Markets Currencies / Forms of Payments

Iberia accepts various FOPs (Forms of Payment) through our NDC API. Acceptance may vary depending on various conditions, such as:

• POS (Point of Sale) Country

• Type of seller/sender (IATA/ARC Accredited, Non-IATA/ARC Accredited)

• Product (e.g. Tour Operator Fares)

The same payment method must be used for all the passengers in the Order. CASH and Voucher are the only payment methods that can be combined.

BSP/ARC Cash

This FOP can only be used by accredited IATA/ARC agents. More information about this can be found here for IATA and here for ARC.

Presently, Iberia can accept this FOP, through our NDC API in the markets table included in this page.

You can also use BSP Cash and Voucher in combination (see below).

Credit Cards

Please check the markets table below for information on which credit cards Iberia accepts and in which markets.

We also recommend you check out our pages on 3-D Secure to ensure you are ready for the mandate.

Only one credit card can be accepted as the FOP. We presently do not accept multiple credit cards to pay for the same Order.

In some markets payment can be made in quotas. If and when it is available the information regarding quota payments is returned in the OfferPriceRS.

Vouchers.

Vouchers issued by Iberia can be used to pay for complete Orders in all BSP markets included in this page. Presently we are unable to accept Vouchers in ARC markets.

Currency conversion using the exchange rate of the day will be applied, should you use a Voucher issued in a currency different from that being used for the Order.

Additional information on using Vouchers as a FOP can be found here.

Voucher and BSP Cash Combination

Only available for use by IATA accredited Travel Agents (Not ARC).

If you pay using this combination, it is very important to note the following:

• The total price of the Order must be passed in the Voucher part of the Payment section of the message being used (OrderCreate or OrderChange). The Cash part must be sent as “0” (zero)

• If the Voucher no longer has any value then an error will be returned.

• If the Voucher has a value greater than zero, then the difference between the Voucher value and the Order price will be charged using BSP Cash. The amounts charged against each of the FOPs (BSP Cash and Voucher) will be returned in the OrderViewRS.

• The value of the voucher can be checked by the owner of the voucher via IBERIA.COM .

Payments combining Vouchers and Credit Card are not accepted.

Service Fee (Spanish market only)

This payment method is only available to sales made Spain and when selling a Descuento de Residente or Familia Numerosa discounted fare, and is used to report the Service Fee charged to the customer for reporting purposes to the appropriate government agency for subsidy reimbursement.

If sent for an Order for which it does not apply then it will simply be ignored, and no error or warning is returned.

This method may be used when a Voucher is being used to pay for all or some of the Order.
