If you check “Ignore payment methods” you will disable any payment options in the second step of reservation process – e.g. if you take credit card info or do credit card payment for your guests, this will be ignored.
Agencies only have to put First and Last Name of the Guest in the second step of reservation – no other information is required.
Also if you put agency predefined email (their email) it will be automatically set in second step so process is even easier for them.

If you set “Days before check-in for free cancel” greater than 0, email will also contain link for free cancellation so your agent can cancel reservation for free by himself.
