What was the issue?

When a property configured specific card types in Online Options (for example, Visa and Mastercard only), the new Booking Engine was not respecting that configuration for RMS Vault payments. Guests could still complete a booking using a card type that wasn't assigned - such as Amex or Diners - bypassing the intended payment restrictions entirely.

What's been fixed?

The Booking Engine now correctly validates card types against your Online Options configuration at the point of payment. Only card types that have been assigned to the IBE will be accepted. If a guest enters a card type that isn't configured, the card field will be flagged and they won't be able to proceed with that card.

This applies to both desktop and mobile.

What does this mean for your guests?

The checkout experience remains smooth for guests using an accepted card - they'll see clear visual confirmation that their card is valid. Guests using an unsupported card type will be prompted to use an accepted alternative before completing their booking.

Do you need to do anything?

No action is required. Just make sure your accepted card types are correctly configured in Online Options - the Booking Engine will handle the rest.
