The payment method required to confirm a reservation is configured by the hotelier for a specific rate.

Some forms of payment require a redirect to a 3rd party site. These payment types are only supported in the SynXis booking applications, not in the Create or Modify Reservation APIs. If one of these payment types exists on a reservation then the details are included in the Retrieve Reservation response API.

The table below indicates which payment methods are supported in the Request and Response messages.

*Hotel Setup required

Additional information regarding payment methods is provided in the following APIs:

• Hotel Content Identifies the Payment Methods supported by the hotel.

• Hotel Availability Identifies the Payment method requirements for a rate.
