Use this page for payment mode, VCC, and card data questions.

Start here when you need to:

* choose between deposit and VCC pass-through
* understand where refunds go for each payment mode
* confirm card data requirements before `pay.do`

### FAQ

#### Which payment methods does Atlas support?

The main options are **deposit** and **VCC pass-through**.

Supported options still depend on airline and ticketing channel.

### Which payment methods does Atlas support?

The main options are:

* **Deposit**
* **VCC pass-through**

Supported options still depend on airline and ticketing channel.

#### How does VCC pass-through work?

Send card details in the `pay.do` request.

Atlas passes the card data to the airline, the airline charges you directly, and Atlas deducts the technical service fee from your Atlas account.

### How does VCC pass-through work?

Send card details in the `pay.do` request.\
Atlas passes the card data to the airline.\
The airline charges you directly.\
Atlas then deducts the technical service fee from your Atlas account.

Check payment support in the search or verification response before you build the payment flow.

#### Does Atlas issue VCC cards?

No.

Atlas supports VCC pass-through only.

You provide the card details in `pay.do`.

### Does Atlas issue VCC cards?

No.\
Atlas supports VCC pass-through only.

You provide the card details in `pay.do`.

#### Where do refunds go for each payment mode?

For **VCC**, refunded funds usually return to the original card.

For **deposit**, Atlas credits your balance after airline funds are received.

### Where do refunds go for each payment mode?

For **VCC**, refunded funds usually return to the original card.\
For **deposit**, Atlas credits your balance after airline funds are received.

#### When should we use deposit instead of VCC?

Use deposit when you want a simpler payment path or when VCC is not supported for the airline, order, or mixed-channel itinerary.

Deposit is also the fallback path in some payment-risk or split-payment scenarios.

### Why is VCC pass-through unavailable on some mixed-airline bookings?

Atlas does not support multiple VCCs in one `pay.do` request.

When outbound and inbound segments require different ticketing channels, two separate payments may be needed.\
If Atlas cannot support that split in one payment flow, the payment mode falls back to **deposit**.

### When is cardholder address data required?

Some airlines require full billing address details.\
Use the matrix below when you send VCC or card-based payments.

Cardholder country, province, city, postcode and address are required only for a select few airlines as per the table provided below:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/troubleshooting-and-support/faqs/atlas-api-payments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
