Wallet and Credit

PREPAID WALLET MODEL

Control available balance through a transaction-level ledger.

Agents or business clients fund their accounts in advance and use the available balance for bookings and services.

  • Deposit request and approval
  • Available and reserved balance
  • Booking deductions and reversals
  • Adjustments with approval
  • Transaction-level ledger history
  • Statements and balance reports
CREDIT ACCOUNT MODEL

Manage approved exposure with clear limits and controls.

Eligible agencies or corporate clients transact against approved credit with monitored usage and repayment terms.

  • Approved credit limit
  • Available and utilized exposure
  • Payment terms and due dates
  • Threshold alerts and account blocks
  • Supervisor approval workflow
  • Ageing and collection reporting
Transaction State Management

Know exactly what happened at every payment stage.

A financial transaction should never be treated as simply successful or failed. The platform needs precise states, references, recovery logic, and accounting impact.

STATE-01

Initiated

A unique reference is created before the payment or wallet action begins.

STATE-02

Authorized

The gateway, bank, wallet, or credit system confirms funds or exposure.

STATE-03

Captured or Posted

The amount is charged, deducted, or posted into the financial ledger.

STATE-04

Payment Success, Booking Pending

The transaction succeeds but the reservation, ticket, or voucher remains uncertain.

STATE-05

Refund Pending

A refund is approved but supplier, gateway, bank, or internal settlement is incomplete.

STATE-06

Reconciliation Exception

Platform, gateway, bank, supplier, wallet, or ledger values do not match.

Supplier Settlement

Connect booking value with supplier obligations.

Travel finance must separate selling price, supplier cost, margin, fees, taxes, payment charges, and final settlement.

01

Supplier Cost Capture

Store net cost, taxes, charges, booking reference, and settlement currency.

RECORD
02

Payable Calculation

Calculate the final obligation after refund, void, adjustment, or cancellation.

Common Questions

Planning a payment and settlement system.

The right structure depends on booking channels, payment methods, account models, supplier obligations, approvals, and accounting requirements.

Can the platform support both card payments and agent wallets?

Yes. It can support payment gateways, prepaid wallets, approved credit, bank deposits, invoices, local payment methods, and mixed account models.

How are duplicate payments prevented?

Unique payment intents, transaction references, callback validation, idempotent processing, and booking-state checks help prevent duplicate charges or deductions.

Can refunds be tracked from supplier to customer?

Yes. Supplier refund status, cancellation fee, gateway reversal, wallet credit, customer payment, approval, and final settlement can be connected.

Can the system manage agent credit limits?

Yes. Credit limits, exposure, usage, due dates, approvals, account blocks, and ageing reports can be configured and monitored.

Can the platform integrate with accounting systems?

Yes. Booking, invoice, payment, refund, settlement, supplier, customer, agent, and ledger data can be exchanged with supported accounting or ERP systems.
