General information
The payment handling allows
- The user to enter payments
- The Tour Operator to inform on expected, desired and effected payments
And is offered by BookingRequest/Response and a dedicated payment message, the PaymentRequest/Response
With a request one might enter one or more payments whereas the responses will inform you on all existing payments (payment positions) of the "booking" at that point in time.
In both, request and response the underlying basic structure/complex of a concrete payment is from PaymentType, with different characteristics for request and response. To enabling the handling of more than one payment with one request/response these are extended to PaymentsRequestType/PaymentsResponseType respectively.

To both, the Payments and the single Payment occurrences the attribute @Collection is attached. In first case to the payments of the booking as a whole, in the second case to the single payment elements appearing in the request/respone.
| Attribute | Values / Explanation | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| @Collection | This is used to inform on the available encashment types supported/allowed by the Tour Operator for the treated operation or the encashment type chosen by the user
|
If a Tour Operator likes to restrict the payments on a specific encashment type he can do it on Payments level; e.g.: To prohibit agency debiting he can provide "TourOperator" here, with the consequence that all payments must directly be handled between customer and Tour Operator.
In all other cases the Tour Operator can use "Mixed". The user then can decide per payment which encashment to be used, i.e. it also allows the switch of encashment types.

2. Book Within the request you can enter one or more payments With the according response one will receive back the correspondign status from Tour Operator perspective
3. Retrieve / display the booking Herewith you will receive back respectively the latest status of the (entered) payments at that time
