Editing a 'Credit card usage' transaction fee rule

This topic explains how to edit a Credit Card Usage transaction fee rule, and is also included in the process of creating a new transaction fee rule.

The Credit card usage transaction fee is applied when a credit card is used as the payment method in the Reservations System, in the Travel File Details page, or when issuing a receipt from the travel file.

If the Installments Fee module is enabled, with the same VAT definition as defined in this mechanism, when issuing the receipt a single transaction fee is created in the travel file for the total amount of both the credit card usage transaction fee and the installment fee from which a single tax invoice can be issued. If the fees are in different currencies, the transaction fee is amount converted to the travel file currency. All other definitions will be applied to the fee as if this were a transaction fee.

With travel agents/corporate clients that have separate installment fee terms, the credit card usage transaction fee is only applied on installments with interest.

• How

If you are in the process of creating a new transaction fee rule, skip to step 3.

1. Search for the transaction fee rule that you want to edit.

2. Click the Edit icon in the row of the transaction fee rule you want to edit.

The transaction fee rule is displayed.



3. In the Parameters section, in the Event field, select Credit Card Usage.

4. Define the transaction fee parameters.

Field	Description
From Date	The beginning of the transaction fee validity date range.
To Date	The end of the transaction fee validity date range.

More specific transaction fee rules override general transaction fee rules.

Click here for a detailed example. If you have a Credit card usage fee rule for 5 USD that applies to all dates, and a Credit card usage fee rule for 10 USD that applies during January 1-10, 2015, when receiving a credit card payment on January 5, 2015, the 10 USD transaction fee is charged.

5. If you want a tax invoice to be issued automatically when the transaction fee is added to a travel file, select Automatically issue tax invoice.

If you select this option, in the reservations system, if you cancel a receipt that was issued for a credit card payment, then any Credit Card Usage transaction fees are also deleted and the tax invoices are cancelled. This only applies if an invoice for the fees was not issued.

6. If credit cards used for payment incur different transaction fees, in the Credit Card Name field, select the credit card relevant to this transaction fee.

   If your site redirects to a payment gateway for processing credit card payments, the credit card selected by the customer for payment cannot be identified. In such a case you need to define a single Credit Card Usage transaction fee for all credit card companies.

7. If you want to apply the transaction fee to purchases made in a specific currency, in the Payment Currency field, select a currency from the drop-down list.

8. If you want to apply the transaction fee only to local or only to foreign credit cards, in the Local/Foreign field, select the relevant option from the drop-down list.

   This option is only relevant for the Credit2000V8 gateway.

9. If you want the transaction fee rule to also apply to the B2B and B2C selling channels, in the Booking Channel section, select the relevant selling channels.

10. Click Save and Exit, or continue to select the transaction fee description.
