Step 5 - Managing Automated Payments for Boost Bookings & Preventing automated credit card decline notifications to bookings coming in via the Rezfusion Boost

Note

If you don’t have Automated Payments activated within Escapia, you can skip this step.

If you have Automated payments activated within Escapia, you first need to exclude Boost reservations from this process per this article: http://support.homeawaysoftware.com/articles/en_US/Article/HASW-Escapia-Configuring-Automated-Payments?q=Automated%20&subdir=escapia

Open your Automated Payments dashboard (Reservations → Automated Payments)
Navigate to Automated Payment Settings
Choose 'Reservation Payment Exclusion Filters'
Add a Filter → Matching any requirements (OR) → Marketing Subcategory → check the box for "EscapiaNET - Rezfusion Boost by Bluetent"
Then click Save

Step 6 - Notify your Implementation Coordinator or Project Manager to confirm that we see your units in the API feed.

Send a message to your Implementation Coordinator or Project Manager from within your Basecamp project under the task "Connect Your Property Management System data to Rezfusion".

Congratulations, you are done!
