GO7, a travel technology company dedicated to empowering travel brands, has partnered with UATP to improve payment options for travel agencies using its W2 ticketing solution. W2, a key part of GO7’s solution suite, acts as the Airline Distribution provider, helping airlines generate additional revenue, resulting from global exposure and/or enhanced physical network. This collaboration allows travel agencies to easily use W2 e-Payment as a form of payment. W2 by GO7 is your global ticketing partner, providing reliable distribution & technology solutions and support.
Through the W2-UATP partnership, travel agencies can use W2 e-Payment as a form of payment for W2 tickets and for all other UATP Merchant Airlines worldwide in all applicable channels, ensuring a safe and efficient way to manage travel payments without hidden fees or currency conversion charges. With W2 e-Payment, Travel Agencies benefit from the standard reporting available via W2 and UATP, which complies with industry standards used by many big volume producers, contributing to fully scalable mid- and back-office processes for Travel Agencies. Moreover, Travel Agencies benefit from accelerated refunds.
“We are excited to bring the benefits of our W2 offering to a wider range of travel agencies worldwide,” said Peer Winter, Chief Distribution Officer of GO7. “As a UATP Issuer, we can tap into UATP’s network of Merchants, offering our travel agency customers more booking and payment options,” Winter continued. “Our partnership with UATP opens doors to new markets and accelerates our growth objectives, providing a win-win situation for all parties involved.”
The partnership boosts supplier relations by lowering airlines’ overall cost of acceptance and providing access to emerging markets where other payment options may not be available. In addition, reconciliation with W2-UATP is agile, safe, and requires less time to manage.
“The W2-UATP program we have developed with GO7 supports efficient, low-cost payments to airlines,” said Zach Ornelas, SVP of Global Network Sales at UATP. “The partnership enables airline bookings and payments through travel agencies that are otherwise challenged to operate with their existing limited options. With the current challenges in today’s travel environment, this new globally accessible payment solution is a significant advantage for agents and their customers’ experience.”
