Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), Travel Management Companies (TMCs) and Online Booking Platforms (OBPs)

TF.Pay offers a standardised, end-to-end, simple and cost effective way to manage the complex process of paying travel suppliers having a variety of payment systems and currency requirements across the globe.

Airlines, Hotel and Rail Companies

TF.Pay enables airlines, hotel and rail companies having a direct connect channel but unable to support the standard Form of Payment (FOP) to manage online payments from consumers and agents, and settle with other travel suppliers.

TF.Pay simplifies the payment process of bookings by minimising unnecessary steps in your operation that often result in errors. TF.Pay not only integrates with the world’s leading virtual payment card providers, such as Wirecard AG, Air Plus and American Express vPayment but also supports ‘single use cards’ in multiple currencies for both debit and credit card types. TF.Pay enables you to benefit from our 99% success rate of bookings and avoid issues, such as 3-D secure. In addition to this, we rapidly increase the number of credit deposit accounts with airlines and rail operators to further widen the scope of available payment options. TF.Pay is flexible to meet your needs by offering 3 ways to set up and pay for transactions:

• Deposit Account that enables to draw on funds held on deposit;

• Merchant that processes the Form of Payment (FOP) as a merchant;

• BillBack/Credit that supports bill back with credit cards such as Air Plus and American Express.

TF.Pay records booking information with detailed transaction details, automatically reconciles the payment method used, and incorporates all information into online reports.

Step 1: Agreement

In order to discuss and have a TF.Pay Agreement in place please contact our Sales Team at: sales@travelfusion.com.

Step 2: Profile Setup

Once the agreement is signed our Operation Team will set up your company’s profile (branch configuration and suppliers) according to your requirements. Please view the suppliers we support by visiting: http://www.travelfusion.com/supplier-list

Step 3: Select TF.Pay Execution Methods

Option 1: TF.Prepaid

This option enables having a deposit account with Travelfusion with the following considerations.

Option 2: TF.Merchant

In this option you allow Travelfusion to be the merchant for either the full transaction or just the booking fee portion with the following considerations.

Option 3: BillBack/Credit

In this option bookings are made via a Corporate (BillBack) Account using an existing corporate card you provide. The other option is to authorize Travelfusion to make an introduction to our corporate card providers (e.g. Airplus and American Express) to select a corporate card to be used. Once the account is in place bookings can be made. Further configuration would be required if one of the following Travelfusion Payment Services are also selected:

• Bookings on suppliers where Travelfusion sets up a credit account:  This enables the use of a corporate card while Travelfusion acts as a merchant and pays the suppliers directly.

• Enhanced MI and support for Airplus and BTA: Travelfusion already supports both AirPlus (AIDA) and American Express (vPayment) and sending rich management information to these card providers. If you wish to see the detailed reporting on your corporate card statements then please select this service.

Please note that you are able to mix both options depending on the booked suppliers.

Contact us should you decide to select TF.Pay BillBack/Credit method for further details.

Special Notes

• Communication: It is important that we work closely together and have a constant communication hence please provide us with the contact details of the person at your organization who is responsible for managing your billing and Travelfusion account and whom our team can contact when needed.

• Monitoring: Travelfusion monitors the live traffic and the state of your account, when the TF.Prepaid method is used. Our system of automated alerts enables us to flag any bottlenecks preventing you from booking. We also monitor your account and will alert you in the event it falls into the red zone.

• Access: Travelfusion offers you access to your bookings in the Booking Admin at: admin. travelfusion.com. We also provide Booking Confirmation Emails that are sent out, on behalf of each supplier from the contact email address as you specified in the ProcessTerms request. Please note that some suppliers may include the payment details (last 4 digits of the credit card, cardholder name, etc.) in the booking confirmation email they send to the end users. For this reason, many of our customers prefer to submit their own corporate email address to be the contact for bookings made under the Prepaid method, which we can support in our API.

• Changes, Cancellations and Refunds: It is your responsibility to manage changes and cancellations directly with your suppliers regardless what payment method is used. Refunds are normally reimbursed to the original method of payment and will automatically appear as a credit on your account. We provide support on a case-by-case basis in the event that a refund to the end-user is needed.
