As an enhancement to the safety of your transactions, you can create a temporary, unique 16-digit code for token exchange with your supplier. This article will cover:
- How to create unique authorization codes (applicable only for specific conditions)
- How to add trusted suppliers (applicable to ALL transactions relating to the supplier)
Once you have configured authorizations, the exchange of token and object, and balance changes/deductions will take place automatically.
This feature is currently only available for our Demand Partner account.
Create individual authorization codes
You can create individual authorisation codes, usually used for authorisation for specific bookings, from specific suppliers.
1. Click Balance (1), then Authorisation (2)
2. Then Code (3) and Create Code (4)
There will be a pop-up to input the details of your exchange. Here are the details that you would need to input, following steps 1 to 9:
(1) Search the Partner or Property
(2) & (5) Here is where you can input the range for authorization. Select (2A) to set an unlimited amount.
(3) & (4) Select the currency to generate
(6) & (7) Set the check-in and check-out dates
(8) Set the expiry of the authorization code. The range available is between 30 seconds to 15 minutes, and once the code has expired, it cannot be used.
(9) Click to generate the authorization code
