Set up a second deposit on a rate type

How to configure the Second Deposit, setup on the Rate Type.

 

Overview

Secondary deposit rules can be setup on a Rate Type to apply any time that Rate Type is used.

Second Deposits are an optional additional Deposit rule that can be enabled.

Deposits can be setup on a Rate Type, Derived Rate Type, Rate Type Property Rules, and Rate Tables in addition to the Online Deposit rules used by the RMS Booking Engine.

The Rate Hierarchy determines which deposit rules will apply to a Reservation.

Reservations made using the RMS Booking Engine will only use the Rate Type Deposit if the Online Deposit option is set to 'Rate Deposit'.

The Second Deposit Processing utility is available to process bulk payments for a second deposit from multiple reservations using an existing CC Token or Direct Debit information.

★ Tip: The Second Deposit set on the Rate Table will only apply to Reservations created after the changes are saved or when a new Quoted Rate is generated by selecting this Rate Type on an existing Reservation.
✎ Please Note: RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. CLICK HERE to find out more.
