# Expedia TAAP Integration

The <mark style="color:purple;">**Expedia TAAP integration**</mark> allows you to combine:

* Competitive hotel rates from Expedia via the Travel Agent Affiliate Program (TAAP)
* Seamless payment using <mark style="color:purple;">**TL Pay Virtual Cards**</mark>
* Automated reconciliation data inside Travel Ledger
* 1.2% cashback (until end of August 2026, followed by ongoing 1% rate)

This integration removes the need to manually reconcile Expedia bookings, while ensuring secure, controlled card payments.

See the document below for an overview:

1. **Request your credentials from your Expedia TAAP account manager**, these are your Tracking Code, Client ID, and Client Secret. Your account manager will send these to you in a secure file.
2. Once you have your credentials, these need to be added in Travel Ledger. **To enter the Tracking Code**, navigate to **Settings>My Company & Users>My Company**. You then need to add your Tracking Code as an additional ID under Expedia TAAP. Note: TAAP tracking codes are entered individually at branch level, like IATA and ABTA codes.

3. You will also need to **add the Client ID and Client Secret** in Travel Ledger. This will need to be added under **Partners>Supplier Integrations**:

<summary><mark style="color:purple;"><strong>Creating and lodging a card with Expedia TAAP</strong></mark></summary>

1. Create a **multi-use** card **(TL Pay → Virtual Cards → Create VCC → Multi-Use)**: Supplier Type **Supplier Integrated** → **Expedia TAAP**;&#x20;

* **Supplier Type** - choose 'Supplier Integrated' and Expedia TAAP, choose 'Supplier Integrated'.&#x20;
* **Interchange Fee** - defaulted to 2%, leave as this.
* **MCC Code** (optional) - leave blank
* **Card Expiry Date** (mandatory) chose 2 years from now&#x20;
* **Click 'Create'**

2. **Lodge it in Expedia TAAP:** log into your TAAP account, open payment settings, add the card as your **default payment** **method**, and name it clearly - e.g. “Travel Ledger VCC”.
3. **Check out with the lodged card** on future TAAP bookings. It works for both booking types:

* **Pay-now bookings** require pre-funding ([see here for how-to fund](/tl-pay-virtual-cards-vccs/funding-and-exposure.md)) before you make the booking
* **Deferred-payment bookings** only need funding by the charge date Expedia provides - which Travel Ledger displays against the booking.
