Admin Payment Gateway — 5% Commission
Once a tour is confirmed, the local guide or transport provider settles the mandatory 5%
platform commission here by online bank transfer or bank deposit, uploading a photo of the
receipt.
The settlement gateway lives inside the account of an approved local guide or transport
provider. Sign
in with your registered email address and password and it appears in your message box.
Confirmed tours awaiting settlement
Every tour our AI agent recorded as agreed with a tourist, and the 5% owed on it.
Pay the 5% commission
Show the account details below, transfer or deposit the commission into the Connect Ceylon
account, then upload a photo or PDF of your receipt. It goes straight to the administrator's
message box, and they confirm the settlement once the money shows in the company account. The
confirmation arrives in your message box.

Every 5% commission settlement put through the gateway by a local guide or transport provider.
A bank settlement always carries a photo or PDF of the payer's receipt, which is shown on the
settlement below and also arrives in the Customer Messages box as a message from the payer.
Confirm a settlement once the money shows in the company account; confirming one that is tied to
a tour also marks that negotiation's commission as received.
Card settlements marked “Old card form” were never charged. The gateway used to
take card details and file a settlement without ever contacting the payer's bank, so no money
moved on any of them. They are flagged in red below and the commission on them is still owed.
Any that were confirmed told the payer their money had arrived — check those against the bank
statement and reject the ones that never landed. Live card payments now go through PayHere,
which confirms them itself; those are labelled accordingly.
