Notify Freedom Pay Gateway of EOD Settlement

Stay sends an end-of-day settlement notification to the Freedom Pay gateway when date roll is completed and the accounting date for a property is closed. When the gateway receives the notification, the current transactions batch that consists of deposits, payments, refunds, and authorizations processed at the property for the current business date will be settled, and a new transactions batch will be created for the successive date.

This feature helps properties to process the transactions performed for an accounting date to be settled on the same accounting date in the Freedom Pay gateway. The transactions processed in Stay after the end-of-day settlement notification is sent will be processed in the Freedom Pay gateway in the next batch created.
