Expedia TAAP has added new payment tools to the B2B agent platform based on direct feedback from travel advisors globally, designed to allow agents to better serve their clients while boosting revenue and operating more efficiently.

These Expedia Travel Agent Affiliate Program (TAAP) updates include tools that simplify trip management, expand payment flexibility and offer new ways to increase revenue.

Among the latest Expedia TAAP additions are enhanced deferred payment capabilities, a new bank transfer payment option (currently only available in select European countries) and the expanded rollout of the agency service charge feature.

Agents now have more control and flexibility within the platform.

Agents can now have more control and flexibility to manage ‘buy now, pay later’ booking options with the ability to defer payment for trips up to 365 days in advance.

Expedia TAAP’s new Hard Change functionality for deferred payment bookings allows key post-booking changes directly within the platform, eliminating the need to cancel and rebook.

Aussie advisors can also take advantage of the agency service charge feature to apply a discretionary fee of up to 30 per cent of the total lodging booking value within the platform.
