Transferring Credit Card Payments with Surcharges

When the Credit Card Transaction Surcharge OPERA Control is active, an additional amount is calculated and posted to cover the costs associated with accepting credit card charges. The surcharge amount posts to the guest ledger using the transaction code defined by the Default Surcharge Transaction Code OPERA Control.

You can transfer deposits and reservation account settlements made by credit cards with surcharges to other reservations. When doing so, the transfer moves only the nett credit card payment, not the surcharge.

Example

A guest makes a $1000.00 reservation deposit using a credit card with a 10% surcharge applicable. The deposit payment is recorded as $1100.00. The $100.00 credit card surcharge posts to the guest ledger. Afterwards, the available deposit amount on the reservation shows as $1000.00.
