Build the price

  1. Choose the trip currency.
  2. Enter the base price per person.
  3. Add a single supplement if single occupancy costs more.
  4. Add room upgrades and extras with clear traveler-facing names. Link an extra to a segment when it belongs to one.
  5. Check the total for the default room and for each upgrade.

The included room type is part of the base price. Do not list it as an upgrade.

Turn on payment collection

  1. Turn on Enable portal payment collection. Join requests must be on for the trip.
  2. Turn on Collect before confirmation to charge at booking, or leave it off to charge after the trip is confirmed.
  3. Under Payment provider, keep Organization default or choose Specific provider.

Choose the amount and schedule

Under Amount to collect, choose one model:

Model Fields
Full trip amount Due date
Deposit per person Deposit per person and Balance due days before trip
Split remaining balance into installments Installments (up to 24) and Final due days before trip
Custom schedule (per person) Fixed rows first; the last row collects the remaining balance

Due dates can be a fixed date or a number of days before departure. Select Save schedule.

A sale payment schedule with amounts, due dates, and payment states
Each row shows the amount due, the due date, the paid amount, and the remaining amount.

Changing the trip schedule applies to new sales. To update an existing sale, open it in Finance → Sales and use the reapply-schedule action.

Test it

  1. Publish the trip.
  2. Submit a test join request and complete the payment in the provider’s sandbox.
  3. Check the sale in Finance → Sales.

Travelers see the correct price and can pay through your provider according to the schedule.
