    Information

    Deposits are an amount of money taken to secure or confirm a reservation.

    Second Deposits are an optional extra deposit taken separately to any initial deposit.

    Second Deposits can be setup on the Rate Type, Derived Rate Type or Rate Table with a due date as a set period of time after the initial deposit, after the reservation has been created or before the reservation arrival date.

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

    Reservations will only be included in results on the Second Deposit Processing utility if the Reservation Account is in debit, there is a valid CC Token on the Guest Profile and the CC Consent field is set to 'Yes' on the Guest Profile.



    Users will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
