Parameters

You should configure the parameters for the payment method to connect to the external payment provider:

External Type Is the id used by the payment provider for this payment type

API URL Is the URL of the referenced payment provider. For testing enter "."

API Token Is provided by the referenced payement provider. For testing can be any text.

Refund Api Url Is the URL of the referenced payment provider used for refunds. For testing enter '.',

Api Token Refund Url Is provided by the referenced payment refunds provider. For testing can be any text.

Capture credit card info The credit card info will be required and sent to the referenced payment provider on the reference number creation.

Wait for payment completion Indicates whether Betterez waits for the payment provider to complete the payment or marks the transaction with Waiting For Payment status. If checked, a progress meter will begin show the elapsed waiting time. This flag is automatically checked with the IVR referenced payment types.

Time based parameters

The next configuration set the expiration time of referenced payments.

By default, and if these parameters are not set, a payment will expire at trip departure time and if it has not a trip departure time the payment will expire after 12 hours.

Sale using this kind of providers after trip departure time could have an unexpected behaviour. If you need sale after trip departure please consider set a maximum waiting time.

Cutt off time: Indicates how much time before the trip date is needed to have this payment method available. It should be major than 'Maximum waiting time' and 'Trip departure time offset' to avoid errors related to expiration times

Maximum waiting time: Indicates the time Betterez will wait for the payment to be processed. After that time the referenced payment will expire. If the calculed expiration time exceeds the trip departure, then the payment will expire in the trip departure time.

If the sale time exceeds trip departure time, then the payment will expire from that moment plus maximum waiting time.

This parameter override the default behaviour.

The image below show three differents scenarios: before the trip departure time, near trip departure time and after trip departure time.

Negative values have not effects.

Expiration time: Will be sent to the referenced payment provider on the reference number creation, in case the number created for a product does not have an expiration date.

This field is sent to facilitate the expiry of the payment by the referenced payment provider.

If MaxWaitTime is 12 hours and ExpirationTime is 10 hours. The referenced payment provider will expire the payment in 10 hours and Betterez will expire it in 12 hours

Trip departure time offset: Signed offset (after your unit is converted to seconds). Use a positive value to expire referenced payments before the first trip departure (for example, 15 minutes before departure).

Use a negative value to allow the payment window to extend after departure, still limited by Max wait time. Leave at zero to use the default departure-based timing without this offset.

This option only works if "Maximum waiting time" has been set. Negative values have not effects.
