Leading travel payments provider TravelPay and travel management system provider Tramada have partnered to offer improved and reliable integrated payment functionality to travel agencies.

With Tramada and TravelPay, travel agents now have access to a no cost, newer, better and more reliable payment option from a trusted and experienced travel industry provider.

Tramada travel agents can now process credit card payments using TravelPay’s innovative and popular solution all from within Tramada and with payments being automatically receipted, providing convenience and productivity savings. In addition, a new Tramada ‘Pay Now’ link can be added to Tramada invoice templates so the agents’ customers can easily and securely pay online 24/7. The payment is processed by TravelPay and is automatically receipted in Tramada.

With a sales team boasting over 100 years of travel industry experience and a secure, Level 1 PCI DSS solution, TravelPay now introduces a new level of expertise and functionality to Tramada travel agents. Agents can accept all cards – MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Diners Club – at completely no cost to them and without needing their own merchant accounts.

As the first and largest approved provider for AFTA’s Chargeback Scheme (ACS), TravelPay gives travel agents the choice to maximise office efficiency with all the protections provided by ACS.

What’s more, TravelPay has partnered with Qantas Business Rewards to reward travel agencies for simply getting paid. Agencies earn 1 Qantas Point for every $20 of eligible payments transacted using TravelPay which can quickly add up.

Tramada agents can easily switch from their existing payment gateway to TravelPay, without losing access to their customers’ existing credit cards details already stored in Tramada.

Cath Bisaro, TravelPay National Sales Manager said: “TravelPay is excited to provide improved choice, functionality and productivity savings to our existing travel agents and agents using Tramada’s industry leading system. We love helping agents make payments easier and this integration does just that. TravelPay has no transaction, gateway or merchant fees to the agent and processing credit card payments can be done directly from within the Tramada mid-office system, or by the customer online, with all details automatically receipted into Tramada.”

“Agents can accept all credit cards at no cost with TravelPay without having to have their own merchant facility. This integration is a real game changer and with all payments being processed automatically in Tramada, agents will enjoy exceptional convenience and increased productivity,” says Cath.

Ash Ghasemi, Head of Operations at CruiseAway by Dreamlines said, “It’s great to now have this new and improved TravelPay integrated option within Tramada. TravelPay has been a game changer for us and we have loved the service from their experienced team. We are very excited to see this new gateway option in place. In an environment as dynamic as travel industry, and with hundreds of financial transactions, the ‘Pay Now’ invoice payment solution will be just what we need to optimise our processes and be more efficient.”
