Every B2B portal has to answer one question before you can book: who pays the supplier, and when. This guide explains the two answers — a prepaid wallet and a credit limit — how each works on DMC Quote, and how to move from one to the other.
Quick answer: On DMC Quote an agent either prepays into a wallet and books against the balance, or, after approval and a booking history, is given a credit limit and settles bookings on agreed terms. Both use the same net rates; the difference is cash-flow timing.
Wallet (prepaid). You top up a balance in USD by bank transfer; each confirmed booking draws down against it. Confirmations are immediate because the supplier is already paid. This is how every new account starts.
Credit limit. The portal confirms bookings up to an agreed limit and you settle on the agreed terms. Nothing changes in the rates; what changes is that your client’s deposit can arrive before your supplier payment leaves.
Credit is not granted at registration. The registration form asks which suppliers you book with today and your typical monthly volume; those answers, plus your booking history on the portal, are what a relationship manager uses to propose a limit. Limits are raised the same way: consistent volume and settlement on time.
If you need capacity for a group before you have that history, prepay the group into the wallet — wallet and credit can run side by side on one account.
Each booking shows its own payment and cancellation deadline, set by the hotel, transfer company or attraction. In the wallet model a cancellation inside the free period returns the amount to your balance; outside it, the supplier’s cancellation charge applies. In the credit model the same charge is added to your statement. The B2B travel payment terms guide covers deposits and deadlines by product type.
Registration itself is free and asks nothing about payment beyond your business details. The two qualification questions — current suppliers and monthly volume — are used later for credit decisions. See the registration guide, then register free.
