Payment method: Deferred Payment

Modified on Wed, 23 Sep at 4:41 PM

Deferred payment is a payment method that consists of blocking inventory and prices, so that the guest later receives an email for a reservation pending confirmation and if the guest does not make the payment within the time frame set by the property (hours, days, etc.), the reservation is automatically canceled with a prior notification email.


It is a payment method enabled by our technical department and has no cost. The configuration of the parameters works like this:
  • Maximum Stay (in days).
  • Minimum lead time (in days).
  • Maximum lead time (in days).
  • Condition (rate). A different rule can be configured for each rate, i.e., one for "cg" and another for "ta".
  • Auto-cancellation (in hours). The reservation is automatically canceled if the customer has not made the payment within the hours configured in the rule.
  • Minimum amount.
  • Maximum amount.
  • Confirmation bis. Associated payment method that will be offered to the customer to make the payment. These must be active payment methods for each of the rates.
  • Devices. Whether the deferred payment is offered to all customers or only when they access through a "mobile" or "desktop" device.

  • Payment deferred: Activated on mobile with a minimum lead time of 48h, and free cancellation condition.
