Overview

Commitment to pay when there is no amount due is the process taking place when one or several Offer/Orders items have been proposed by the airline and the seller wants to commit to them while no payment is requested since their price and/or amount due is valued at zero.

This process takes place when there is an unpaid OrderItem in the existing Order and this OrderItem has a zero value. It can then happen during:

a prime booking flow,
or a change to an Order resulting in new OrderItem(s).

When committing for a zero value Offer/Order Item, the seller should indicate this by using the following Payment Method

Code snippet for use in RQ messages

	<Commitment>
		<CommitmentInd>true</CommitmentInd>
	</Commitment>
</PaymentMethod>

One or more zero amount Order Items and one or more Order items with the payable amount are committed with two payment transactions

This option requires separate payments/commitments, hence it can be done in two different transaction or in the same transaction with multiple form of payments.

Example for separate transactions: One transaction for commitment to zero value items and one transaction for payment of the value item.

Example below for same transaction with multiple form of payments:
