Migrate from Barclaycard ePDQ

ePDQ has been retired. Replace it with payments built for travel.

Barclaycard withdrew the ePDQ platform on 31 March 2026 — the hosted payment pages, the e-Terminal your staff keyed phone payments into, and the DirectLink API behind integrated checkouts. If you are still choosing its replacement, every ePDQ flow has a direct felloh equivalent — and the move is a chance to shift phone payments onto secure links, shrink your PCI burden and reconcile per booking instead of per statement.

Why teams move

Why travel finance teams leave Barclaycard ePDQ.

The Barclaycard ePDQ stack does its job, but the operational picture it produces is rarely shaped for travel. felloh keeps payments, refunds, settlement, trust evidence and supplier disbursements connected to the same booking record from day one.

The deadline has already passed

ePDQ was withdrawn on 31 March 2026, so this is no longer a planning exercise — it is a replacement decision. felloh runs a phased migration with both stacks in parallel, so web and phone payments keep flowing while you cut over brand by brand.

Phone payments stop being a liability

The e-Terminal meant staff hearing and keying card details, with the fraud liability sitting on you. felloh replaces keyed MOTO with secure payment links the customer completes themselves — 3D Secure authentication typically shifts chargeback liability to the issuer, and your team never touches card data.

The booking finally has a record

ePDQ reported at transaction level and finance rebuilt the booking picture from statements. In felloh, every payment, refund and settlement attaches to the booking — finance, customer support and dispute teams read from the same record.

Travel compliance lives in the same ledger

ATOL Trust positions, protected funds and trustee reporting attach to the booking automatically. The evidence pack for audits, trustees and acquirers comes from the record your team already reads.

Concept mapping

Barclaycard ePDQ → felloh, side by side.

Most Barclaycard ePDQ concepts map directly. A few — bookings, refund authorisation, scheduled payments — are felloh-specific because travel demands them.

Barclaycard ePDQ felloh Note
ePDQ Essential (hosted page) Payment Links + hosted checkout Redirect-to-pay becomes a booking-aware link with the finance trail attached.
ePDQ Extra Plus / DirectLink Ecommerce Sessions + REST API Integrated checkouts move to modern JSON APIs and SDKs with per-event webhooks.
e-Terminal (MOTO) Virtual terminal + pay-by-link Keyed payments where you need them; secure links where you don’t.
Alias Manager (stored cards) Automatic tokenisation Network tokens keep cards current through reissue — no alias plumbing to maintain.
Smartpay Checkout / FlexCheckout Embedded checkout Booking-aware checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay support.
Back-office reports Per-booking settlement view Settlement unpacks to per-booking fees, refunds and chargebacks automatically.
What changes

Three shifts that matter day one.

You can map most of Barclaycard ePDQ onto felloh directly. These are the differences travel teams actually feel during cutover — and after.

MOT

Phone payments move to secure links

Instead of staff keying card details into the e-Terminal, you send a payment link tied to the booking. The customer authenticates with 3D Secure, liability typically shifts to the issuer, and PCI scope shrinks.

BKG

Payments attach to bookings

The booking is a typed record that every payment, refund and settlement attaches to. The link between a transaction and a trip stops living in spreadsheets.

RCN

Reconciliation runs automatically

Settlement files unpack to per-booking fees, refunds and chargebacks. Bank transfers match against bookings without manual reference chasing.

The new shape

A booking, a payment, a refund.

The felloh API is built around the booking. The same record carries the customer, the supplier obligation, the payment trail and the trust position — so finance, customer support and dispute teams all read from one place.

What you gain

What felloh adds that Barclaycard ePDQ doesn't.

The travel-specific layer comes built in. ATOL Trust, supplier disbursements, scheduled instalments, two-stage refund authorisation and automatic reconciliation — all live against the same booking record.

Migration plan

A four-phase rollout — run both stacks in parallel.

Cutover is reversible at every step. Move data and flows brand by brand, with parallel processing while you confirm acceptance and settlement timing match your existing baseline.

01

Setup & sandbox

Provision sandbox credentials, wire SDKs into a non-production environment and validate authentication, webhook signing and a sample booking-payment flow.

02

Data migration

Move customer, booking, beneficiary and card-token records across. felloh imports existing card tokens directly from your current acquirer where scheme token-portability is supported, so customers do not need to re-enter card details for live bookings.

03

Flow migration

Move payment collection, refund, settlement and reporting flows brand by brand. Run both stacks in parallel so cutover is reversible at every step.

04

Cutover & decommission

Switch live volume across, monitor acceptance and settlement timing against your existing baseline, then decommission the legacy integration on a schedule that suits the dispute window.
