The Second Deposit Processing utility allows bulk processing of second deposit payments for multiple reservations using an existing credit card token (CC Token).

Overview

Deposits are payments collected to secure or confirm a reservation. Second Deposits are an optional feature that can be enabled to allow the setup and processing of a follow-up deposit after the initial deposit has been collected for a reservation.

Second Deposits can be configured on the Rate Type, Derived Rate Type, or Rate Table, with the due date based on one of the following:

• A specific number of days after the initial deposit is taken

• A set time after the reservation is created

• A certain number of days before the reservation arrival date

The Second Deposit Processing utility allows bulk processing of second deposit payments for multiple reservations using an existing credit card token (CC Token).

1. The reservation account has a debit balance

2. A valid CC Token is stored on the guest profile

3. The Credit Card Consent field on the guest profile is set to "Yes"
