Credit Card Settlement Overview

The Stricct Travel Connector automates credit card settlement for travel bookings paid through corporate card programs. The system supports two card providers: Diners Club and FirstCard.

How Settlement Works​

The end-to-end settlement flow follows these steps:

  1. A sales order is created -- when a booking is processed in Business Central, it creates a sales order linked to the customer. If the customer has a credit card provider configured, the order is flagged for card settlement.

  2. The order is released -- once the sales order is reviewed and released, it becomes available for the card processing integration.

  3. The Azure platform picks up the order -- the integration platform detects released orders that have a credit card provider set but have not yet been sent. It collects order details including the customer's card number, booking reference, and line amounts.

  4. A settlement file is generated -- the platform creates a settlement file in the format required by the card provider (Diners or FirstCard) and submits it.

  5. The status is updated in Business Central -- after the file is sent, the integration updates each order with the sent timestamp, a sequence number for tracking, and the current processing status.

Which Orders Are Included​

An order is included in card settlement when all of the following are true:

  • The order's Credit Card Provider is set to Diners or FirstCard (inherited from the customer).
  • The order status is Released.
  • The order has not already been sent (no sent timestamp recorded).

Orders that do not meet these criteria are excluded from settlement processing automatically.
