  Duffel uses a pay-as-you-go, per-booking model with zero up-front cost. For
  flights, a fee is charged per confirmed order, plus per-paid-ancillary fees,
  a percentage of order value for managed content, an FX margin when a currency
  conversion is required, and an excess search fee when the search-to-book ratio
  is exceeded. For Stays, Duffel operates on a commission/profit-share model
  where commission paid by the accommodation provider on completed bookings is
  shared with the seller. An Enterprise plan offers custom pricing and the
  option to use your own IATA accreditation.
notes: >-
  Representative published rates from the Duffel pricing page; verify the
  current per-order, ancillary, managed-content, FX, and search-ratio fees and
  the Stays commission share during reconciliation, as these change and vary by
  agreement.
