Airlines
Authorize at booking, capture when the ticket is issued, and release the money when it never is.
Capture on ticket issuance
Register the booking and send its PNR with each payment. Issuing the tickets and EMDs captures the authorizations for what was issued, each document whole on one authorization. An authorization is never treated as a ticket.
Ticketing time limits
A booking can carry its ticketing time limit. If it passes with nothing issued, the authorizations are voided, so the customer's money is not held for a ticket that will not exist.
Only providers that can hold an authorization
A payment that authorizes now and captures later is routed only to providers that can do that. The others are left out with the reason.
Markets and providers side by side
Approval by point of sale and by provider, the time from authorization to ticket, and what is authorized and not ticketed yet.
One contract per legal entity
A payment that names its legal entity routes only to that entity's own provider contracts.
What a payment carries
{ "type": "airline", "booking_reference": "K7PQ2M", "route": "BEG-IST-JFK", "passengers": 2, "purpose": "new_booking" }What Payshen does not do
Payshen is not a reservation or ticketing system and does not issue tickets. It stores no cards, so a charge after the authorization is gone needs a new payment.
