• Virtual cards have a card number, CVC and expiry date – everything you need for payment and booking. The difference? You create a new one digitally for each payment.
Our central solution fully automates the payment process and integrates into your established booking platforms and mid/ back-office systems. Transaction information and additional accounting details on single-line-item level make it easier to allocate costs and derive payment insights. Extended payment terms also bolster cash flow.
Designed for travel service companies like TMCs, bedbanks, OTAs, tour operators, and many more. The AirPlus Travel Trade Account also offers you clearly structured collective electronic statements that display all your customized transaction details and company billing information. These digital statements make it easy to allocate booked travel services to customers and reduce your workload.
Cards can be generated through several channels such as the AirPlus Portal, integration partners or direct integration into proprietary systems.
All transactions are invoiced with a single central, clearly organized statement. Additional transaction data (such as booking and reservation numbers) saves you time allocating expenses and seamlessly links from payment to booking.
Each card number can be limited to a specific booking, and set to a specific amount, validity period, and currency. This ensures that your travel trade virtual cards are both secure and flexible, especially for your booking agents, managing multiple payments on multiple channels every day.
