The Form of Payment (FOP) POST request adds payment details to a workbench. To apply the payment information to one or more offers, FOP must be followed with Payment.

The PUT and DEL endpoints above modify or delete either an FOP added in the current workbench session or a stored FOP on a booking. Include the workbench identifier and the form of payment identifier in the endpoint, per the example below. The PUT request sends any of the payloads detailed here.

PUT or DEL https://api.travelport.com/11/air/payment/reservationworkbench/cfa7a3a6-fefa-47e7-87a7-5c5cbde146cf/formofpayment/formOfPayment_1

For GDS only, FOP can be stored with a booking and charged later; FOP is required during ticketing if not sent during booking. FOP is not stored for a held NDC booking and should be sent only at time of ticketing.

Add Multiple Forms of Payment (GDS only)

For GDS only, you can add up to two FOP in either the booking or ticketing workflow by sending a Form of Payment request for each FOP. At ticketing you must send a separate Add Payment request for each FOP. The additional FOP can be any supported form of payment. Multiple FOP are supported only for bookings with a single passenger.

Cash and credit card FOPs are supported for both GDS and NDC. Agent invoice and non-standard credit card FOPs are supported for GDS only.
