About Advanced Folio Payment (Prepayment)

Prerequisites for Advanced Folio Payment (Prepayment)

When the Check In Prepay Rule OPERA Control is set to Advance Folio Payment and the Prepay Folio OPERA Control is active, you will be required to process prepayment for any increase in the total cost of stay .

Automatic Credit Card Prepayment

In the event that a change in stay details (nights, fixed charges, packages, number of adults or children, rate code, rate amount, discount, room type, room move ) results in an increase in the total cost of stay, OPERA Cloud will automatically process additional advance payments for reservations with credit card details available for window #1 in reservation payment details.

If the update to the reservation involves transaction codes that have been routed to a billing window with Direct bill payment or to another reservation, then the credit card payment may not be posted.

When payment is processed, an Advance Payments changes log entry with the payment details is added. For more information, see Viewing Changes Log Details.

If a payment refund is due for any reason, these payment must be processed manually via billing. For more information, see Posting Credit Card Rebates to a Reservation Account.

Note:

Auto payment processing occurs hourly.
