Agent Connect Overview
Flex Pay’s flexible payment solution (Pay Monthly) is designed to seamlessly integrate into your agent booking platform. This solution enables your agents to offer installment payments to their clients/guests.
Agent Connect User Flow
To better understand the agent connect flow, let’s follow an overview of the Flex Pay’s Agent Connect from the lens of the customer and agent interaction.
- On the Payment page of your booking site, the Agent selects the Flex Pay's Pay Monthly option.
- The Agent sends a Pay Monthly offer by email or SMS to the customer
- The customer completes the loan application on the Flex Pay site and gets approved for a loan.
- The Agent is notified in the Payment page that the customer completed the application and the trip can be booked; this means that, behind the scenes, Flex Pay is ready to pay in full for the trip via a payment token.
- The Agent books the trip and the payment and authorization is done in the background.
Agent Connect Integration Overview
To integrate Flex Pay’s Pay Monthly solution for agents on your booking platform, here is an overview of the work needed to be completed by your development team:
- Client side:
- Use the Flex Pay Agent Library to add the Pay Monthly elements to the payment options in your booking UI. For more information refer to here.
- Server side:
- Store the Flex Pay
tripId(a string value) for each reservation or booking that has used the Flex Pay option and is not yet finalized. ThistripIdallows your agent to maintain multiple Flex Pay sessions and switch smoothly between them.
- Store the Flex Pay
⚠️ Flex Pay also offers a no integration agent tool, our Agent Standalone Tool. Please reach out to your account manager for more information on this option.
