PayCertify Gateway™ has some built-in features for the Airline and Travel industries. Whenever submitting a transaction for those industries, you can pass additional information which will both populate on our Gateway’s user interface and also on the customer’s credit card statement, besides sending additional data to the processors which help on reconciliation, dispute, risk, fraud mitigation and chargeback representment processes. This data includes:

  • Passenger name and ticket details such as ticket number, issuing city, carrier and date;
  • Restricted ticket indicators (for tickets that cannot be refunded);
  • Leg information such as carrier code, service class, departure and destination airports and fares;

For each passenger you want to use the reporting capabilities, you should be submitting an object under the passenger_transport field. As for each leg, you should be submitting information under the passenger record, even if all passengers are doing the same itinerary.

Capture, void and refunds for Airline & Travel Data

POST https://gateway-api.paycertify.com/api/transactions/{transaction_id}/capture
POST https://gateway-api.paycertify.com/api/transactions/{transaction_id}/void
POST https://gateway-api.paycertify.com/api/transactions/{transaction_id}/refund

For Airline & Travel, whenever running a capture, void or refund event, you need to reference which passenger you are authorizing / voiding / refunding. In order to do that, whenever running an auth you need to store the passenger IDs sent back on the auth or sale event. You can run any of these events for multiple passenger at a time, as long as you reference the proper amounts / passenger_id pairs.
