Booking.com Invoice - Payment charge
Hi.
I received my monthly invoice for reservation commission. There is a item 'Payment Charge'.
What is this payment charge ?
Is there a way of avoiding it ? ie does the 'direct debit' make it go away ?
Thanks.
Everyone using bdc pay method, incurrs a payment gateway % fee for the transaction .
It's nominal around 2.3% I think
Ok. Is this a bank fee or is BDC charging me a fee for paying me !
Can 'direct debit' as they state is alternative way of payment reduce this charge ?
Thank.s
yes sort of, their 3rd party payment gateway provider charges a transfer fee, so BdC is passing this on to the Partner either partially or in full. direct debit is not related.
a direct debit is only for a pull transaction not a push. thats a general banking term and concept.
there is no way around it unless you get guest to only prepay you via your payments method setup.
most of which will incurr a transaction fee anyway, which might actually be higher if you try to do it your self, and therefore its just cheaper to get BdC to do it and pay their % fee for the transaction.
Thanks.
