Payment rate rules

Payment rate rules

• Deposit value - amount of the first payment per passenger

• Deposit percentage - When is set, deposit is calculated based on percentage from base price(without other extras/supplement). Payment simulation will use deposit value!

• Second payment value

• Deposit due - number of days after booking the deposit must be paid

• Second payment due - number of days before departure the second payment must be paid

• Last payment due - number of days before departure the last payment must be paid

Exception rules:

• If second payment due date / rest of payment due date < booking date + deposit due, then second payment due date / rest of payment due date = booking date + 2, except if departure date < booking date + 14

• If departure date < booking date + 14, then second payment due date / rest of payment due date = booking date + 1, except if departure date < booking date + 3

• If departure date < booking date + 3, then second payment due date / rest of payment due date = booking date

• • If second payment due date < deposit due date, then second payment due date = deposit due date

  • If rest of payment due date < second payment due date, then rest of payment due date = second payment due date

📝 Note: the deposit value will be higher since the Cancellation Insurance will also be included, and certain products may be set to be paid within the deposit payment.

Supporting payment rules in the past (specific date intervals)

Tourpaq supports having a company/system "history" for deposit values in different booking date intervals/seasons. When updating a booking within a specific interval (changing the passenger structure, updating products, etc) the system will recalculate the payment rates/deposit according to the corresponding deposit default value (and other rule attributes).

• Current default deposit per passenger value (and due dates) will continue to be used from field #1.

• We added a new field named "Deposit percentage", When is set, deposit is calculated based on percentage from base price(without other extras/supplement).Payment simulation will use deposit value!

• We have a setting tab named "Deposit rules" where previous deposit default values can be entered.

  • Please note! If we enter a rule today, it will automatically set the rule with today's date.

  

  
• The behavior it produces is that all the bookings made up until today INCLUDED will use the deposit value (and due dates) in the relevant rule from #3.

• Only starting from tomorrow, all bookings will use the default deposit value in field #1.

• We can have multiple rules in the list from #2 and #3. They will affect bookings made within the date intervals determined by several deposit rules, like in example #3.

📝 Note:

• We now have a "history" for the System/Company default deposit values.

This deposit value can be overwritten by:

• Agency specific deposit rules:

• Each transport can use custom payment rules that overwrite both the company setting and the agency setting.

📝 Note: We do not currently have support for previous deposit values from rules set under agency and transport
