Form of Payments

4.1 Introduction

Any new lodging reservation requires a form of payment to be specified. The availability of a particular form of payment for a used source (GDS, Aggregator) is returned in the Hotel Price Check API's response (hotel pricing is out of scope of this document). If a form of payment is added that is not accepted by the supplier, the lodging product returns an error. Refer to the Error Messages section for more information.

Below is a list of payment forms supported by the lodging functionality:

Form Of Payment	OTA Code	Guarantee	Deposit
Credit card	5	Y	Y
Agency Address	18	Y	Y
IATA Number	19	Y	N
Company	29	Y	N
Corporate ID	30	Y	Y
Virtual Form Of Payment	43	Y	Y

To add lodging products, add the proper form of payment associated with the segment in the same request using the FormOfPaymentReference newRef attribute:

FormOfPaymentReference newRef=" 1 ".

The newRef attribute refers to a particular form Of payment id added in the same request:

Depending on the form of payment, certain elements within the request can shift from mandatory to optional. Examples for each type are described later in this guide. Required elements for each case are marked with mandatory.

If no Guarantee or Deposit is populated, an error message displays:

Code 3009, Message MISSING PAYMENT INFORMATION TYPE. PAYMENT INFORMATION REQUIRED
