Achieve several cost and efficiency benefits when supplying detailed airline itinerary data. You can submit these additional details in the authorization or settlement requests, depending on when your booking system generates the ticket number.
Benefits
Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Reduced interchange fees | If you are an airline merchant you can qualify for lower interchange fees on transactions by providing airline-specific data, such as flight details, ticket numbers, and passenger information. Card networks often offer lower rates for transactions with enhanced data, reducing processing costs. |
| Enhanced fraud detection | Detailed transaction data allows card networks to better authenticate purchases, reducing fraud and chargeback rates. This is especially important for high-ticket airline transactions, where fraud prevention is critical. |
| Improved dispute management | With comprehensive transaction details, card networks can better handle and resolve disputes. This reduces the time and effort you spend managing chargebacks and can lead to faster resolutions. |
| Increased customer trust and satisfaction | Providing enhanced data improves transaction transparency, giving customers more confidence in their purchases. It also leads to more accurate transaction records on your customer's statements, minimizing confusion or disputes. |
| Compliance with industry standards | Card networks increasingly require detailed data in specific industries, like airlines, to maintain compliance with industry standards and processing requirements. |
