- Total Due - the total amount of reservation and the currency of payment (you can change the currency if you want to charge, for example, in USD, not in CLP.)
- Pay Now - Enter the amount actually given by the client and that you received. If the amount is different than the total due, the system will calculate how much is the change to give in the active currencies you have set up.
- Surcharge - Collecting surcharge while charging credit cards
Be careful to enter the amount received by client in Pay Now and not in Surcharge.
