Guest Room Billing
Guest Room Billing is used only in visitor guest rooms. Using this billing
method, Internet access charges appear on the Service Detail Record (SDR)
log for the room generated by YesWare. Guest Room Billing can be integrated
with the facility Property Management System (PMS) so that YesWare service
charges appear as an additional "room charge" on the guest room bill.
Credit-Card Billing
Credit-Card Billing can be used in any YesWare service area. Using this
billing method, YesWare Internet access charges appear on the customer’s
credit card bill. Credit-Card Billing requires that the YesWare service provider
have a merchant account with Authorize.Net, an Internet credit-card
processing company.
Authorization Code billing
Authorization Code billing can be used in any YesWare service area. Using
this billing method, customers pay service charges before YesWare Internet
access is granted. Authorization Code billing requires that the YesWare
service provider generate an "Auth Code" using the Billing Manager module.
Conference Room Billing
Conference Room Billing is used only in conference or meeting rooms. Using
this billing method, YesWare Internet access charges appear on the receipts
generated by YesWare’s Conference Scheduler module. Chapter 11, “YesWare
conference room and meeting services” describes the requirements and
procedures for using the Conference Scheduler module.
VBN billing methods and the Port Use Context
YesWare VBN billing methods are configured using the "Port Use Context"
provisioned for each VBN port (EtherLoop or Ethernet). Port Use Contexts
can be set to guest, credit, meeting, public, or network.
Note: The network Port Use Context is not a billable setting.
Figure 1-6 on page 1-16 shows an Ethernet Port Configuration dialog with
the Port Use Context of "guest." Table 1-4 on page 1-16 lists the Port Use
Context requirements for each of the YesWare billing methods.
