No Show

Merchant Initiated Transaction

A no-show is applicable when the merchant and the cardholder have an agreement for a purchase, but the cardholder does not meet the terms of the agreement.
It is typically used in hotels and motels for a single-night stay. A guaranteed reservation ensures that the reservation will be honoured and allows a merchant to perform a no-show transaction to charge the cardholder a penalty according to the merchant’s cancellation policy.

When creating a No-Show Order, the merchant must provide the following details:

  • Advance booking charge transaction information
  • No-show penalty amount
  • Total transaction amount

If the payer meets the conditions defined for a no-show, the merchant may proceed to charge the remaining balance. If not, the merchant can choose to charge only the no-show penalty, which is a fixed amount agreed upon in advance between the payer and the merchant.

Merchants can manage no show order from portal.

A No-Show Order includes key details such as:

  • The no-show amount, and
  • The no-show time, as agreed upon by both the payer and the merchant.

While the no-show time serves as the reference point, the merchant retains the ability to initiate the no-show charge even before the specified time, if required.

.

To trigger no show, the merchant will have a button on the portal. Merchant can choose to not take any penalty charges and cancel the unscheduled.

When the “Trigger No Show” option is selected, a confirmation pop-up is displayed showing the specified no-show penalty amount.

Upon confirmation, the system will proceed to charge the payer the defined no-show penalty.

If case the Payer does not qualify for a no show penalty, the can charge the remaining amount by selecting the trigger next from manage unscheduled dropdown.
