Balance chasing eats inbound time
Customers ringing to ask what's outstanding, or to pay a balance over the phone, is one of the biggest finance time-sinks in travel.

ConnectedBalances, history and scheduled-payment approval all run against the same booking-level ledger the back office reads, so the customer view stays in sync.
Balance chasing, scheduled-payment approvals and transaction queries all land back in the inbox and on the phone. The customer wants a single place to manage their booking payments; the back office wants the time back.
Customers ringing to ask what's outstanding, or to pay a balance over the phone, is one of the biggest finance time-sinks in travel.
Customers receiving emails for every scheduled instalment is friction — and a missed approval cascades into manual chase work.
A bare payment link asks the customer for money without showing the booking, the breakdown or what they have already paid.
The portal carries the same booking-level picture finance reads — outstanding balance, transactions, scheduled payments — into a self-serve customer view.
Customers log in with their booking reference and the email used at booking. Or — for emails the operator sends — a magic-link URL with a one-time auth token drops the customer straight into their booking, no typing required.
The customer sees what they have paid, what remains, what is scheduled, and the supplier and traveller context — same data the back office sees, presented for the customer. Multi-currency displays render in the booking's currency.
The customer can pay the balance through embedded checkout — card or open banking — and approve scheduled payments one at a time or all at once. Each approved payment runs against the existing schedule without re-engaging the customer for future instalments.
Every payment and approval through the portal updates the booking record, sends the customer a receipt and writes the evidence trail back to the same ledger finance reconciles against. No double-entry, no separate portal data store.
The portal is the customer's view of their own booking. Everything they need to manage payments themselves — and nothing they do not need to see.
What is left to pay, calculated against scheduled payments and completed transactions.
Every payment made against the booking, with date, amount and status.
Future-dated instalments awaiting approval, with one-click approve.
Display in the booking currency — pence-accurate values, locale formatting.
The customer payment portal lifts collection efficiency, reduces back-office inbound time and keeps the customer journey branded and on-platform.
Customers self-serve balance payments and approvals instead of calling.
A clear self-serve path lifts on-time balance and instalment collection.
Hosted under the operator's brand — not a third-party processor surface.
