service
Changes, cancellations and refunds handled from the admin.
Report
Revenue, margin and supplier payables by product line.
What decides OTA margin
Your contracts, your inventory, your licence
Margin at volume comes from how the platform is owned and connected, not from the feature list.
Your supplier contracts
Use your own credentials and negotiated rates with flight, hotel, tour and car suppliers, so the margin stays in your contract.
Your own inventory
Load contracted hotels, tours and transfers yourself and sell them next to API content in the same search.
A one-time licence
A per-booking fee grows with every sale. A licence does not, so a busy month does not mean a bigger platform invoice.
Back office
Run commercial, operations and IT from one admin
Each team gets what it needs from the same installation and the same data.
Commercial
Markups, currencies, coupons and cancellation policy set per product line, without waiting on a vendor.
Operations
Bookings, amendments, refunds, vouchers and invoices for every product in one place.
IT
PHP on your own infrastructure with the source included: read it, audit it, extend it and deploy on your schedule.
Roles and access
Admin, staff, supplier, agent and customer accounts with their own permissions.
B2B agents
Add an agent portal with separate rates, commissions and wallet balances from the same installation.
Reports and exports
Sales, margin, refunds and supplier payables by product, ready to export to accounting.

| Customer data | Per-booking platformUsually held in the vendor's hosted tenancy | PHPTRAVELSIn your own database, under your backup policy |
| Unusual pricing rules | Per-booking platformA feature request on the vendor's roadmap | PHPTRAVELSSource included, so your developers build it |
| Supplier contracts | Per-booking platformOften limited to the vendor's connected suppliers | PHPTRAVELSYour own credentials and negotiated rates |
| Release schedule | Per-booking platformUpdates arrive on the vendor's timetable | PHPTRAVELSYou decide when to deploy and what to change |

FAQ
Online travel agency software questions
What OTA founders and operators ask before choosing a platform.
Talk to salesThe storefront, booking engine and back office an OTA runs on: customer search and checkout, supplier connectivity, and an admin for bookings, refunds, documents and reporting. It is the layer between your supplier contracts and your customers.
Yes. Flights, hotels, tours, cars, ferries, rail and visas run as modules on one codebase, sharing one admin, one customer record and one set of pricing rules, so a customer can book several products in one journey.
Not on a PHPTRAVELS licence. Plans are paid once (Startup $2499, Agency $4999, Enterprise $9999) and do not rise with booking volume. Ask any vendor what happens to your bill when volume doubles.
Yes. You connect suppliers with your own credentials and negotiated rates, and add your own contracted hotels, tours and transfers alongside them in the same search.
In your own database on your own server. Because the software is self-hosted, backups, retention and access follow your policy rather than a vendor's.
Yes. Every plan includes the full source code under a commercial licence, so your developers can audit it, change pricing logic and add features on your own release schedule.
