Payments for airport staff
Use our payments module to track payments associated with badge applications.
Features:
- Flexible Payments: Payments can vary based on badge type and whether the badge is new or a renewal.
- Company-Specific Payment Options: Different companies may have different payment obligations (e.g., one company pays for badges, while another company is exempt).
- Payment Responsibility: At the start of the badge application process, if a company is required to pay, the individual initiating the application will choose whether the applicant or the signatory will be responsible for the payment.
- Itemized Charges: AirBadge supports itemized payments, meaning charges for specific elements (e.g., CHRC fees and badge fees) can be displayed separately.

Using Payments:
Once enabled, AirBadge tracks payments during a badge application workflow.
- Payment options are determined when the badge application is started.
- If required, AirBadge prompts the responsible party to pay for their badge after signing.
- AirBadge can optionally track in-person payments or the need for invoices.
Tools and Settings:
Select Tools & Settings > Payments > Badge Application Payments to review and export reporting about payments made during badge applications.
