Payment Gateways

Property setting added (under financial tab) to not cancel provisional reservations

Guaranteed bookings will no longer be cancelled if subsequent payments fail.
A Property setting 'Cancel Prov. on payment error'  was added that can override automatic cancellations of provisional bookings if payment fails. It will be enabled by default.
Please Note - previously pay in advance/pay outstanding payments did not automatically cancel bookings on failed payments for some payment gateways like Pay Gate and VCS. With this change and 'Cancel Prov. on payment' being defaulted to true, provisional bookings will always be cancelled if an error occurs.

DerbySoft reservation payment type

Currently, when a reservation is received from DerbySoft that is guaranteed by credit card, these details are ignored (we do not save the CC details in the database) however, the payment type that gets set on the reservation is set to Account.
This causes issues at the hotel, where there is no way for the hotel to know they have to follow up with the guest to make payment.
This enhancement now sets the payment type on the reservation to Credit Card when details are received from DerbySoft. This will contain dummy credit card details.
