Posting a Guest Payment
How to collect payment from a Guest and how to return a refund to the guest.
Overview
Payment Collection Flow
The payments path of the Reservations API allows you to post a payment to a reservation for immediate or future processing. This document describes posting a payment for all of Guesty's supported payment processors.
Auto Payments Deactivation
Please be aware that if you make any manual payment modifications, whether through the API or UI, the Auto Payments feature for your reservation will be turned off. This means that existing payments won't be adjusted, and no new payments will be generated to accommodate the change.
The reason for this is that the feature assumes that your manual intervention is a request to handle the reservation's financials and payments yourself, giving you complete control over the remaining payment actions in the scenario at hand. Therefore, it is recommended that you review your upcoming payments and adjust or cancel them as needed.
