Sertifi eAuthorizations and OPERA
Sertifi offers a direct plugin with Oracle Hospitality OPERA which enables straight-through payment processing by posting payment details directly to the OPERA system. This eliminates the risk of re-keying errors, prevents sensitive data exposure, and reduces administrative work.
Process
A guest receives a request from the Sertifi portal to submit their payment information for eAuthorization.
The payment information gets posted directly to the payment gateway you use via a Direct Post API.
The card verification, authorization code, token, and other details are securely returned to Sertifi from the payment gateway.
Sertifi pushes the payment token or payment data and routing for authorized charges into your OPERA system. The data sent to OPERA includes:
Credit card data
Credit card token for tokenized systems
Comment of authorized charges or others
Alert
Trace
This entire process is performed with TLS 1.2+ encryption to protect all information flows and communication.

Best Practices

Click the name of the reservation and set up Routing for the reservation using the information from the trace.
As a best practice, you should routinely check the OPERA Status Report in Sertifi to ensure that no reservations failed to create a trace in OPERA.
