How to check the status of a payment from NightsBridge

A list of payment transactions processed via NightsBridge Pay, along with the status of each transaction is available on NightsBridge.

The transaction status helps you see if the payment was successful or not. It also helps you track when the payment was done.

We pay out transactions 2 days from the date the payment was processed.

Transactions processed on:

  • Monday - paid on Wednesday.
  • Tuesday - paid on Thursday.
  • Wednesday - paid on Friday.
  • Thursday and Friday - paid on Monday.
  • Saturday - paid on Monday.
  • Sunday - paid on Tuesday.

We pay from our Netcash account. If you bank with another bank, it may take a few days to clear in your bank account.

Status definitions

There is a process that happens when a transaction is successful.

Here is the process a successful transaction goes through before it is paid over to your bank account:

StatusDefinition
Waiting on Authorisation
This is the default status for every successful transaction. This status means we are waiting to add the payment to the next payment batch into your bank account. Please keep track of transactions on the 'Waiting' status. This transaction could update to a 'Hold' status and is not guaranteed to be paid into your bank account.
AuthorisedThe payment has been included in the next payment batch to your bank account. 
Paid
The funds have been paid to your bank account.

Other status definitions

StatusDefinition
HoldThe payment is on hold. This could be due to a high-value transaction, a transaction where documents are required to authorise the transaction, or if the booking that was cancelled via the booking channel or manually by the property.
DisputedThis means the cardholder has disputed the transaction with their bank. This could indicate that the cardholder is not the person who made the booking.
ReversedThe reversal was processed. With the exception of DPO (Direct Pay Online), all other payment gateways are able to process reversals directly via NightsBridge.
No StatusThis could indicate a number of issues:
  • You have entered credit card details by sending a credit card link to your guest or manually on the credit card  link, but do not have a payment gateway connected to NightsBridge.
  • The transaction was unsuccessful.Tutorials explaining the error messages displayed for failed transactions are available for NightsBridge Pay and alternative payment gateways.
  • You use an alternative gateway - only the 'Success?' message will display.

Using an alternative payment gateway?

  • Payments done via NightsBridge Pay can be tracked via the Payments page on NightsBridge.
