Airlines

Boarding tax and ticket number

Cielo offers a special feature that allows airlines to charge the boarding tax separately from the cost of the ticket. When the shopper purchases the ticket in installments, the boarding tax is fully included in the first installment.

ℹ️

Important

In the API, the boarding tax is represented by the parameter Payment.ServiceTaxAmount, exclusive to airlines. See the example request in the Creating a Credit Transaction.

In addition, Cielo recommends sending the ticket number in the parameter **Payment.AirlineData.TicketNumber**.

In the credit card request, both parameters will look like the example below:

{
    (...)
    "Payment": {
      (...)
      "ServiceTaxAmount": 0,
      "AirlineData": {
        "TicketNumber": "AR988983"
      }
    }
  }

Fraud analysis for airlines

Cielo recommends that airlines integrate with Antifraude to minimize the risks of fraud and chargeback. Fraud analysis can take place before or after authorization of the transaction, according to the rules established by the merchant.

Integration with Antifraude is done through the transactional flow itself, in the same transaction creation request or the merchant can purchase Antifraude separately. See more in Fraud Analysis.
