Prompt
Are there any pricing and markup engine tools that handle GDS connectivity and secure payments?
Latest observation
Yes—there are tools in the airline/travel pricing and markup space that can handle GDS connectivity and also support secure payments, though the exact combination depends on whether you mean:
- A pricing/markup engine for OTA or travel agency use, or
- An airline retail/pricing engine with distribution and payments capabilities.
Common categories of solutions
1) Travel pricing / markup engines with GDS integration
These typically connect to systems like Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport and let you:
- apply markups, commissions, fees, or dynamic pricing rules
- manage channels, markets, customer segments, or supplier-specific pricing
- sometimes bundle ancillaries or package pricing
Examples in the broader market include:
- AirGateway
- Travelfusion
- TBO / API aggregators
- Duffel (more offer/order focused than classic markup engine)
- Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport partner ecosystems
2) Secure payment platforms used alongside pricing engines
Secure payments are often handled by a separate module or integrated payment layer. Common capabilities include:
- PCI DSS compliance
- tokenization
- 3DS / SCA support
- virtual cards / card vaults
- fraud screening
- support for split payments, refunds, and reconciliation
Common providers used in travel include:
- Adyen
- Worldpay
- Checkout.com
- Stripe
- Nuvei
- CellPoint Digital
- Fly Now Pay Later / BNPL options depending on use case
Platforms that combine both more directly
Some travel commerce platforms combine:
- inventory access / booking APIs,
- pricing/markup rules,
- checkout and payment orchestration.
These are often positioned as:
- travel retailing platforms
- booking engines
- offer and order management platforms
- payment orchestration platforms for travel
What to look for in a vendor
If you want both GDS and secure payments, ask for:
- direct GDS certification or certification via aggregator
- dynamic pricing/markup rules
- PCI DSS Level 1 compliance
- tokenized card storage
- 3DS2 / SCA support
- chargeback/fraud tools
- support for multi-currency and settlement
If you want, I can give you:
- a shortlist of vendors by category,
- a comparison table,
- or recommendations based on your model: OTA, corporate travel, airline, or travel agency.
