Complete the implementation and assessment process by 30 April
Implement the Payments Clarity Package V2 feature by 30 April 2024
Dear Partner,
We're writing to remind you to implement the Payments Clarity Package V2 (payment_clarity_package_v2) feature by
30 April 2024. The Payments Clarity Package V2 offers your accommodation partners a seamless experience when they use your interface to get reservation details. If the feature is not implemented, your accommodation partners won't see the proper payment and tax breakdown information on guest reservations.
Why you should implement the Payments Clarity Package V2
To support you and adapt to evolving tax rules, we’ve developed a new way to determine and apply tax rates. From 13 May 2024, we’ll begin withholding and paying taxes directly to the tax authorities when we collect payments from guests on behalf of your properties. The Payments Clarity Package V2 feature gives your accommodation partners transparency in this process.
Key deadlines and next steps for you
To make sure the transition is smooth, please implement the Payments Clarity Package V2 by 30 April 2024 and conduct a capability assessment of the feature by 13 May 2024. To implement the Payments Clarity Package V2, please follow the
implementation guidebook from the Connectivity Hub.
Once you’ve implemented and tested the product, please contact your Partner Business Manager to schedule a capability assessment. If you don’t have a Partner Business Manager, then please
send us an email.
We’ll let the affected properties (properties classified as a hotel, motel or similar property type from Maine, New Hampshire or North Dakota) know on 30 April 2024. Properties located in other US states will continue to be responsible for calculating, collecting and paying applicable taxes to the appropriate authorities.
