Payments
Once you have confirmed payment from the customer, the final step is to fulfill the basket and start the purchase of the products. Gordian charges you for all the products in the basket.
Attention
Most fulfillments are completed within 1 hour, but there are cases that may need manual intervention, such as when receiving a booking that has not been ticketed or that has an incorrect record locator. Therefore, Gordian recommends leaving a 24-hour window before confirmations.
Gordian supports two payment methods:
- Deposit: You do not need to pass card information in the fulfillment request.
-
Credit card: You must pass your company’s card information in the fulfillment request.
Important
Do not pass the customer’s card information in the fulfillment request.
