Book a property and pay later with deferred payment
Deferred payment is a feature that allows you to book pre-paid property rates without the need for immediate payment, giving you the flexibility to pay 7 days before the free cancellation date.
Deferring payment is eligible for:
- Property bookings only
- Bookings made 14 and 365 days before arrival
- Refundable rates and rates that do not require a deposit
- Expedia collect rates (Expedia takes the payment, not the property)
- Standalone and package rates
Follow these two easy steps to book a property and defer its payment.
1. Select the property rate
After finding the refundable property to book, you need to select the rate. Take into consideration that not all rates are eligible for deferring payment. Once the rate is selected, you must pick the Pay Now option.
2. During the checkout, select the option to defer payments
On the checkout page, look for the green banner for the deferred payment. Check your agency’s deferred payment balance. If your balance is too low, you can pay off other deferred payment bookings, which will add credit to your balance. To book using deferred payment, select the option to Pay Expedia later. Select the date (up to 7 days before the cancellation date) for the payment to automatically process. Click Complete booking to proceed with your booking.
Note: other payment options cannot be used when using deferred payment.
