PTechHotelInfo Type

Contains additional information required for the Hotel/Lodging industry.

Remarks

This type is used in both authorizations and detail records when processing transactions in the hotel/lodging industry type. At minimum, you should pass the expected Duration of stay, ArrivalDate, expected DepartureDate, and SaleCode. You may pass the ExtraChargeAmount and ExtraChargesCode in the authorization, but those are normally not known until settlement. To process a reservation or any other transaction where the customer and his card are not physically present, set the PreferredCustomer field to True;. This will indicate to Paymentech that the transaction is a card-not-present authorization (PreferredCustomer must be set to False for normal card-present transaction processing).
