Guide - Implementing your Own Payment Gateway

This guide explains the payment flows and handling mechanisms for partners using their own payment gateway (e.g., Stripe) - outside the Gimmonix system.

Steps

Payment Types

Please refer to the Payment Guide

  1. Use the Get Payment Pref API request to identify the supplier’s available payment options (e.g., Cash, CC Internal, CC External, Pay on Arrival).
  2. Choose a Payment Flow:
    Payment Type 0 (Cash).
    Collect payment from the guest using your gateway and pay by Cash method.
    Payment Type 2 (Credit Card External).
    Collect payment via your gateway and issue a company CC/VCC to the supplier via Book by Credit Card method.

Supplier Payment Handling:

Net Suppliers: Pay invoices based on the NET price.
Gross Suppliers: Issue VCCs for individual bookings or a corporate card for automated payments.
Pay on Arrival: Manage commission settlements periodically as per the supplier agreement.

Profit Management:

  • Ensure markups for Net suppliers are well-calculated and included in the price charged to guests.
