Start with refundable deposits
Full OTA requires refundable deposits that support operational balance, security, risk control, and settlement review.
// Pay-as-you-go Full OTA
Pay as you grow,
not before you grow.
Luxota Full OTA removes the traditional annual software license model and replaces it with a structured commercial model based on refundable deposits, usage-based segment fees, and approved activation charges.
Core Promise
A full OTA platform without annual license fees.
You do not pay a fixed yearly software license before your agency proves demand. Your commercial cost follows real operating usage and approved activations.
Annual Software License
Not charged
No fixed annual software license fee under Luxota Full OTA.
Monthly Platform Access
Not charged
No fixed monthly platform access fee for Full OTA.
Usage Model
Segment-based
Usage fees apply when issued or confirmed operational services are processed.
Financial Base
Refundable deposits
Operational and security deposits support the commercial structure.
What this means
You avoid large fixed software licensing before growth.
Traditional travel portal providers often require agencies to pay a fixed annual license before real demand is proven. Luxota Full OTA changes that logic by allowing agencies to enter a full OTA operating model without an annual software license.
No annual software license fee
No fixed monthly platform access fee
No separate standard hosting fee
No separate standard support fee
Usage-based segment fee model
Approved activation charges only when needed
What this does not mean
Pay-as-you-go does not mean free.
Luxota Full OTA is a structured commercial model. It removes fixed license pressure, but it still requires deposits, usage charges, approved activation fees, VAT where applicable, and financial settlement discipline.
Not a free platform
Not unlimited usage without cost
Not immediate refund of deposits
Not automatic supplier activation
Not open access to all services without approval
Not a replacement for agency financial responsibility
// Commercial Structure
How the model works.
Luxota Full OTA shifts commercial pressure away from upfront annual licensing and toward real usage, operational readiness, and approved activation scope.
Activate only what you need
Supplier integrations, payment gateway activations, and advanced operational layers are activated based on approval, readiness, and scope.
Pay based on real usage
Segment fees apply when issued or confirmed services are processed, rather than charging a fixed annual license upfront.
Scale with operating discipline
As volume grows, the agency operates with Trustee, balances, invoicing, settlement logic, and structured commercial controls.
// What You Pay For
Usage, deposits, and approved activations.
Full OTA is commercially lighter than fixed licensing, but it still has clear operating charges. This makes the model easier to enter while keeping the system financially sustainable.
Refundable Operational Deposit
Supports operational usage, segment fees, and approved deductions under the Full OTA model.
Refundable Security Deposit
Supports risk, obligations, disputes, and settlement review according to the agreement terms.
Segment Fees
Usage-based charges applied to issued or confirmed services processed through the operating model.
Approved Activation Charges
Supplier activation, payment gateway activation, and approved custom work may be charged separately.

// Segment Fee Logic
Usage fees follow operational activity.
Segment fees are not charged just because the platform exists. They apply when real operational services are issued, confirmed, or processed according to the service type and commercial terms.
Per passenger
Flight segment fees are applied based on passengers processed through the Full OTA operating model.
Per guest
Hotel usage charges follow guest-based operational processing under the agreed commercial model.
Per traveler
Tour usage fees are applied when travelers are confirmed or processed through the system.
Per applicant
Visa usage fees follow applicant-based operational processing and agency responsibility rules.
Why this model matters.
Many agencies hesitate to move online because traditional travel technology pricing asks them to pay heavily before growth is proven. Luxota’s Pay-as-you-go Full OTA model reduces that barrier while keeping the system commercially disciplined.
Less fixed software pressure
More alignment with real usage
Clearer pathway to scale
