How to Charge Additional Fees (Guest Services)

D
Written by Delta HQ Support Team

In Delta PMS, you can charge guests for additional fees other than the accommodation fee, such as:

  • Accommodation tax

  • Additional cleaning fees

  • Optional services

There are two ways to charge additional fees:


Method ①: Charge the Stored Credit Card (Instant Payment)

→ Use this method when the guest’s card information has already been registered.


Method ②: Send a Payment URL and Have the Guest Complete the Payment

→ Use this method when the guest’s card information has not been collected.


For instructions on each procedure, please refer to the support page.

Please also make sure to register the guest’s email address in the guest information section in advance.

Check the “Guest Information” section on the “Booking Details” screen.

Register the guest’s own email address.

※Please note that Booking.com’s anonymous email addresses (●●●●@guest.booking.com) cannot be used.

1. Process After Registering Guest Services (Important)

Registering a Guest Service Alone Does Not Make It a Payment Item

In Delta PMS, adding a guest service does not automatically change the payment status.

This is because guest services can include both paid and free services.

Examples:

  • Free amenities

  • Complimentary services

Therefore, in Delta PMS, the additional fee becomes a payment item only when:

“Create Invoice” is completed.


2. Create an Invoice After Registering Additional Fees

After registering additional fees (e.g., accommodation tax or paid services), please make sure to create an invoice.


How to Create an Invoice

  1. Open the Booking Details page

  2. Open the “Payment” tab

  3. Review the items in the cart

  4. Edit the amount if necessary

  5. Click “Generate Invoice”


Changing the Invoice Recipient Name

When creating an invoice, a pop-up window will appear where you can edit the invoice recipient name.

After confirming the information, click:

“Generate”


Important Notes

“Generate Invoice” does not mean “send a payment request to the guest immediately.”

Generating an invoice is an operation to:

“Register the additional fee in the system as a payment item.”

The timing of the actual payment request can be selected separately after the invoice has been created.


Important Notes When an Invoice Is Not Created

For OTA reservations, if an invoice is not created and the OTA sends an update to the reservation information (for example, a change in the number of guests), the registered additional fee may be removed.

Therefore, whenever you add a guest service, please complete the invoice creation process.


Recommended Workflow

Register Guest Service

Review cart contents in the Payment tab

Edit the amount if necessary

Generate Invoice
(Payment item is confirmed)

Charge the guest at the appropriate timing

3. Timing of the Actual Guest Payment Request

Generating an invoice does not automatically charge the guest.

The actual payment request can be performed manually by the property administrator at any preferred timing.

Additionally, payment requests can be made later as long as they are completed within 3 weeks after check-out.
