Please follow the steps below to activate an API implementing company or GO7 Travel customer. The process is the same for both:

1. Open an agency for the company wishing to connect to you. Follow the standard business rules in your airline.
2. Ensure that you provide the agency with a booking limit and credit limit so that the API allows the company to make bookings.
3. If the company is already set up as an agency in your account, there is no need to open a new one unless you are adjusting their commissions.
4. Navigate to the Distribution module.
5. Access the "LDS" sub-module.
6. Add a new record. In this record, select the "LDS entity" provided by the API implementing company.
7. Choose the agency associated with the company you have opened.
8. The LDS/API client can now book your inventory using the API.

Companies will need to pay you according to your defined business rules, such as bank transfers or cheques. For companies using 3G Directpay xPay, you will automatically receive a 3G payment receipt in your system. Companies using the "Referral" mode only do not need to open accounts with every airline. For companies using a deposit, ensure that the agency has a booking limit and a valid deposit entered into their account to facilitate bookings.
