To send a Credit Card Authorization Form, a few things are required.

  • An Authorization Description

  • An Authorization Amount

  • An Authorization Deadline

An Authorization Description is a description of what the traveler is authorizing use of their card to purchase.

An Authorization Amount is the amount that the traveler is authorizing you to charge with their card.

An Authorization Deadline is the deadline for how long the card information is stored in your account.


Note: Travefy's Credit Card Authorization form is PCI Compliant. This means that card information can be stored for a maximum of two years, but the CVV will disappear after 30 days, regardless of the Authorization Deadline set.
