You can  '''collect payments  for direct bookings at the time of the booking''' or '''send payment requests for completed bookings'''. To do so you need to activate at least one of these payment options:
*Connect one of the integrated payment processors: '''Stripe, Paypal, Authorize.Net, globalpayments, asiapay, pesopay, siampay, paydollar, Borgun, Bitpay'''.  Payments collected via an integrated payment processor will be listed in the booking.
*Credit Card Collection to only collect credit card details but not charge the card. You charge the card manually using our own service. Payments need to be entered manually to the booking.
*Offline Payments (Custom Instruction) if you require a bank transfer. Payments need to be entered manually to the booking.
'''Stripe is recommended and offers the best functionality.''' If you use Stripe you can '''automatically charge guest credit cards or virtual cards submitted from OTAs"'.

====Without Stripe====
=====Stripe and Auto payment collections via Stripe - 30% deposit at booking OR 100% if check-in less than 30 Days =====
 
'''You need to setup STRIPE Payment Gateway to use the details below.'''
 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div  class="headline-collapse" >
Step 1 - Setup Booking Rules
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE
 
*Normal Bookings - Booking Type = Confirmed with Deposit Payment 1- via payment gateway.
 
 
*Near term Bookings
**Days in Advance = 30
**Booking Type = Confirmed with Deposit Payment 2- via payment gateway
</div></div>
 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div  class="headline-collapse" >
 
Step 2 - Setup Payment Collection
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) > BOOKING ENGINE > DEPOSIT COLLECTION DIRECT BOOKINGS
*Non Payment Booking Status = Request
*Deposit Payment 1 Percentage = 30%
*Deposit Payment 2 Percentage - 100%
</div></div>
 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div  class="headline-collapse" >
 
Step 3 - Create Payment Rule
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PAYMENTS -> PAYMENT RULE
 
Create a Payment Rule to collect payments if bookings are not cancelled.
 
Payment Rule :
*Name = Enter your title - Not Cancelled (for example)
*Action = Auto
 
Payment Trigger :
*Booking Status = All not cancelled
*Any Booking Info Code = optional
*All Booking Info Codes = optional
*Exclude Booking Info Code = optional (can exclude Virtual Credit cards, find the Booking info code in the booking)
 
Payment Action :
*Funds Source = All
*Payment value adjustment = Default
*Capture = Yes - immediately charged (Capture=Yes)
*Add info code on success = add a Booking Info item to the booking on success
*Add info code on failure = add a Booking Info item to the booking on failure
 
Prevent Auto Payment :
*Prevent payment if booking status : Cancelled
*Prevent payment action : Set Manual (or Delete)
</div></div>
 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div  class="headline-collapse" >
Step 4 - Create Auto Actions
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
(Suggest 2 auto actions created, 1- add pending payment and 2 - send email to guest on successful collection of payment)
 
 
'''Add Pending payment to the booking to collect payment 30 days before arrival '''
 
{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) GUEST MANAGEMENT> AUTO ACTIONS
 
'''Auto Action #1- collect balance 30 days before check-in'''
(This auto action will add a pending payment to your bookings with the payment date 30 days before check-in)
 
'''Trigger tab:'''
 
Time :
*Trigger Event = Booking
*Trigger Time = immediate
 
Booking Source:
*Booking Source =All (for example, you can also set different rules for different channels)
 
Booking Conditions:
*Invoice Balance = Not Zero
 
'''Invoice tab:'''
 
Add a Pending Payment to the booking
*Payment Type = Percent of balance due
*Description = the text you will see in the "Charges and Payments" tab (Payment Balance)
*Status = if you use the status function add the status you want to apply to the pending payment (optional)
*Amount = 100 (balance is full price so 100% of the balance)
*Payment Rule = Not Cancelled (setup in Step 3 above)
*Payment Due = check in -30
'''Auto Action #2 - Send email to guest to confirm receipt of payment'''
 
'''Trigger tab:'''
 
Time:
*Trigger Event = Booking
*Trigger Time = Immediate
*Trigger Window = 365 day
 
Booking Conditions:
*Booking Status = All not cancelled
*Invoice Balance = Any Payment made OR Invoice Balance = Zero (payment in full)
 
'''Message tab''': For channels using the Message API, then enter the text in the Plain text box, for emails enter the text in the HTML box.
 
*Send Message = Booking API/Smart Email
 
If the "Mail & Actions" tab contains a "real" Email address the message is sent to the guests Email address. If only a masked Email address is available the message sends via the channels API messaging systems if possible.
 
If no connection to a messaging system is available the message will send to the Email address from the "Mail & Actions" tab of the Email.
 
*Email Subject - enter the subject for your Guests
 
*Plain text box - will send to channels using Message API
 
Message text :- Enter the text you wish to send to your guests include URL. Template variables can be used [[Template_Variables| see here]]
 
You can use Invoice Template variables showing the booking charges/payments.
[INVOICETABLE] will show all of the Charges/Payments.
 
*HTML box - Email will be sent
 
Email Text :- It is possible to use the same details (URL) as in the Plain Text box above. Template variables can be used [[Template_Variables| see here]]

===How can I collect outstanding payments from guests booking through my website (Direct)? ===
If you have activated [[Stripe]] and have collected the guest credit card details then you can create a Pending Payment in the booking to collect the outstanding payment at a specified date/time. See the section on Pending Payments above.


If you do not have the guest credit card details, then you can send a Payment Request link in an email so they can make a payment via the activated payment gateways. See section on Payment requests above.
