For voucher payments to be reflected in your PMS at the time of purchase, VoucherCart uses a nominated account in OPERA to store these payments. We recommend creating a dedicated house posting account specifically for this purpose. This keeps payments received for gift voucher purchases separate from other payments you may receive, which also helps simplify reporting.

For information on creating a house posting account in OPERA Cloud see: Create house pasting accounts

Once you have either created the account or have an existing account you would like to use, make a note of the Confirmation Number, as this will be needed in the next steps.

To use the Payment at Purchase feature, a single master property must be designated to record all sales. All sales processed through your VoucherCart account will be allocated to this property, providing a centralised location for transaction recording and reconciliation.

When a customer purchases a voucher, gift card, membership, or ticket from your VoucherCart account, VoucherCart will use this transaction code to post the charge to your nominated house posting account. This will reflect the full price of the gift voucher before any discounts.

The payment method is used to record the purchase payment in your nominated posting account. This payment will reflect the same amount you have received from your customer for the purchase.

If you are running a campaign that discounts the sale of a gift voucher, gift card, membership, or ticket, VoucherCart will use this transaction code to post a negative charge for the discounted amount. This enables you to easily identify purchases that were discounted at the point of sale. It also ensures the discount is correctly balanced against the amount paid by the customer, helping to maintain accurate reconciliation between your VoucherCart account, payment service provider, and OPERA.
