Agent and customer wallets for travel booking
Every account on Nodes Travels, agent or customer, has a wallet. It is a simple, auditable ledger that you control from the admin. Here is precisely how it behaves.
How money enters and leaves a wallet
| Entry type | Who triggers it |
|---|---|
| Admin credit | You, from the customer's page in the admin |
| Admin debit (adjustment) | You; it cannot take the balance below zero |
| Refund | You, when you record a refund to wallet |
| Promotional credit | You, as a goodwill or campaign credit |
| Loyalty points converted | The account holder, when they redeem points |
| Affiliate commission | Paid out from approved affiliate earnings |
| Used for a booking | The account holder, at checkout |
| Returned to wallet | Reversal when a wallet-paid booking is reversed |
Balance is always the sum of the ledger. Money never enters from the browser.
At checkout
Partial or full payment
The wallet pays as much of a booking as the balance covers; the rest goes to a normal payment method.
Fully paid means confirmed
If the wallet covers the whole amount, the booking is marked paid straight away, and auto-ticketing runs if you enabled it.
Safe against double spending
Wallet use runs in a database transaction, so two browser tabs cannot spend the same balance.
History for both sides
Account holders see their wallet in their account; you see the full ledger on the customer page.
Using it as an agent deposit account
A common B2B pattern works today: the agent sends you funds by bank transfer, you credit their wallet with a note, and they book against that balance at B2B prices.
Because only admins can credit a wallet, there is a human check on every top-up.
- Agent pays you offline
- You record an admin credit with a reference note
- Agent books; wallet is debited automatically
- Refunds can go back to the wallet
